Updated Analysis of the Military Situation in Ukraine: March 13, 2025, 06:12 UTC

Key Changes and Developments (05:43 UTC - 06:12 UTC)

UKRAINIAN ATACMS DEPLETION (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, US SOURCE):
- ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS (05:43 UTC), citing AP: Reports that Ukraine has completely run out of long-range ATACMS ballistic missiles.
- Assessment: IF CONFIRMED, this represents a SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION in UKRAINIAN LONG-RANGE STRIKE CAPABILITY. This would LIMIT UKRAINE'S ABILITY to TARGET RUSSIAN LOGISTICS, COMMAND AND CONTROL, and HIGH-VALUE ASSETS at LONGER RANGES. This REQUIRES IMMEDIATE VERIFICATION and POTENTIALLY URGENT ACTION to ADDRESS THE SHORTFALL.
RUSSIAN CEASEFIRE POSITION (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
- ТАСС (05:44 UTC), citing Russian Ambassador to the UK, Kelin: Reports that Russia will consider a US ceasefire proposal for eastern Ukraine, but that a complete cessation of hostilities will only follow a peace agreement.
- Assessment: This SUGGESTS A POTENTIAL OPENING for NEGOTIATIONS, but with STRICT CONDITIONS. Russia's INSISTENCE on a PEACE AGREEMENT before a COMPLETE CEASEFIRE indicates that NEGOTIATIONS WILL LIKELY BE PROTRACTED AND DIFFICULT.
POLAND'S CALL FOR US NUCLEAR WEAPONS (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
- Операция Z: Военкоры Русской Весны (05:44 UTC): Reports that Polish President Duda is calling for the US to deploy nuclear weapons in Poland as a deterrent against potential Russian aggression.
- Assessment: This is a HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT AND POTENTIALLY ESCALATORY DEVELOPMENT. The DEPLOYMENT OF US NUCLEAR WEAPONS in POLAND would be VIEWED AS A MAJOR THREAT by RUSSIA and could DRAMATICALLY INCREASE TENSIONS in the REGION. This REQUIRES CLOSE MONITORING.
UKRAINIAN LOSSES IN KURSK OBLAST (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
- НгП раZVедка (05:42 UTC): Claims that Ukrainian forces (80th, 82nd, and 95th Air Assault Brigades) suffered 80% losses in personnel during operations in Kursk Oblast. Claims that much of this will be written off as "missing in action."
- Assessment: These CLAIMS of EXTREMELY HIGH UKRAINIAN CASUALTIES should be TREATED WITH CAUTION, as they come from a RUSSIAN SOURCE and are LIKELY EXAGGERATED. However, even if the ACTUAL LOSSES are LOWER, they are likely SUBSTANTIAL, given the INTENSITY OF FIGHTING in the REGION.
DRONE ATTACKS IN RUSSIA (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, VARIOUS SOURCES):
- Оперативний ЗСУ (05:45 UTC): Reports damage to infrastructure at an unspecified facility in Tambov Oblast due to a drone attack.
- ТАСС (05:47 UTC): Reports damage to non-residential objects in the Petrovsky district of Saratov Oblast after a drone attack.
- Assessment: These reports CONFIRM CONTINUED DRONE ATTACKS INSIDE RUSSIA. The TARGETING OF INFRASTRUCTURE suggests a DELIBERATE EFFORT to DISRUPT RUSSIAN CAPABILITIES.
RUSSIAN MINISTRY OF DEFENSE CLAIMS (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCES):
- Операция Z: Военкоры Русской Весны (05:45 UTC): Reports on a massed attack on the regions of Russia.
  - 30 UAV – over the Bryansk region
  - 25 UAV – over the Kaluga region
  - 6 UAV over the Kursk region
  - 6 UAV – over the Voronezh region
  - 5 UAV – over the Rostov region
  - 5 UAV – over the Belgorod region
RUSSIAN RESTRICTIONS ON "FOREIGN AGENTS" (LOW PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
- ТАСС (06:00 UTC): Reports that the State Duma is developing three bills to tighten control over "foreign agents."
- Assessment: This suggests CONTINUED EFFORTS BY RUSSIA to SUPPRESS DISSENT and CONTROL INFORMATION.
CLAIMED KILLING OF UKRAINIAN POWS (EXTREME PRIORITY, REPORTED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):
- STERNENKO (06:10 UTC): Reports that Russian forces shot Ukrainian POWs in Kozacha Loknya, Kursk Oblast. Claims at least 5 were killed in the released video (not shown). Reports that Ukrainian units in the area had been blocked for about a week.
- Assessment: IF CONFIRMED, this would constitute a WAR CRIME. This REQUIRES IMMEDIATE AND THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. The CLAIM THAT UKRAINIAN UNITS WERE BLOCKED for a WEEK further HIGHLIGHTS the DIFFICULT SITUATION for UKRAINIAN FORCES in the KURSK REGION.

Updated Situation Summary

EXTREME PRIORITY:
- CLAIMED KILLING OF UKRAINIAN POWS in KOZACHA LOKNYA, KURSK OBLAST. THIS REQUIRES IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION.
- CONTINUED RUSSIAN ADVANCES in the KURSK REGION, with MULTIPLE REPORTS indicating a RAPIDLY DETERIORATING SITUATION for UKRAINIAN FORCES. SUDZHA is REPORTEDLY UNDER RUSSIAN CONTROL, with FIGHTING ONGOING in SURROUNDING AREAS.
- ALL PREVIOUS EXTREME-PRIORITY ISSUES REMAIN RELEVANT.
HIGH PRIORITY:
- UKRAINIAN ATACMS DEPLETION, representing a MAJOR REDUCTION in LONG-RANGE STRIKE CAPABILITY.
- POLAND'S CALL FOR US NUCLEAR WEAPONS, a POTENTIALLY ESCALATORY DEVELOPMENT.
- CLAIMS OF EXTREMELY HIGH UKRAINIAN CASUALTIES in the KURSK REGION.
- ALL PREVIOUS HIGH-PRIORITY ISSUES REMAIN RELEVANT.
MEDIUM PRIORITY:
- CONTINUED DRONE ATTACKS INSIDE RUSSIA, targeting INFRASTRUCTURE.
- RUSSIAN CEASEFIRE POSITION, indicating POTENTIAL FOR NEGOTIATIONS, but with STRICT CONDITIONS.
- ALL PREVIOUS MEDIUM-PRIORITY ISSUES REMAIN RELEVANT.
LOW PRIORITY
- RUSSIAN RESTRICTIONS ON "FOREIGN AGENTS", indicating CONTINUED SUPPRESSION OF DISSENT.

Updated Recommendations

INVESTIGATE CLAIMED KILLING OF UKRAINIAN POWS (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
- LAUNCH AN IMMEDIATE AND THOROUGH INVESTIGATION into the CLAIMED KILLING OF UKRAINIAN POWS in KOZACHA LOKNYA.
- GATHER ALL AVAILABLE EVIDENCE, including VIDEO FOOTAGE, WITNESS TESTIMONY, and FORENSIC ANALYSIS.
- COORDINATE WITH INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, such as the INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC), to DOCUMENT THE INCIDENT and IDENTIFY THOSE RESPONSIBLE.
- PREPARE FOR INTERNATIONAL CONDEMNATION and POTENTIAL LEGAL ACTION if the CLAIMS ARE VERIFIED.
ADDRESS UKRAINIAN ATACMS DEPLETION (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
- URGENTLY VERIFY the REPORT that UKRAINE HAS RUN OUT OF ATACMS MISSILES.
- IF CONFIRMED, IMMEDIATELY REQUEST ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES from the US and other ALLIES.
- EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE LONG-RANGE STRIKE OPTIONS, such as OTHER MISSILE SYSTEMS or INCREASED USE OF DRONES.
- ADJUST OPERATIONAL PLANS to ACCOUNT FOR THE REDUCED LONG-RANGE STRIKE CAPABILITY.
MONITOR DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING POLAND'S CALL FOR US NUCLEAR WEAPONS (HIGH PRIORITY, CONTINUOUS ACTION):
- CLOSELY MONITOR THE SITUATION and GATHER INTELLIGENCE on US and NATO RESPONSES to POLAND'S REQUEST.
- ASSESS THE POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS for REGIONAL SECURITY and the RISK OF ESCALATION.
- PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL RUSSIAN REACTIONS, including INCREASED MILITARY ACTIVITY or PROPAGANDA EFFORTS.
ADDRESS THE SITUATION IN THE KURSK REGION (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONTINUOUS ACTION):
- ALL PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS REMAIN IN EFFECT, WITH INCREASED URGENCY. The CONFIRMATION OF RUSSIAN ADVANCES and UKRAINIAN WITHDRAWALS, along with the REPORTS OF HEAVY FIGHTING and POTENTIAL ENCIRCLEMENT, require a RAPID, DECISIVE, AND COORDINATED RESPONSE.
- URGENTLY ASSESS THE SITUATION of UKRAINIAN FORCES in the REGION, particularly those REPORTEDLY BLOCKED in KOZACHA LOKNYA.
- PROVIDE SUPPORT AND REINFORCEMENTS where FEASIBLE, prioritizing the EVACUATION OF PERSONNEL and the PRESERVATION OF EQUIPMENT.
- DEVELOP CONTINGENCY PLANS for a POTENTIAL WITHDRAWAL from UNSUSTAINABLE POSITIONS.
- PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL RUSSIAN ADVANCES into the SUMY OBLAST.
COUNTER RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION (MEDIUM PRIORITY, CONTINUOUS ACTION):
- **CLOSELY MONITOR RUSSIAN MEDIA and SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS for DISINFORMATION and PROPAGANDA.
- COUNTER FALSE NARRATIVES with ACCURATE AND TIMELY INFORMATION.
- COORDINATE WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS to SHARE INFORMATION and COUNTER RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION EFFORTS.
MAINTAIN ALL PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS. The situation remains EXTREMELY CRITICAL AND DYNAMIC. The CLAIMED KILLING OF UKRAINIAN POWS, the CONTINUED RUSSIAN ADVANCES in the KURSK REGION, the DEPLETION OF UKRAINIAN ATACMS MISSILES, and POLAND'S CALL FOR US NUCLEAR WEAPONS represent MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS that REQUIRE IMMEDIATE AND DECISIVE ACTION. The INFORMATION WAR continues to INTENSIFY, making ACCURATE INTELLIGENCE GATHERING and EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION more IMPORTANT THAN EVER.
