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.

From Poland 🇵🇱 to Moldova 🇲🇩 stretches the longest Ukrainian 🇺🇦 defensive line, 2 800 km !
The biggest fortification system is in the east, in Donbass, but we can also find massive fortifications near Belarus, Kharkiv, or Odessa.
Let's analyse what is new :
🧵THREAD🧵1/25 ⬇️
Since 2014, ukrainian forces have been fortifying the frontline, primarly with trenches, dugouts and bunkers.
In 2022, 2023 and 2024, they also added new defensive lines everywhere, with anti-tank ditches and open-air trenches, which are now obsolete. 2025 saw a new program :
Previous trenches and fortifications were obsolete, no dugouts, no firing positions, no cover against drones and too large for small infantry teams.
Thus, since the first months of 2025, we have seen a new strategy of trench and fortification building.
-Around 36 airstrikes just behind Kramatorsk
-Work ongoing for the prolongment of "New Donbass Line" to Sumy oblast
-Trench work : on the 1st line of New Donbass line (2nd and 3rd ditch) + parallel ditch.
-Airstrikes, old and new ditch
En Hongrie 🇭🇺, le pion de Moscou 🇷🇺 dans la tourmente
En pleine crise diplomatique avec Kyiv 🇺🇦 et Varsovie 🇵🇱, Orban fait aussi face à une importante défiance interne, menée par Peter Magyar
La Hongrie, entre affaires de corruption, noyautage et répression

J'ai passé 6 mois en Erasmus 🇪🇺 en Hongrie. De manière générale, j'ai été frappé par ce côté très revanchard de la population hongroise envers le traité de Trianon il y a plus de 100 ans.
A part à Budapest, seule ville plus progressiste, et encore, la gauche n'existe presque pas
La droite et l'extrême droite forment environ 70% du paysage politique hongrois.
Le leader actuel est Viktor Orban, réélu premier ministre depuis 2010, son principal opposant est un ancien allié, Péter Magyar.
Comme ce tweet fait réagir, je vous propose un retour historique, contextuel, et actuel sur la situation de l'Arménie.
Seule, isolée et oubliée, l'Arménie a les cartes en mains pour son futur, si elle choisit la paix.

D'abord, l'aspect géographique :
🇦🇲Arménie : 29 743 km², 2,97 millions d'habitants, PIB de 24 milliards USD.
🇦🇿Azerbaïdjan : 86 600 km², 10.11 millions d'habitants, PIB de 72,36 milliards USD.
🇬🇪Géorgie : 69 700 km², 3,91 millions, PIB de 35,35 milliards USD.
L'Arménie est le plus petit, le moins peuplé et le plus pauvre des 3 Etats du Caucase, sans accès à la mer, sans ressources naturelles.
L'Azerbaïdjan est 3 fois plus grand, 3.4 fois plus peuplé et 3 fois plus riche que l'Arménie, qui ne dépasse que pour le PIB par habitants.
