Frontline situation
Ukrainian troops pushed 10-12 km forward in two separate offensives in the Dnipropetrovsk region. More than 400 square kilometers of territory have been liberated there since late January 2026, according to ISW.
On March 11, Ukraine's forces hit a key radar of Russia's anti-aircraft missile regiment in temporarily occupied Sevastopol near Cape Fiolent. It is an element of the peninsula's air defense.
Meanwhile, Russian forces have been striking Ukraine's oil transport infrastructure in the south for two days in a row. The enemy aims to disrupt supplies of non-Russian oil to Europe.
