  12. MAINTAIN ALL PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS. No Change

  13. INVESTIGATE IZIUM DRONE ATTACK (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):

  • GATHER FURTHER INFORMATION on the IZIUM DRONE ATTACK, including TARGETS HIT, CASUALTIES, and DAMAGE ASSESSMENT.
  • ASSESS THE POTENTIAL IMPACT on CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE and HUMANITARIAN NEEDS.
  1. MONITOR RUSSIAN CLAIMS OF "WAR CRIMES" (HIGH PRIORITY, ONGOING ACTION):

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

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

  1. UKRAINIAN ATACMS DEPLETION (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, US SOURCE):

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.
  2. 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.
