Frontline situation
Ukrainian forces keep destroying Russian means to wage the war. For example, Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck PRV-16 and P-18 radar stations, as well as Russian warehouses and deployment sites in the temporarily occupied Donetsk region.
Moreover, Ukraine's Defense Minister says Ukraine has learned to shoot down 90% of enemy drones and nearly 80% of cruise missiles.
According to a new report from ISW, while the three-day ceasefire was in effect, Russians used the lull to covertly redeploy troops and launch massive attacks with new types of drones.
