Updated Analysis of the Military Situation in Ukraine: March 18, 2025, 13:31 UTC

Key Changes and Developments (13:01 UTC - 13:31 UTC)

1. REPORTED RUSSIAN ADVANCES IN SUMY AND ZAPORIZHZHIA OBLASTS (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, UKRAINIAN & RUSSIAN SOURCES):

   • Операция Z: Военкоры Русской Весны (13:29 UTC): Cites Ukrainian MP Bezuhla claiming Russian forces have advanced several kilometers into Sumy Oblast, mirroring the remaining Ukrainian-controlled territory in Kursk Oblast. Also claims "negative news" is expected from Zaporizhzhia Oblast, referencing Russian advances near Piatykhatky-Shcherbaky.

• Assessment: This CORROBORATES PREVIOUS REPORTS of RUSSIAN ACTIVITY in SUMY OBLAST and ZAPORIZHZHIA OBLAST. The CLAIM OF MIRRORING ADVANCES is INTERESTING, but needs CAREFUL VERIFICATION. The VAGUE REFERENCE to "negative news" in ZAPORIZHZHIA suggests POTENTIAL RUSSIAN GAINS. INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION is CRUCIAL.

2. REPORTED DESTRUCTION OF OIL REFINERY IN KHARKIV OBLAST (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):

   • РБК-Україна (13:12 UTC): Reports that Russian drones destroyed an oil refinery in Merefa, Kharkiv Oblast, belonging to the AES Group. Claims approximately 20 drones were used in the two-hour attack, the fourth on the facility since February 2022. The refinery was reportedly operating at only 10% capacity before the attack, but is now completely destroyed.
   • Assessment: This CONFIRMS A SIGNIFICANT RUSSIAN STRIKE on CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE. The REPEATED TARGETING of this REFINERY indicates a RUSSIAN STRATEGY to DEGRADE UKRAINIAN FUEL PRODUCTION CAPACITY. The REPORTED COMPLETE DESTRUCTION has SERIOUS ECONOMIC AND LOGISTICAL IMPLICATIONS.

3. CLAIMED RUSSIAN ADVANCES NEAR NOVOMYKHAYLIVKA, NOVLYUBOVKA, AND KATERINIVKA (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):

   • Дневник Десантника (13:27 UTC): Claims Russian forces eliminated enemy strongpoints and "cleansed" Novolyubovka, advancing 4 km2 north. Claims ongoing advance towards Katerinovka.

• Colonelcassad:(13:12): Reports the situation as of 18th of March.

• Kharkiv Direction: Claims damage on mechanized brigade near Volchansk, >35 casualties, destroyed 4 automobiles, 1 field artillery, and 1 EW station.

• West Group: Claims improved tactical position. Claims damage to 3 mechanized brigades, 1 assault brigade, 1 TO brigade, 205 casualties, 3 armored vehicles, 5 pickups, 4 artillery, ammunition depot, and 3 EW stations.

• South Group: Claims more advantageous positions, with damage to mechanized, infantry, and airmobile brigades, claiming 200 casualties, 2 armored vehicles, 3 automobiles.

• Center Group: Claims continued advancement, damaging 3 mechanized, 1 assault, 1 marine, and 1 national guard, with 440 casualties, 4 armored vehicles, 6 automobiles, 3 artillery.

• East Group: Claims improved frontline position, damaging motor infantry, airmobile, and TO, with 145 casualties, 2 armored vehicles, 2 automobiles, 5 field artillery.

• Dnipro Group: Claims damaging 2 coastal defense brigades, claiming 70 casualties, 3 automobiles, and an ammunition depot.

• Claims damage to oil infrastructure, military aerodromes, drone storage, and troop concentration.

• Claims shooting down 5 JDAM, HIMARS, and 117 drones.

  • Assessment: REQUIRES VERIFICATION. These are CONSISTENT with PREVIOUS REPORTS of RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS in these AREAS, but INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION is ESSENTIAL. The CLAIM OF 4 KM2 ADVANCE is SIGNIFICANT if TRUE.

4. REPORTED SENTENCING OF RUSSIAN INFORMANT (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):

   • Mash на Донбассе (13:03 UTC): Reports that a 41-year-old man, Alexey Baev, was sentenced to 22 years in a strict regime colony for providing information to the Ukrainian SBU that led to a rocket attack on a temporary refugee shelter in Novoaydarsky District.
   • Assessment: This HIGHLIGHTS the RISK OF ESPIONAGE and the CONSEQUENCES OF PROVIDING INFORMATION to the ENEMY. It also serves as a DETERRENT MESSAGE within RUSSIAN-CONTROLLED TERRITORIES.

5. REPORTED SWEDISH ANTI-DRONE SYSTEM (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):

   • АРХАНГЕЛ СПЕЦНАЗА (13:03 UTC): Reports that Swedish company Saab AB developed the "Loke" anti-drone complex in 84 days, with participation from the Swedish Air Force and defense procurement agency. Claims the system includes a Saab Giraffe 1X radar and a remotely controlled Trackfire combat module with 12.7mm and 7.62mm machine guns. Suggests the system may be deployed to Ukraine.
   • Assessment: This HIGHLIGHTS the CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT of COUNTER-DRONE TECHNOLOGY. The RAPID DEVELOPMENT TIME is NOTABLE. The POTENTIAL DEPLOYMENT TO UKRAINE would ENHANCE UKRAINIAN AIR DEFENSE CAPABILITIES against SMALL DRONES.

6. REPORTED UKRAINIAN DRONE STRIKES (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):

   • STERNENKO (13:07 UTC): Reports that the Perun battalion of the 42nd Mechanized Brigade destroyed 4 trucks, a BMM, and one Russian personnel in the Kharkiv region using drones.
   • Assessment: REQUIRES VERIFICATION. This REINFORCES PREVIOUS REPORTS of UKRAINIAN DRONE OPERATIONS. The SPECIFICITY OF THE TARGETS (trucks, BMM) suggests a FOCUS ON DISRUPTING RUSSIAN LOGISTICS and COMBAT CAPABILITY.

7. REPORTED ESTONIA, LATVIA, LITHUANIA, AND POLAND WITHDRAWING FROM THE OTTAWA CONVENTION (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):

• Операция Z: Военкоры Русской Весны (13:17 UTC): Claims the defense ministers of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland announced their withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention, which bans the use of anti-personnel mines.
• Assessment: This would be a SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT. Withdrawal from the treaty WOULD ALLOW THESE COUNTRIES to USE ANTI-PERSONNEL MINES, potentially ALTERING THEIR DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES. IMMEDIATE VERIFICATION is CRITICAL.

8. REPORTED UKRAINIAN FORCES ATTACK ON SCHOOLBUS (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):

• No changes, but maintaining previous belief.

Updated Recommendations

1. VERIFY REPORTED RUSSIAN ADVANCES IN SUMY AND ZAPORIZHZHIA (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):

   • DEPLOY INTELLIGENCE ASSETS to SUMY and ZAPORIZHZHIA OBLASTS to CONFIRM the REPORTED RUSSIAN ADVANCES.
   • PRIORITIZE IMAGERY INTELLIGENCE and HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.
   • ASSESS THE EXTENT OF RUSSIAN CONTROL and the IMPACT ON UKRAINIAN DEFENSIVE POSITIONS.

2. ASSESS THE IMPACT OF THE OIL REFINERY DESTRUCTION (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):

   • GATHER INTELLIGENCE on the EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE to the MEREFA REFINERY.
   • ASSESS THE IMPACT on UKRAINIAN FUEL PRODUCTION CAPACITY and LOGISTICS.
   • DEVELOP PLANS to MITIGATE THE IMPACT, including SEEKING ALTERNATIVE FUEL SOURCES and REPAIRING THE FACILITY (if possible).

3. VERIFY REPORTED RUSSIAN ADVANCES NEAR VARIOUS LOCATIONS (MEDIUM PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):

• GATHER INTELLIGENCE to VERIFY RUSSIAN CLAIMS of FURTHER ADVANCES.

4. VERIFY THE REPORT OF THE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE OTTAWA CONVENTION (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):

• CONTACT UKRAINIAN, ESTONIAN, LATVIAN, LITHUANIAN, AND POLISH OFFICIALS IMMEDIATELY to CONFIRM or DENY the REPORT.

5. MAINTAIN ALL OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS (ADJUSTED PRIORITIES).

The situation remains EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HIGHLY DYNAMIC. The POTENTIAL TRUMP-PUTIN CALL, the REPORT OF UK TROOP DEPLOYMENT, and a POSSIBLE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE OTTAWA CONVENTION represent POTENTIALLY GAME-CHANGING DEVELOPMENTS. The CONTINUED RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE, the POSSIBILITY OF A NEW FRONT IN SUMY OBLAST, and the DESTRUCTION OF THE OIL REFINERY add to the IMMEDIATE THREATS. The REPORTED UKRAINIAN FORCES ATTACK ON A SCHOOL BUS requires IMMEDIATE ATTENTION and INVESTIGATION. RAPID RESPONSE, EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION, AND CONSTANT MONITORING are CRITICAL. VERIFICATION of ALL CLAIMS is ESSENTIAL.
