Frontline situation
On March 16 and during the night of March 17, the Defense Forces carried out strikes on military targets of Russian forces. Among other targets, a TOR-M2U surface-to-air missile system was hit in the Bryansk region, as well as a drone training center in the area of Henicheska Hirka.
Russia keeps allocating resources to increase drone production. The Kremlin's overall goal is to launch 1,000 drone strikes against Ukraine per day.
Besides, Moscow rejects any possibility of negotiations to end the war in Ukraine unless they meet all of Moscow's demands, even in the event of territorial concessions.
