As diplomatic talks in Istanbul remain in their preliminary stages, the intensity of military operations on the frontlines shows no signs of abating. Both Russian and Ukrainian forces have escalated aerial and ground engagements, underscoring the fragile nature of the current ceasefire negotiations.
Russian air defense systems reported intercepting and destroying 65 Ukrainian UAVs overnight, with the majority—43 drones—neutralized over the Black Sea and another 21 over Crimea. A single drone was downed in the Belgorod region.
Crimea faced concentrated attacks, with Ukrainian drones reportedly striking an ammunition depot in Perevalnoye, leading to road closures and heightened security measures.
In their turn, Russian forces reportedly launched 112 strike drones, primarily of the “Geran” type, targeting Ukrainian infrastructure, including in Kyiv and Odesa. Ukrainian defenses struggled to repel the onslaught, losing another F-16 fighter jet in the process. The pilot ejected safely, but the incident highlights the growing strain on Ukraine’s air capabilities.
On the frontlines, Ukrainian forces renewed attempts to breach Russian defenses in the Kursk region, deploying infantry, mobile units, and even boats to cross the Seym River. Russian troops repelled multiple incursions, destroying armored vehicles and thwarting sabotage groups disguised in Russian uniforms. However, Ukrainian rocket attacks inflicted damage on civilian infrastructure, including a hospital and a church in Tetkino, further escalating tensions.
The Russian offensive continued on Donbass frontlines, with the liberation of Volnoye Pole in the south and sustained pressure on key strongholds like Konstantinovka in the north. Russian victory in Torske near Krasny Liman further weakened Ukrainian positions, with reports indicating severe manpower shortages in defending Ukrainian units. Russian forces, meanwhile, consolidated gains near Pokrovsk, threatening to envelop Ukrainian defenses along the Kazenny Torets River. Western analysts noted a cascading collapse of Ukrainian defenses in several directions, attributing Russian gains to relentless airstrikes and artillery barrages.
The juxtaposition of ongoing negotiations and escalating combat operations underscores the precarious nature of the conflict. While diplomats are trying to engage in dialogue, the battlefield realities suggest neither side is willing to cede ground without a fight. The coming days will reveal whether the talks in Istanbul can yield tangible de-escalation or if the war will continue to overshadow diplomatic efforts.
