Ukraine🇺🇦 facing difficulties on the frontline is digging huge fortifications across Donbass and Zaporijia oblasts.
I already talked about the "Donbass line" facing the Surovikin system. There is now a Syrsky line similar to Russian🇷🇺one.

This is Avdiivka map, my own work with the help of "playfra" on discord.
After the Ukrainian defenses west of Avdiivka collapsed, the Russian army is now facing the first line of defense.
This line is not optimal for defense but it is still good since there are lakes and water bodies supporting it.
I think the Russian army is going to take Orlivka and it will advance in the hole of the defensive line west of it.
Since the end of december, the Ukrainian army has been impoving its defensive lines. The secondth one is the best one, helped with lakes and a river. The approch to Niu York, Oukrainsk and Selydove won't be easy.
(defenses being improved everyday)
I won't talk much about Bakhmout since i havn't updated the map. You can undestrand that the village of Ivanivske was well defended, but the main line is on the canal in front of Tchasiv Yar.
This is the news of the day: the Ukrainian army is building a big line all along Zaporijia oblast, with anti-tank ditches and trenches just as Russian did a few kilometers south.
I can't share satellite pictures for now, but you have to understand it is really impresive.
Finally, after Russian advance in Novomykhailivka, the Ukrainian armed forces began to dig new defenses east and south of Kourakhove, including this big anti-tank ditch.
This is how it looks like ⬇️
And to conclude, a vision of the entire frontline.
This is my first work about it.

En #Somalie 🇸🇴, une guerre civile oubliée continue, entre le groupe terroriste Al Shabab 🏴, l'armée Somalienne et plusieurs régions séparatistes, Somaliland, Puntland et Jubaland.
Plusieurs puissances extérieures sont impliquées dans une guerre sans fin 🇺🇸🇹🇷🇦🇪

En mars 1978, la défaite somalienne lors de la guerre de l'Ogaden contre l'Ethiopie (tentative d'annexer la région ethiopienne de Somali à l'est du pays) fait baisser la popularité du président Barre, un coup d'Etat échoue.
-> Une guerre civile entre rebelles et gouvernement
Durant cette violente guerre civile, les rebelles progressèrent vers une unification, jusqu'à contrôler la majorité du pays, alors même que la région du Somaliland déclarait son indépendance après une sanglante guerre civile de 1981 à 1991.
As we we enter the second part of the 4th year of full scale war in Ukraine, let's analyse what happened for the last 6 months, from the end of Kursk to the progress in Donbass region.
What will happen until 2026 ?

As in 2024, Russian summer offensive is gaining momentum.
1,832 km2 were captured, the majority of which was in the south of Donetsk Oblast.
These figures do not include the more than 400 km2 of Russian territory liberated in Kursk by March 2025.
Diplomatic effort :
The arrival of Donald Trump in office in late january did not change anything to the war situation.
Putin is still not willing to negociate a peaceful end of the war and the American and European pressure did not change anything.
L'accord du Zangezur🇦🇲🇦🇿🇹🇷 signé, Moscou🇷🇺 écarté ?
Dans le Caucase du Sud, l'Arménie, l'Azerbaïdjan et la Turquie se seraient mis d'accord sur l'ouverture d'un corridor économique entre Turquie et Asie Centrale.
Moscou 🇷🇺 a été écarté du processus.

Un moment historique. A Istanbul, le premier ministre Arménien Nikol Pashinian a rendu visite à Recep Tayyip Erdogan, président Turc pour la première fois de l'histoire il y a deux semaines.
Depuis la révolution de velours de 2018, conduisant à l'arrivée au pouvoir de Nikol Pashinian, celui-ci n'a eu de cesse de proposer une nouvelle vision pour l'Arménie, s'éloignant notamment de la Russie.
L'échec de la construction des fortifications et tranchées ukrainiennes 🇺🇦
Trop grandes, sans positions de tirs, sans camouflage ni cachette, les tranchées ukrainiennes de 2014-2024 sont toutes obsolètes aujourd'hui.
Une nouvelle ligne de défense les remplace
🧵THREAD🧵1/20 ⬇️
En 2024, l'armée ukrainienne a construit d'immenses fortifications défensives sur toute la ligne de front pour ralentir l'armée russe.
Pourtant, ces défenses présentent des vulnérabilités majeurs et étaient déjà à l'époque obsolètes.
Sur mes cartes des fortifications, vous pouvez observer ces immenses réseaux de tranchées au milieu des champs, de parfois 300, 400, voire même plus, jusqu'à 800 mètres de long.
In the Sahara desert in Northern Sudan 🇸🇩, the Rapid Support Forces united with Haftar alignated forces of Libya 🇱🇾 in a joint offensive.
Fightings also continue to rage in the Kordofan region, especially in Babanusa, El Obeid and Dilling.

It is a new escalation of the war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support forces in Sudan.
One month ago, SAF troops managed to cut the RSF Darfur base from the Libyan border, but all this progress has been overthrown.
The RSF is a pro United Arab Emirates militia fighting for the power in Sudan.
The UAE are sending drones, munitions and money to the militiamen through 3 main countries, that are also supporting the RSF, the LNA (eastern and southern Libya), Chad and South Sudan.
In #Iran 🇮🇷, #Israel 🇮🇱 achieves full air superiority
While the war between Iran and Israel has only been going on for a few days, the Israeli Air Force enjoys complete air superiority over Iran, which is struggling to retaliate.
Will the USA 🇺🇸 step in ?

For years, Tehran has been sowing terror across the Middle East.
The axis of resistance to Israel, the only one opposing the increasingly powerful Hebrew state, is Hamas in Palestine, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Assad's Syria, Shiite militias in Iraq, and the Houthis in Yemen.
Tehran was supplying this axis with missiles and drones for its wars against Israël and the arabic kingdoms (United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia mainly).
However, Tehran lacked one thing, air force and air defense.
