1. SITUATION OVERVIEW (Current Operational Picture)

1.1. Battlefield Geometry and Key Terrain

• Donetsk Axis (Myrnohrad): CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT. RF sources (Colonelcassad, TS 251815Z) are claiming a "powerful FAB-3000 arrival" on a Temporary Deployment Point (PVD) of the UAF 38th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade (obrmp) in Myrnohrad. This kinetic strike, if confirmed, validates the previous assessment that RF intended to target Myrnohrad (TS 251756Z claims of "storming"). JUDGEMENT: This strike is a high-confidence indicator that Myrnohrad, a critical logistical hub on the H20 highway to Pokrovsk, is now under direct, heavy RF kinetic targeting, confirming its importance to the RF interdiction campaign.
• Kharkiv Axis (Kupyansk/Kurylivka): FACT: RF sources (Voenkory, TS 251830Z) claim the capture and flag raising over Kurylivka (Kupyansk sector, left bank of Oskil River). JUDGEMENT: This is assessed as a localized, propagandistic gain designed to offset the confirmed UAF gain at Sukhetske. While strategically minor, it indicates continued RF offensive pressure in the northeast.
• Deep Strike Trajectories: FACT: RF UAV activity is confirmed on the northern axis (Chernihiv region, course West, TS 251805Z) and in the central sector (Sumy region, course Poltava, TS 251821Z). JUDGEMENT: This confirms the continuation of the RF CNI pressure, utilizing UAVs for attrition and probing deep AD coverage.

1.2. Weather and Environmental Factors Affecting Operations

No significant change from the previous report. Ground conditions generally favor dismounted and drone operations.

1.3. Current Force Dispositions and Control Measures

• RF (Red Force): RF forces are demonstrating synchronization between deep-strike (FAB-3000 strike claim on Myrnohrad) and information operations (Myrnohrad storming claim, Kupyansk gain claim). RF is focusing on hardening control over occupied territories through social initiatives (Spartakiad for wounded servicemen in DNR, TS 251807Z).
• UAF (Blue Force): UAF forces continue localized tactical engagements (Talion Battalion near Chasiv Yar, TS 251821Z) and demonstrate effective resupply mechanisms (140th ORB receiving gear in Kherson region, TS 251818Z). NOTE: UAF internal crowdfunding appeals for FPV drones persist (TS 251807Z, 251831Z), highlighting critical resource dependency on volunteer efforts.

2. ENEMY ANALYSIS (Threat Assessment)

2.1. Enemy Capabilities, Intentions, and Courses of Action

(CAPABILITIES):

• Heavy Strike Munitions (HIGH): The alleged use of a FAB-3000 Gliding Bomb on Myrnohrad (TS 251815Z) demonstrates RF capability to strike hardened targets deep behind the Pokrovsk line with extremely destructive munitions.
• Aviation Readiness (HIGH): Monitoring sources warn of potential mass missile strike preparation, citing active voice communication on strategic aviation combat frequency (Tu-95MS/160, TS 251821Z).

(INTENTIONS):

1. Isolation and Decapitation: Target critical UAF logistics/C2 nodes in Myrnohrad to isolate the Pokrovsk salient further, leveraging heavy munitions (FAB-3000).
2. Strategic Fixation: Execute a mass missile strike within the next 24 hours to maximize damage to the already degraded CNI and fix UAF AD assets away from the tactical front (Pokrovsk).
3. IO Diversion: Use localized gains (Kurylivka) and social messaging (veteran support) to maintain a narrative of overall operational success and societal control.

2.2. Recent Tactical Changes or Adaptations

The direct targeting of Myrnohrad (TS 251815Z) confirms that RF kinetic focus has shifted from solely interdicting the Konstantinovka-Pokrovsk road to neutralizing the key urban hub supporting the Pokrovsk defense. This requires a higher investment of long-range precision assets (FAB-3000).

2.3. Logistics and Sustainment Status

RF continues to exhibit internal focus on sustaining morale and infrastructure in occupied regions (DNR Spartakiad, TS 251807Z). However, external economic pressure is building, with reports (via Trump, TS 251831Z) of China reducing and India eliminating Russian oil purchases, which will ultimately reduce RF war revenue and sustainment capability in the mid-to-long term.

2.4. Command and Control Effectiveness

RF C2 remains effective in coordinating strategic aviation readiness (Tu-95/160 activity, TS 251821Z) with kinetic action on the front.

3. FRIENDLY FORCES (Blue Force Tracking)

3.1. Ukrainian Force Posture and Readiness

UAF maintains active drone units (101st Brigade in Chasiv Yar, TS 251821Z) and continues effective local tactical interdiction/combat. The confirmation of the UAF 38th obrmp presence in Myrnohrad (TS 251815Z) indicates UAF forces are utilizing the town as a logistics/deployment node, validating the RF target choice.

3.2. Recent Tactical Successes or Setbacks

Successes (HIGH Confidence):

1. Confirmed destruction of RF personnel/equipment by the UAF Talion Battalion in the Chasiv Yar area (TS 251821Z).
2. Continued successful logistics sustainment for forward units (140th ORB, Kherson, TS 251818Z), demonstrating resilience despite RF interdiction efforts.

Setbacks (MEDIUM Confidence - Awaiting Confirmation):

1. If the FAB-3000 strike on the 38th obrmp PVD in Myrnohrad is confirmed, this represents a severe setback, resulting in significant casualties and degradation of a key operational hub.

3.3. Resource Requirements and Constraints

The high volume of crowdfunding appeals for FPV drones (TS 251807Z, 251831Z) indicates a persistent resource constraint on critical tactical assets, despite their proven effectiveness.

4. INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT (Cognitive Domain)

4.1. Propaganda and Disinformation Campaigns

• Strategic Distraction (HIGH CONFIDENCE): RF channels are amplifying US domestic political narratives (CIA spying claims, TS 251809Z; Trump/Putin meeting potential, TS 251832Z) to sow doubt regarding the reliability and coherence of U.S. support and governance.
• Denial and Deception (HIGH CONFIDENCE): RF officials are publicly denying strikes on civilian targets (e.g., Kharkiv kindergarten, TS 251818Z), attempting to mitigate international condemnation of the CNI campaign.
• Internal RF Focus (SOCIAL COHESION): RF media is promoting social programs for wounded veterans (DNR Spartakiad, TS 251807Z) and cultural events (Orthodox art exhibit, TS 251821Z) to project an image of a functional, caring state prioritizing its people and values.

4.2. Public Sentiment and Morale Factors

UAF morale remains generally stable, driven by crowdfunding solidarity (TS 251807Z). However, the psychological effect of potential FAB-3000 strikes (Myrnohrad) and the predicted mass missile strike (TS 251821Z) poses a significant risk to civilian and troop morale.

4.3. International Support and Diplomatic Developments

CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT: Former President Trump's statements regarding China reducing and India halting Russian oil purchases (TS 251831Z) is a severe threat to RF economic stability and should be exploited in UAF IO.

5. PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS (Future Operations)

5.1. Most Likely Enemy Courses of Action (MLCOA)

MLCOA 1 (Mass CNI Strike Preceding Ground Action - SHIFTED PRIORITY): (CONFIDENCE: HIGH) RF will execute a coordinated mass missile strike (Tu-95MS/160, confirmed activity, TS 251821Z) within the next 24-36 hours. This strike will target strategic CNI nodes and attempt to fix UAF AD. This will precede the synchronized mechanized counter-attack at Sukhetske and intensified interdiction (Myrnohrad strikes).

MLCOA 2 (Intensified Myrnohrad Interdiction): (CONFIDENCE: HIGH) RF will prioritize the kinetic destruction of confirmed UAF PVDs and logistics facilities in Myrnohrad using heavy guided munitions (FAB series, long-range artillery) to functionally isolate the Pokrovsk sector from the South.

5.2. Most Dangerous Enemy Courses of Action (MDCOA)

MDCOA 1 (Operational Breach and Exploitation - UNCHANGED): (CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM) RF achieves a decisive penetration of the Pokrovsk line. The success of the concurrent mass missile strike (MLCOA 1) and the Myrnohrad interdiction (MLCOA 2) delays UAF command response and reinforcement, allowing RF to commit maneuver elements to exploit the breach.

5.3. Timeline Estimates and Decision Points

• T+0 to T+24 Hours (Strategic/AD): Decision Point: UAF High Command must determine the probability and likely timing of the confirmed strategic aviation activity (TS 251821Z). AD assets should be placed on immediate high alert, particularly around Kyiv, Dnipro, and major CNI facilities, anticipating a mass launch.
• T+0 to T+4 Hours (Tactical/Myrnohrad): Decision Point: UAF must confirm the impact and casualties from the alleged FAB-3000 strike (TS 251815Z). If confirmed, UAF forces must immediately relocate all PVDs and C2 nodes outside of Myrnohrad and designate the town as an immediate no-go zone for non-essential logistics traffic.

ACTIONABLE RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Immediate Myrnohrad De-Confliction (J3-LOGISTICS/J3-GROUND):

   • Recommendation: Based on the high-confidence kinetic targeting of Myrnohrad, immediately cease utilizing the town as a Forward Operating Base (FOB) or PVD for heavy units.
   • Action: Disperse and relocate all remaining UAF units, C2, and high-value logistics caches (fuel, ammunition) outside the confirmed high-risk targeting zone of Myrnohrad. Establish hardened, dispersed PVDs West of the H20 highway.

2. Activate Strategic AD Defense Posture (J3-AIR):

   • Recommendation: Given the confirmed threat of strategic bomber activation (MLCOA 1), immediately activate the highest state of alert for national AD systems and pre-position mobile AD systems (e.g., NASAMS, Gepard) to defend critical CNI nodes in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv.
   • Action: Increase ISR coverage over strategic airspace and prepare interceptor units for mass launch response.

3. Exploit RF Economic Vulnerability (STRATCOM/J7):

   • Recommendation: Aggressively utilize the confirmed news that major global partners (India, China) are reducing/halting Russian oil purchases (TS 251831Z).
   • Action: Launch a global IO campaign highlighting the economic failure of the war, reinforcing the narrative that RF revenue sources are collapsing, which will impact soldier pay and logistical resupply. Target RF domestic audiences with this information to degrade troop confidence in long-term support.
