Kharkiv, 35km from the border, 1.4 million inhabitants, 2th city of Ukraine, under Russian Iskander strikes, BM21 Uragan destroyed.

Okhtyrka, 40km from the border, 50 000 inhabitants, old artillery under Iskander strike.

South of Kharkiv, S300 destroyed by missile strike under drone eye. 55km from the border.
What is air-defense doing ? Why does this drone could enter 55km into Ukrainien territory ?
FAB 500 strikes on 93rd mecanized brigade training camp in Tchouhouiv (Kharkiv oblast), 50km from the border.
Where is air-defense ?
North of Zaporizhia city, NASAMS air-defense destroyed by Russian missile, 55km from the frontline.
What is air-defense doing ?
Odessa, 80km from the front, 1 million of inhabitants, 3rd city of Ukraine, S300 destroyed.
Where is air-defense ?
Power stations, radars, air defense, tanks, anmunition depos, power plants... Every military and critical civilian facility close to the front (~60km) can now be reached by Russian glide bombing.
Drones can freely fly over Ukrainian airspace...
This is not only a Ukrainien problem since Russia couldn't avoid Ukrainian drone stikes, however, Ukraine doesn't have thousands of missiles and guided FABs in reserve Russia has.
This is actually worrying for Ukrainin armed forces.
Indeed, as the battle for Tchasiv Yar is slowly beggining, FAB 500 are litteraly destroying the western edge of the city.
In the city, Russian armed forces have reached the last Ukrainian defenses before their main defensive line, the Bakhmout canal. On this canal, there are a few bridges which will be crucial to hold and destroy when they will retreat.
Every frontline village can now be striked by FABs 500/1500 which are destroying many positions and killing soldiers.
Example here, Rivnopil, a village liberated last summer by Ukraine.
The new strategy of Russia is simple :
1- FAB 500 strikes 2- Lancet strikes angainst Ukrainian mecanized reinforcement 3- Mecanized "meat assault" to take a position.
For Ukraine and its western partners, it will be crucial to find means to destroy Russian air assets, in particular Su-34, drones and missiles.
In the coming months, Russia will be able to destroy the city of Kherson if they want, since it is located on the front...
A quoi ressemble la guerre en Ukraine en 2025, avec des photos et des vidéos ?
Sur cette vidéo, 4 drones russes 🇷🇺 frappent en 1 minute un blindé ukrainien 🇺🇦 abandonné, deux n'explosent pas.

J'ai compilé pour vous une vingtaine de vidéos et de photos, les moins sales (la plupart sont absolument horrible, avec des soldats qui agonisent) pour montrer une réalité de la guerre qu'on ne montre plus.
Ici, les drones russes qui attendent leur cible sur le côté de la route.
Un combat constant contre les drones kamikazes FPV.
Sur la vidéo, ce soldat ukrainien se bat contre plusieurs drones kamikazes russes, en détruisant plusieurs. La priorité désormais, regarder vers le ciel.
Alors que se tient le 12ème sommet de l'organisation des Etats Turciques 🇹🇷 en Azerbaïdjan, les pays centrasiatiques prouvent une fois de plus leur éloignement avec la Russie.

Depuis 2022, l’Asie centrale amorce un tournant géopolitique majeur.
Longtemps dans le giron russe, la région s’émancipe progressivement de Moscou. Cet éloignement n’est ni brutal ni uniforme, mais il est désormais irréversible.
La guerre en Ukraine a agi comme un catalyseur.
Pour les dirigeants centrasiatiques de l'ex URSS, la Russie n’est plus un garant de stabilité, mais un facteur d’incertitude.
Dès lors, la priorité devient l’autonomie stratégique et la diversification des partenariats.
*123 000 russian 🇷🇺 soldiers got killed in 2025 in Ukraine 🇺🇦, more than the french 🇫🇷 ground forces.
In total, 281 550 russian soldiers were lost in 2025 as per leaked report. It includes 123 000 killed and missing and 158 529 wounded.

These leaked documents were initially shared by this account @hochuzhit_com which provided these two pictures.
*I don't know about the source which seems controversial but the data seems veracious since it is close to other data collected by Mediazona, the Ukrainian General Staff and independent analysts.
There is high possibility this can be a propaganda operation, but the data can still be used.
The document is giving few interesting insights on the state of russian forces. With 83 000 killed, it's close to the Mediazona count (54 000 in August with verified data).
It is also giving data on particular units and different sectors.
Depuis que je cartographie les frappes aériennes russes, j'ai pu en localiser environ 65% (principalement à Pokrovsk, Soumy et Pokrovsk'e).
Le reste non cartographié est probablement à Kherson, Zaporizhia, Kramatorsk, Koupiansk ou Kharkiv.
Hier, j'ai publié cette carte des plus de 6 000 frappes aériennes russes entre Pokrovsk et Kostiantynivka sur les 5 derniers mois, avec différents codes couleurs.
Since few weeks, russian forces started again to push for Drujkivka, while hundreds of russians are still isolated.
I mapped all airstrikes there and at the same time, Ukraine 🇺🇦 is preparing the 3rd Donbass line🧑🔧.

Since two months, there have been a massive split between analysts. Pro-ukrainian or pro-russian sources are divided to understand how much km2 fell this month to Russia.
Many fail to understand the new logics of war.
For example :
-Some will map an area as russian because a ukrainian drone striked russian soldiers there or a russian was seen with a flag.
-Some will map a large grey zone
I would myself map the grey zone for one main reason :
