Frontline situation
According to analysts from the Institute for the Study of War, Ukrainian forces have initiated an offensive in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia border region. Specifically, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have continued offensive operations in the western part of the Zaporizhzhia region and confirmed recent territorial gains near Robotyne.
Meanwhile, Russian terrorists are reportedly strengthening their anti-aircraft defenses over the Central Federal District of Russia, possibly in response to Ukraine's intentions to conduct a winter campaign to intercept supply routes in rear areas.
