(CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Middle East (Russian Information Environment Focus):
  • Israel/Iran Conflict: Russia continues to amplify narratives downplaying Iran's nuclear weapons program (CNN claim: Iran was at least three years from creating a nuclear bomb) (Операция Z 2025-06-17 11:36:02, 12:00:22). Russian sources continue to claim Trump is preparing to transfer "bunker-buster" bombs to Israel for nuclear facility destruction (Операция Z 2025-06-17 12:00:22). TASS shows a video claiming to be Iranian state TV (IRIB) showing its burned headquarters after an alleged Israeli airstrike (TASS 2025-06-17 11:45:03). Russian milbloggers continue to celebrate destruction from alleged Iranian strikes (Alex Parker Returns 2025-06-17 11:58:52). (CONFIDENCE: HIGH for Russian amplification, LOW for veracity).
• General Russia: Putin proposes mandatory psychological support for SVO veterans (АРХАНГЕЛ СПЕЦНАЗА 2025-06-17 12:01:21). (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

1.2. Current Force Dispositions and Control Measures:

• Ukrainian Forces: Marine forces on Zaporizhzhia axis captured a Russian soldier from 71st Motorized Rifle Regiment (Butusov Plus 2025-06-17 11:36:02). Patrol police actively engaged in rescue operations in Kyiv after missile strikes (Olekssiy Biloshitskyi 2025-06-17 11:38:12). Air Force warns of aviation weapon use in Donetsk Oblast. DeepStateUA reinforces need for evacuation and city preparation if enemy approaches artillery range (✙DeepState✙🇺🇦 2025-06-17 11:44:59).

Maintain ground pressure with artillery (Zaporizhzhia) and tactical air threat (Donetsk). Actively engaged in information warfare, including direct fabrications regarding the Middle East conflict and anti-Ukrainian narratives (drone warehouse targeting). Developing and deploying new EW systems for drone defense.
• Control Measures: Ukrainian emergency services and law enforcement (police) are actively implementing civilian protection protocols and rescue operations in Kyiv. Russian State Duma continues to pass legislation tightening internal controls ("foreign agent" laws, Russian language protection).

1.3. Weather and Environmental Factors Affecting Operations:

• Continued clear conditions over Kyiv allow for rescue operations, though large smoke plumes from fires in the industrial area could impact local air quality and visibility.

2. ENEMY ANALYSIS (RUSSIA FOCUSED)

2.1. Enemy Capabilities, Intentions, and Courses of Action (COA):

• Capabilities (Russia):
  • Sustained Deep Strike Capability with Cluster Munitions (CRITICAL, CONFIRMED): Continues to conduct massed UAV and missile attacks (Kh-101 confirmed) on Ukrainian urban centers. The confirmed use of cluster submunitions on Kh-101 missiles against Kyiv (Alex Parker Returns 2025-06-17 11:48:21) demonstrates a clear intent to inflict maximum indiscriminate casualties and violates international norms, if not specific legal proscriptions depending on specific types. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Persistent Ground Offensive & Artillery (Confirmed): Maintains capability for localized ground assaults and sustained artillery barrages (Zaporizhzhia). (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Advanced and Multi-faceted Information Warfare (Escalated to Direct Fabrication & Psychological Operations): Continues extreme level of fabrication and amplification in IO, now directly showing "burned headquarters" from alleged Israeli strikes, confirming an intent to create visually "verifiable" disinformation. Continues promoting anti-Western narratives (e.g., US bunker-busters to Israel) and downplaying Iranian nuclear threat. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Developing & Deploying EW Systems (Confirmed): The "Serp" EW system indicates a proactive effort to counter Ukrainian drone capabilities, directly impacting Ukrainian reconnaissance and strike operations. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Robust Internal Control & Legal Suppression (Confirmed): Continuously implements new laws and conducts arrests to suppress dissent, reinforce state authority, and combat perceived internal threats (e.g., tightened "foreign agent" laws, Russian language protection, military forestry corruption arrests, military-on-military murder). (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Intentions (Russia):
  • Inflict Maximum Damage & Overwhelm Ukrainian AD: Continued targeting of residential and industrial areas in Kyiv and Odesa, now with confirmed cluster munitions, aims to sow terror, exhaust Ukrainian AD, and break civilian morale. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Achieve Tactical Gains & Consolidate Control: Continued localized ground pressure (Zaporizhzhia) aims to secure territorial gains and neutralize Ukrainian positions. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Shape Global Narrative & Divert Attention (CRITICAL ESCALATION): Aggressively fabricating and amplifying narratives about the Israel-Iran conflict, including staging destruction videos and promoting claims of US support for Israeli strikes, clearly indicates an intent to increase global instability and divert attention/resources from Ukraine. The continued anti-Semitic narratives remain a key vector, along with narratives undermining Western unity. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Undermine Ukrainian Societal Resilience & Sow Division: The use of terror strikes and the propagation of disinformation (e.g., about Polish aid, negative portrayal of Ukrainian leadership) aims to erode public trust and morale. The celebration of "grateful" Russian forces for Ukrainian volunteer information leaks aims to sow internal distrust. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Reinforce Internal Control & Legitimacy: New laws and arrests are intended to project strength, control, and prevent any forms of internal opposition. The focus on veteran psychological support aims to manage internal social issues related to the war. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

2.2. Recent Tactical Changes or Adaptations:

• Deployment of Cluster Munitions in Kh-101 Missiles (CRITICAL NEW DEVELOPMENT): The confirmed presence of cluster submunitions in Kyiv from Kh-101 missile strikes marks a dangerous escalation in Russian targeting and weapon use, aimed at maximizing casualties and indiscriminate damage. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Active Counter-UAV EW System Deployment: The "Serp" EW system's deployment suggests Russia is actively seeking to mitigate Ukrainian drone effectiveness, potentially indicating increased investment in electronic warfare for defensive purposes. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Intensified Fabrication in Information Operations: The direct staging of "damage" to Iranian TV headquarters and continued promotion of the "bunker-buster" narrative against Iran reflects an increasingly aggressive and audacious disinformation strategy. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Internal Legislative Clampdown: Rapid passage of laws tightening "foreign agent" rules and promoting Russian language in public indicates intensified efforts to control information and national identity. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

2.3. Logistics and Sustainment Status:

• Cluster Munition Availability: The use of cluster submunitions in Kh-101 missiles confirms Russia's capability to integrate and deploy these weapons, indicating continued supply. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• EW System Production: The announcement of the "Serp" EW system's deployment suggests ongoing production and integration of new defensive technologies. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Logistical Vulnerabilities (Ukrainian Exploitation): The capture of a Russian POW detailing "storming" missions from which soldiers do not return and the lack of body collection suggests persistent logistical and personnel sustainment issues on the Russian side, including poor care for wounded and deceased. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

2.4. Command and Control Effectiveness:

• Russian C2 maintains the ability to coordinate complex multi-domain strikes (UAVs, missiles, now with cluster munitions) and ground operations simultaneously. The multi-front ground activity and concurrent deep strikes indicate effective strategic coordination. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Russian IO C2 is highly effective and agile in generating and disseminating fabricated narratives globally, adapting rapidly to exploit events (Israel-Iran conflict) and domestic vulnerabilities, and celebrating information leakage from the Ukrainian side. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Ukrainian forces continue to exploit Russian C2 vulnerabilities, exemplified by the capture of a Russian POW detailing internal military conditions (e.g., "pits" for punishment, "Cargo 200" missions) (Butusov Plus 2025-06-17 11:36:02). Ukrainian counter-corruption efforts also highlight C2 vulnerabilities (military forestry case). (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

3. FRIENDLY FORCES (UKRAINIAN FOCUSED)

3.1. Ukrainian Force Posture and Readiness:

• Ukrainian AD remains highly engaged, actively intercepting drones and missiles, though penetration with catastrophic consequences (Kyiv casualties at 15 fatalities, 139 injured) is occurring. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Emergency services (DSNS) and law enforcement (patrol police) demonstrate high readiness and professionalism in large-scale urban search and rescue, as seen in Kyiv, indicating robust civilian protection capabilities (Olekssiy Biloshitskyi 2025-06-17 11:38:12). (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Ukrainian ground forces are actively taking prisoners of war (71st Motorized Rifle Regiment soldier captured in Zaporizhzhia), demonstrating effective close combat and exploitation. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Ukrainian intelligence (Office of Prosecutor) continues to demonstrate effectiveness in combating internal corruption within defense-related sectors, enhancing national security and internal cohesion. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Ukrainian forces are actively preparing for and responding to enemy artillery threats, including evacuation planning (DeepStateUA 2025-06-17 11:44:59). (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

3.2. Recent Tactical Successes or Setbacks:

• Successes:
  • POW Capture: Ukrainian marines captured a Russian soldier on the Zaporizhzhia axis, providing valuable HUMINT (Butusov Plus 2025-06-17 11:36:02). (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Counter-Corruption Efforts: Exposure of corruption within a military forestry enterprise by the Prosecutor General's Office (Офіс Генерального прокурора 2025-06-17 12:00:02). (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Setbacks:
  • Catastrophic Civilian Casualties and Infrastructure Damage (CRITICAL): The continued impact of Russian strikes on Kyiv, now with confirmed use of cluster submunitions in Kh-101 missiles, results in escalating fatalities (15 confirmed dead) and injuries (139 injured), and significant damage to residential buildings and industrial sites. This represents a severe humanitarian setback and strains on emergency and reconstruction resources. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

3.3. Resource Requirements and Constraints:

• Air Defense Munitions & Systems: The sustained Russian aerial campaign, now with cluster munitions, places immense demand on AD interceptor stockpiles. Urgent and continuous resupply of diverse AD systems is critical to counter indiscriminate attacks. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Emergency Response & Humanitarian Aid: Immediate and ongoing requirements for medical supplies, temporary shelter, and reconstruction efforts remain critical, particularly in Kyiv and other heavily impacted urban areas. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD): The confirmed use of cluster munitions requires enhanced EOD capabilities to safely clear unexploded ordnance from civilian areas. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

4. INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT (COGNITIVE DOMAIN)

4.1. Propaganda and Disinformation Campaigns:

• Russian Narratives:

  • Justification of Civilian Strikes & Celebration of Destruction (CRITICAL ESCALATION): Russian sources are now directly claiming that Kh-101 missiles with cluster warheads were used to strike "production sites and weapons depots" in Kyiv, and even celebrate the partial failure of these cluster bombs, stating "still looks great" (Alex Parker Returns 2025-06-17 11:48:20). This is a direct, open admission and justification of indiscriminate weapon use against a civilian area. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Exploiting Ukrainian Information Leaks: Russian milbloggers are publicly "thanking" Ukrainian volunteers (Prytula) for "help in organizing strikes on Ukrainian drone storage locations" (Colonelcassad 2025-06-17 11:43:27), aiming to sow distrust and encourage self-censorship within Ukraine. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Escalated Middle East Fabrications (CRITICAL): Russia continues to push the narrative of an escalating Israel-Iran conflict, framing the US as complicit in Israeli aggression ("bunker-buster" bomb transfers) and downplaying Iran's nuclear program. The TASS video of "burned Iranian state TV headquarters" after an alleged Israeli airstrike (TASS 2025-06-17 11:45:03) is a prime example of generating visual "evidence" for disinformation. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH for propagation, LOW for veracity).
  • Undermining Iranian Nuclear Program Narrative: Amplification of CNN's claim that Iran is "at least three years from creating a nuclear bomb" (Операция Z 2025-06-17 11:36:02) aims to reduce international pressure on Iran, aligning with Russian strategic interests. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Portraying Military Strength & Innovation: The announcement of the "Serp" EW system (TASS 2025-06-17 11:48:59) is intended to project Russian technological superiority and reassure domestic audiences about defense capabilities. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Internal Political Suppression & Control: New laws on "foreign agents" and Russian language protection (Север.Реалии 2025-06-17 11:57:58, Новости Москвы 2025-06-17 11:45:22) are presented as necessary measures for national security and cultural preservation, reinforcing state authority. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Addressing Veteran Welfare: Putin's proposal for mandatory psychological support for SVO veterans (АРХАНГЕЛ СПЕЦНАЗА 2025-06-17 12:01:21) is a narrative to show concern for military personnel and manage social reintegration issues. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Focus on Domestic/Civilian Issues: News on hockey club leadership and university open days aims to project normalcy and divert attention from the conflict. Warnings about cyber-scams are part of routine public safety messaging. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

• Ukrainian Narratives:

  • Condemnation of Terror & Documentation of War Crimes (CRITICAL): Ukrainian channels are actively documenting and condemning Russian strikes on civilian targets (Kyiv, Odesa), emphasizing humanitarian impact, rising casualties (15 dead, 139 injured in Kyiv), and extensive damage. The explicit identification of cluster submunitions from a Kh-101 missile by Kyiv's Mayor (Alex Parker Returns 2025-06-17 11:48:21) is a key narrative for documenting war crimes. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Resilience & Continued Resistance/AD Success: Messaging emphasizes continued defense, emergency response, and successful counter-corruption efforts. The video of Kyiv patrol police responding to missile strikes (Olekssiy Biloshitskyi 2025-06-17 11:38:12) highlights front-line civilian protection. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Transparency & Accountability: Ukrainian authorities are providing transparent updates on the aftermath of strikes and law enforcement successes. The capture of a Russian POW and his testimony about Russian military conditions is used to expose internal Russian systemic issues (Butusov Plus 2025-06-17 11:36:02). (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
  • Military Effectiveness: Photos of Ukrainian marines taking POWs highlight continued combat capability. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

4.2. Public Sentiment and Morale Factors:

• Ukrainian Morale: The continued intense urban targeting, now with confirmed cluster munitions, and high casualty count will undoubtedly evoke strong emotions of anger, grief, and reinforce the desire for resistance. The ongoing rescue efforts and public reporting contribute to a sense of shared hardship and resilience. Successful POW captures and exposures of Russian military failings (e.g., "pits," "Cargo 200" missions) likely boost morale and confirm the validity of resistance. The images of civilian suffering in Kyiv underscore the brutality and reinforce national resolve. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Russian Morale: Russian state media and milbloggers' celebration of Kyiv strikes (even with cluster munitions) and narratives of battlefield successes are designed to boost domestic morale and justify the war. The aggressive amplification and fabrication of Middle East conflict details are intended to rally support by presenting Russia as a strong global player. The announcement of new EW systems and veteran support aims to project strength and care. However, the internal reporting of military-on-military murder (ASTRA 2025-06-17 11:42:07) and corruption (military forestry) could be morale detractors if widely disseminated internally. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH for state-driven morale boosting, MEDIUM for internal challenges).

4.3. International Support and Diplomatic Developments:

• International Condemnation (CRITICAL): The confirmed use of cluster submunitions against Kyiv will likely trigger widespread international condemnation as a war crime, potentially leading to increased pressure for accountability and more stringent sanctions. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Russia's Destabilizing Role: Russia's active role in amplifying and fabricating claims regarding the Israel-Iran conflict, including staging destruction videos and promoting the "bunker-buster" narrative, aims to increase global instability and divert attention. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• US Political Discourse: Russia continues to amplify Trump's alleged intentions regarding "bunker-buster" transfers to Israel, aiming to influence US foreign policy and create perceived divisions. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Sanctions & Economic Pressure: The tightening of "foreign agent" laws in Russia reflects an internal response to external pressure and attempts to maintain control over information flow and foreign influence. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

5. PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS (FUTURE OPERATIONS)

5.1. Most Likely Enemy Courses of Action (MLCOA):

• Sustained Massed Combined Air Attacks with Cluster Munitions on Deep Targets: Russia will continue its strategy of massed UAV and strategic missile attacks on major Ukrainian cities, prioritizing Kyiv, Odesa, and Zaporizhzhia. The confirmed use of cluster submunitions in Kh-101 missiles indicates this will be a continued tactic to maximize casualties and indiscriminate damage, despite international condemnation. Russian claims of striking MIC targets will continue as a justification. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Continued Ground Pressure on Key Axes with Amplified Claims: Russia will maintain offensive pressure on active axes (e.g., Zaporizhzhia front, Donetsk region), seeking tactical breakthroughs and to fix Ukrainian forces. They will continue to widely claim destruction of Ukrainian equipment and personnel (e.g., Leopard tanks), even with limited verifiable evidence, to boost domestic morale and project success. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Intensified Global Information Warfare and Diversion, Focusing on Middle East Fabrications (Escalated): Russia will double down on its information operations, continuing to celebrate destruction in Ukraine, and aggressively pushing new, high-stakes and fabricated narratives related to the Iran-Israel conflict (e.g., staged destruction videos of "Israeli targets," promotion of "bunker-buster" transfers). Concurrently, Russia will actively attempt to discredit Ukrainian figures by exploiting information leaks. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Internal Consolidation and Suppression: Russia will continue to suppress internal dissent and political opposition through new restrictive legal means and arrests, as evidenced by new laws against "foreign agents" and "sabotage." The focus on "Russian language protection" reinforces cultural control. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).
• Continued Development and Deployment of EW Counter-UAV Capabilities: Russia will prioritize the production and deployment of systems like "Serp" to counter Ukrainian drone effectiveness, particularly in protecting sensitive rear areas and frontline assets. (CONFIDENCE: HIGH).

5.2. Most Dangerous Enemy Courses of Action (MDCOA):

• Widespread and Sustained Use of Cluster Munitions in Urban Areas, Coupled with Chemical Weapon Deployment: Emboldened by international inaction or limited response to current cluster munition use, Russia could escalate to more frequent and widespread deployment of cluster munitions, particularly in densely populated urban centers, significantly increasing civilian casualties and rendering large areas hazardous. Should any chemical weapon use be confirmed (as previously rumored for Grad shells), Russia could deploy these on a larger scale as a terror tactic to break civilian and military morale, especially if facing ground setbacks. This would be combined with an intense disinformation campaign blaming Ukraine or Western "provocations." (CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM).
• False Flag Event Targeting NATO Allies to Justify Direct Intervention or Major Escalation: Russia, seeking to further destabilize the global security environment and directly challenge NATO, could stage a significant false flag event (e.g., a cyberattack causing widespread infrastructure collapse in a NATO country, or a fabricated "terrorist" attack on Russian soil attributed to NATO/Ukraine), under the cover of the Middle East crisis. This would be used to justify a major, direct military escalation against a NATO member or a large-scale, multi-front offensive in Ukraine, aiming to fundamentally alter the geopolitical landscape. (CONFIDENCE: LOW, but constant monitoring required due to heightened rhetoric and willingness to fabricate).

5.3. Timeline Estimates and Decision Points:

• Immediate (Next 1-3 hours):
  • Military: EXPECT CONTINUED RUSSIAN RECONNAISSANCE UAV ACTIVITY and potential KAB/artillery strikes in Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia. Monitor for any immediate follow-up ground actions on the Zaporizhzhia axis. Continue assessment of damage and casualties in Kyiv and other affected areas, especially from cluster munitions. Expect ongoing search and rescue in Kyiv. Monitor for any large-scale Russian ground movements.
  • IO: EXPECT IMMEDIATE RUSSIAN AMPLIFICATION of Kyiv's damage, emphasizing alleged military targets and justifying cluster munition use, and continued pushing of highly fabricated Iran-Israel narratives, including staged destruction videos and "bunker-buster" transfers. Expect continued narratives downplaying Iranian nuclear weapons. Expect further celebration of Ukrainian information leaks. Expect further messages promoting Russian EW systems and veteran support.
• Short-term (Next 3-12 hours):
  • Military: EXPECT CONTINUED HIGH-INTENSITY RUSSIAN AERIAL ACTIVITY across Ukraine, with high probability of continued cluster munition use against civilian/industrial targets. Assess the full extent of damage and casualties in Kyiv and other impacted areas. Monitor for any significant shifts in Russian ground forces.
  • IO: Anticipate sustained high-intensity Russian IO campaigns to shape global narratives and demoralize Ukrainian society.

• Air Defense & Force Protection:

  1. MAINTAIN HIGHEST AIR DEFENSE READINESS ACROSS ALL OBLASTS, WITH EMPHASIS ON NORTHERN AXIS (SUMY, CHERNIHIV, POLTAVA, KYIV) AND SOUTHERN/EASTERN AXES (ODESA, MYKOLAIV, KRYVYI RIH, DNIPRO, ZAPORIZHZHIA, CHORNOMORSK, ZHYTOMYR, KRYVYI RIH, CHERKASY, KHERSON) AND FRONTLINE AREAS (KHARKIV, DONETSK), AND NEW CENTRAL AXES (CHERKASY, KIROVOHRAD). Anticipate continued Russian aerial attacks, especially with UAVs and Shaheds from multiple axes, including new vectors from the Black Sea (Odesa/Mykolaiv/Chornomorsk) and continued KAB launches. PREPARE FOR INCOMING STRATEGIC MISSILES FROM ACTIVE TU-95MS/TU-160 LAUNCHES, KINZHAL MISSILES FROM MIG-31K, AND BALLISTIC/AEROBALLISTIC THREATS. Prioritize defense of population centers, critical infrastructure (especially energy, DTEK units), and C2 nodes.
  2. ADAPT TO NEW OPERATIONAL GEOMETRY. Ensure AD assets are appropriately positioned for the newly designated "North-Slobozhansky" and "South-Slobozhansky" directions, and new eastern/southern/central UAV/KAB/missile vectors. Prioritize defense of Kyiv and other major cities like Kremenchuk, Cherkasy, and Odesa, and industrial sites like Zaporizhzhia. Be prepared for coordinated, multi-directional missile and UAV attacks on Kyiv to maximize saturation.
  3. PREPARE FOR CLUSTER MUNITION / CHEMICAL ATTACK RESPONSE (IF VERIFIED). Given the confirmed finding of Kh-101 cluster submunitions in Kyiv, immediately implement enhanced protocols for responding to and mitigating the effects of cluster munition strikes on civilian areas. If the chemical-laden Grad report is verified, immediately implement enhanced NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) defense protocols for all frontline units and civilian populations in at-risk areas.
  4. DAMAGE CONTROL AND REPAIR: Immediately assess power grid damage (DTEK units) and coordinate rapid repair efforts in Kyiv and other affected areas. Prioritize securing damaged residential buildings, educational institutions (KPI), and providing shelter for displaced civilians. Reinforce emergency services for large-scale fire response. Ensure support for casualties, including international citizens. Prioritize repair of damaged railway lines and grain wagons to ensure logistical continuity.
  5. ENHANCE EW CAPABILITIES: The high number of Russian targets neutralized by EW indicates its critical role. Continue to invest in and deploy advanced EW systems to counter Russian UAVs and disrupt their C2.

• Ground Forces:

  1. MAINTAIN DISCIPLINED DEFENSIVE POSTURE IN POKROVSK, CHASIV YAR, AND DNIPROPETROVSK DIRECTIONS, AND INTENSIFY DEFENSES AROUND KOSTYANTYNIVKA. Reinforce positions and prepare for continued Russian ground assaults and artillery strikes, with specific focus on countering encirclement attempts on Kostyantynivka.
  2. IMMEDIATE: ALLOCATE RESOURCES AND REINFORCE DEFENSES IN THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED "NORTH-SLOBOZHANSKY" DIRECTION (SUMY OBLAST). Be prepared for increased ground activity and cross-border incursions, potentially leading to a new active front. Monitor potential redeployments of units like Chelebijihan battalion.
  3. CONTINUE FPV DRONE OPERATIONS & COUNTER-BATTERY. Leverage successes in FPV drone attacks against infantry and continue aggressive counter-battery fire against Russian artillery (e.g., D-30 howitzers, 2S1 Gvozdika) and personnel. Follow up on successful strikes, such as the neutralization of the mortar system in Shakhtyorsk direction.
  4. ENSURE PERSONNEL TRACKING AND MOBILIZATION COMPLIANCE. Continue efforts to track military registration compliance to maintain force strength. Address the exposed draft evasion scheme to prevent further abuses and maintain integrity.
  5. CHEMICAL DEFENSE PREPARATION (IF VERIFIED). If chemical weapon use is confirmed, ensure all troops have access to and are trained in the use of personal protective equipment and decontamination procedures.
  6. IMMEDIATE: MONITOR AND COUNTER AMPHIBIOUS THREATS. Maintain high alert for new attempts to land on Kinburn and Tendrovska spits, reinforcing naval and coastal defenses as required.
  7. ADDRESS MORALE ISSUES: Investigate and address any factors contributing to low morale or potential suicides within frontline units, ensuring appropriate psychological support is available. Implement measures to counter harsh disciplinary practices (like "pit" detentions) that undermine morale.
