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.

Un drone FPV ukrainien 🇺🇦 du 1er corps Azov a survolé le stade du Shakhtar Donetsk.
A plus de 55km de la ligne de front, la ville de Donetsk n'est plus à l'abris des drones. En parallèle, l'armée ukrainienne intensifie ses frappes dans les territoires occupés.
🧵THREAD🧵1/12 ⬇️
Publiée par le 1er corps d'Azov, cette vidéo montre les drones FPV ukrainiens volant librement au dessus du cœur de la ville de Donetsk, plus grande ville ukrainienne occupée par l'armée russe.
Les drones visent également de nombreux camions de logistique de l'armée russe.
En parallèle, l'armée ukrainienne multiplie les frappes à moyenne portée, principalement avec des drones FP-1 et FP-2.
Des dizaines de frappes ont lieu chaque jours et mettent à mal l'armée russe dans la profondeur.
3 years ago from today started the Sudan 🇸🇩 war between the Rapid Support Forces militia led by Hemedti and the Sudanese Armed Forces led by Al Burhan
This war is one of the biggest and deadliest forgotten conflict (~400k dead). Here is what you need to know :
🧵THREAD🧵1/16 ⬇️
What are the causes of the Sudan war ?
🔹Long islamist dictatorship that ended in 2019 led by Omar Al Bechir
🔹Independance of South Sudan in 2011 (long war before, less oil revenue since then)
🔹War in Darfur and Kordofan since 2003 (rise of Janjawid militias, today RSF) between Khartoum and non-arab ethnicities
🔹Rivalry between SAF and RSF for power, they took power in 2021 avec 3 years of civilian/military transition
🔹Ethnic rivalry between Nile Arabs, Darfur Arabs and Sudanese Africans people
🔹Oil, gold, water and agricultural control rivalry
🔹Foreign interference from UAE, Chad, Turkiye, Ethiopie, Egypt, Libya, South Sudan, Russia...
The war started on april 15th 2023, when the Rapid Support Forces led by general Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo (back then n°2 of the military junta) tryied to take the power after the Army leader, Abdel Fattah Al Burhan (n°1 of the military junta) asked for the control of RSF by SAF.
Avec "seulement" 53% des votes, Magyar emporte 70% (!) des sièges à l'Assemblée hongroise 🇭🇺.
C'est dire à quel point les réformes électorales d'Orban se sont retournées contre lui.
Les 199 députés sont anti-immigration, nationalistes et de droite, chose à garder à l'esprit. ⬇️
Ce que beaucoup refusent de comprendre, c'est que Magyar n'est pas une rupture par rapport à Orban. On passe juste d'un candidat national-souverainiste à un candidat national-libéral/pro-européen.
Magyar était pendant 22 ans au Fidesz, qu'il n'a quitté qu'en 2024 !
Ces élections montrent que la priorité absolue est le pouvoir d'achat (la dévaluation continue du Forint, et la stagnation économique comparément aux voisins est un mauvais signal).
Pour autant, la question européenne reste centrale, surtout chez les jeunes.
The USA 🇺🇸 announced yesterday that it would impose a blockade on Iran 🇮🇷, thus reinforcing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz
The Strait's importance is global, and some key figures are often forgotten when considering the consequences on global economy :
🧵THREAD🧵1/8⬇️
25% of the oil exportations are going through Hormuz.
-80% of those are going to Asia (mainly China, India, South Korea and Japan)
-Saudi Arabia (1st), Iraq (3rd), UAE (5th), Kuwait (7th) are highly dependant on the strait
25% of the gas exportations are going through Hormuz
-Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iran are exporting gas, which is going through Hormuz. Qatar is the 3rd world exporter.
Peter Magyar peut-il battre Viktor Orban à la tête de la Hongrie 🇭🇺 depuis 16 ans ?
Avec une participation déjà record de 74.23 % à 17h, le scrutin apparait fortement indécis. Les résultats arriveront entre 19h et minuit.
Suivez les avec moi en direct ici :
🧵THREAD🧵1/X⬇️
Le système électoral hongrois est composé de 199 députés, dont 93 élus à la proportionnelle (favorable à Magyar et au Tisza).
Les 106 autres sièges sont élus dans les circonscriptions locales, redécoupées en faveur d'Orban.
2/X
En 2022, Le Fidesz d'Orban l'avait largement emporté dans la grande majorité des circonscriptions du pays, à part à Budapest, Pecs, Szeged et dans les élections proportionnelles.
Zelensky is right on this one, Ukraine 🇺🇦 has no interest in giving away the remaining part of Donbas
This area is the most fortified of Ukraine, there are some of the last big cities, 200 000 inhabitants and losing it would open the path for Kharkiv or Dnipro.
