Update from Ukraine | Fantastic News! Ukraine Pushed Russian Army in South Direction

Hello my friends, I hope you are doing great, let's go straight away to the Frontlines update in the Paris direction where Ukrainian army has the major success.There is the deployment of Ukrainian extra forces.So Ukraine is very serious in the occupation of Kamenske and Stepovo.Well, at least there is the presence of Ukrainian infantry soldiers also in Stepnohirsk.Russia has been pushed already there for the last months and recently Ukraine propelled even further.It's not yet visible on this map, but let me show you more details from this exact region.

They're coming from Unit Observer.My shout out to this channel.It's available out there on Twitter.Well, here we have the map itself.we may click to read out a detailed analysis about this situation.So the map shows that Ukraine regained some of the positions on the way to reach Kamenskoye.

And Russians, well, they have some of the small infiltration attacks in the same region, But Ukraine has the general advantage over the Russian army, because Ukraine sends some of the extra forces.Moreover, you may see multiple of the Ukrainian counterattack vectors in Shcherbaki also.There is the group of Ukrainian army.Now I would say that there is the risk for the Russian 7th Army in this place and the entire Russian group in Kamenskoye.Because if Ukrainian counteroffensive towards Kamenskoye is successful, Ukraine will just cut Russian supplies for entire region from Kamenskoye.from the north of Kamensk.

And Ukraine, as you see, does it in a smart way, so they keep Russian forces busy in Stepanakert, but the main attack is happening actually to cut Russian supplies.And there is the lake and kind of the very small speed, which is easy to hit both with the drones and aviation gliding strikes.Russia, by the way, lost there already hundreds of the soldiers probably.And for entire battle for Kamensk and Stepanakert, Russians lost thousands of the forces.So of course the advantage goes for Ukrainian side and here we have the information about it despite Russian success earlier this year in deeply infiltrating towards the northern areas thosevillages here, Novaya Yakovlevka and Veselyanka, Ukrainian counterattack continued to roll back previous advances.

Ukraine reinforced with 150th Sir to make a nice brigade.from the Kherson direction they were sent there.128th Mountain Brigade is working there against Russians and also counterattacking.One counterattack goes towards Stepanakert.Stepanakert is over there, just to remind you.It was reinforced by HUR forces, so Military Intelligence of Ukraine and there were some of the videos published.

I already shared those previously on my channel.Meanwhile Russia tries to also reinforce their group with 7th Air Assault Division.and alongside with 108th and 247th air assault regiments.Plus for the last couple of months Russia sent the elements of 299th airborne regiment.And those are elite forces of the Russian army, not just random guys with the flags But instead Russia is damn serious about Kamensk and Stepnohirsk.As we see Ukraine also deploys very capable forces from Hur.

So the fight is not that easy in this direction but the stakes are high themselves because Stepnohirsk opens the way to Zaporizhia itself.Here Zaporizhia is actually very close to the front line and before Russians even went to Richne.but now they've been sent to Plovdiv and back to Kamenskoye mainly.They still control the southern area especially this part and Ukraine is using aviation gliding bombs to get rid of the Russian presence in this very interesting block of the houses.So Russia despite deploying those VDV divisions as well as 11th VDV brigade so really capable those are crazy guys who are fighting for the Russian elite forces.I mean they're very capable, but they remain unable to regain significant initiative as the battle for Stepanakert enters its seventh month.

So even those capable paratroopers, marines, whatsoever,what can they do against Ukrainian FPV drones?For Ukrainian drone operator and for the drone itself, of course, it doesn't matter whether it's a paratrooper or regular Vanka soldier.No, it just flies there and hits the guy.But for sure those Russian capable brigades, armies and divisions, they have less losses, because they may understand of how to deal, how to hide, They of course have better equipment, anti -drone wear and something like that.But at the same time they face the same problem as the Russian regular army somewhere in Donetsk direction.

So this map is fantastic.Unit Observer, thank you so much for your deep analysis of the situation which is happening.Fantastic job, mate.

My friends, thank you so much for it, you are the best and now let's continue with the video.And you know what?Russian military channels also confirm the same situation.They show Ukrainian blue arrows there, an advancement towards Plavny, towards Kamenskoe.Yeah, they show less territorial gains compared to other neutral maps or Ukrainian made military maps.but the idea is the same.

Ukraine goes on counterattack, Ukraine now has initiative despite very capable Russian troops.Now I would say that geography itself plays in favor of Ukraine because there is the river and there is the big river of the Dnipro, it goes here.Well after Khovka dam was destroyed by Russians couple of years ago this is not the river any longer but still it's not possible to usethis place for the vehicle advancement or even for infantry forces.Basically all of that is like a swamp with a very soft ground and the river goes over here, Dnipro river itself.Also it's very hard for Russians to send reinforcements to Stepnohirs, to Kamenskoe, because there are just two ways of how to do it, using the bridge itself or using the speed.

So Ukraine basically needs to concentrate drone warfare on two of the points there, two of the spots, and Ukraine may easily cut Russian logistics.The same goes for Pyatihatki, which supplies Stepovo and Maly Shcherbaki.Well, Russians might use some of the secondary roads that go to Stepovo and Maly Shcherbaki, but the terrain is very difficult and they're not serviceable sometimes, especially after the rain.So basically one, two, three points of the main concentration of the Ukrainian drone strikes and it creates supply disaster for Russian army.Guys it's fantastic news.I expected the things to be like that but a little later.

So Ukrainian army is way more successful here than I thought before.Fantastic.And also the fight is ongoing for what?for Malaya Takhmachka.Ukrainian forces are even counterattacking.At the same time, Russians claim that they've established the control over the several buildings of Malaya Takhmachka village, but it's hard to cross -check this information.

No visual evidence is being provided.From what I know, Malaya Takhmachka is under Ukrainian control.However, this direction of Arekhov is probably one of the main priorities for Russia because they cannot hold Their forces in Kamensk and Stepnehir's direction, so they might change the vector of their attacks towards Urykhev and nearby settlements.To bypass this river Konka and to reach Zaporizhia, let's say, from this side.It's like one of the variants for them, but I'm not sure whether there's gonna be any sort of the success for Russian side.especially in the coming couple of years.

They were damn serious about Stepanakert and Kamenskoye but it seems like their operation totally failed here.Yeah by the way guys I forgot to tell you that the truce is over the war continues full -scale.Out there on the front lines well there was a little bit calm down of the situation but it was still boiling we have lots of the videos coming from the front lines showing the actual picture so the truth as it should be it wasn't established really and just long -range strikes were avoided by both of the sides so i expect ukraine maybe to launch strikes this night or maybe the next one well we have the information warning from the channels that the ukrainians should prepare for the possible russian strikes in the coming few days I think so, yes.But Russians also should be prepared, right?Especially their oil facilities.Well, they tried to put some of the grills and anti -drone nets, but it doesn't help against FP1 and FP2 drones, which are quite heavy compared to the standard FPVs and they're not being stopped by those nets, so they just demolish what is out there in Russia, their oil infrastructure, oil ports, logistic centers, etc. I was surprised that Russia even put the drone protection on their coast guard boats like for example this one it is fully covered by nets well it might be the solution against smaller drones but fp2 fp1 especially fp2 it carries more than 100 kilograms of payload for that drone it doesn't matter whether there are nets or no nets those Coast Guard boats receive usually lots of the damage.

And I'm still waiting for the information at least from Ukrainian president about the exchange of Ukrainian prisoners of war on the Russian prisoners of war as it was promised even by Donald Trump who is the part of this guarantee deal thousand on thousand exchange.Well Zelensky said about itit yesterday that Ukraine is ready and we all expect it for exchange to happen in those three days of the ceasefire.But nothing happened.Absolutely zero.And there is the vacuum.

We don't know what is happening.I hope that the deal was agreed and our guys will return home as fast as possible.We also know that there was an attempt of Putin to sabotage the exchange.He said that Ukraine is not ready for it.Very strange.and rumors tell that there should be Azov soldiers after all well guys this is just an unconfirmed information that is what those experts type in the chat but yeah i just don't want to tell the wrong information here especially when it touches relatives of those soldiers who are now in captivity so i hope that there will be exchange i hope that all of the Azov soldiers Azov staff defenders will return back as well but we'll see.

I hope at least for some exchange and let's avoid those speculations because still no like really evident information robust one presented online Yeah, waiting for it.Right here we have some of the images from the front lines.Ukrainian drone found the group of the Russian vehicles, motorcycles and the Russian infantry.Probably they had some of the wedding.So Ukrainian wedding photographers decided to greet them and to take the photo.Yeah, and it was successfully done by our guys there.

I think it happened a few days ago.The job was conducted by the 1st Azov Corps.

All right, now back to the military map and this one is published by Michael73Analysis and his link is in the video description right below.I'm always using his maps, they're very interactive and I see that there are some of the spots where definitely ceasefire was conducted, like for example in Hulaipole, those are old symbols dated from couple of weeks ago.

But if we move to Novopolivka, there Russians actually tried to attack Ukrainian positions and they were stopped by Ukrainian drones.On their maps they showed that they were successful.But the fact, no, they try actually to get Novopolivka for already very long time, for more than a year.and all of their attack attempts they basically fail.

The first one was crazy outrageous they went to Novopavlovka under the cover of the fog and later on weather improved rapidly all of the Russian infantry with the vehicles they were spotted and annihilated.Well Russians expanded recently territorial gains not far away from this gas station near Grishino village.This is their own territorial gains for the area.And Konstantinovka, it is hot.It was boiling even during the ceasefire.

What is interesting that Russians are saying that Ukraine goes on counterattack towards Ivanopilia, which is kind of far away from Konstantinovka itself.

And I wonder if Ukraine conducts that operation just using drones or or there could be even infantry but looking at this direction i don't think that it's it's very risky to use infantry there so yeah again russian map from rebar channel they show Konstantinovka and this gray area it is zoomed in over here Konstantinovka itself and there's where ukrainian counteroffensive is happening exactly the same spot as i showed you before Very interesting.Well, they hesitated to show red arrows because after all it was the ceasefire.Okay, okay, we believe you, yeah, that Russians, they absolutely didn't have any sort of the attempts to move and take Ukrainian positions.

It is unusual, but we know that they tried to get to Novopavlovka and that attack attempt failed.And yeah, just right now while I am filming this video, Russian drones are already spotted in Ukrainian airspace.Here is the map for you, exactly what I see here.The earth rains are being announced in multiple Ukrainianregions and I guess they will also be heard in Russia even today because Ukraine will respond on the Russian strikes.Hey guys, today I've recorded a video about how Russia stalls on the frontlines, how it is not capable to achieve the goals and we have the same information from legacy media already.

This is the article from The Economist, for the first time in almost 3 years the initiative in the war appears to have shifted to Ukraine.

And guys, I'm reviewing the frontlines of the situation around Ukraine for more than 4 years and I see that definitely it's like that for the last 3 years and maybe Well, not three, but two years.I haven't seen such large Ukrainian territorial gains.Mostly Russia had initiative.And even during the Kursk operation, I would say Russia was very successful in Donetsk direction.But here we see that NATO, they lose the ground.which is outstanding.

So Ukraine is now turning tight in inflicting increasing damage on Russia on virtually every front.

So front lines, middle range strikes, long range strikes, exactly what I told you before.So Russian troops suffered their first net territorial losses since August 2024 when Ukraine started the Kursk operation.Russia has lost control over 113 square kilometers in the last 30 days.The drone Killzone, which has now been stretched by 20 kilometers on the front lines, is expanding far into Russia's rear.And we don't see the same expansion from Russia.So Ukraine has more tools, more capabilities, even for 2 ,000 kilometers strikes deep inside Russia.

So Ukraine has an advantage in this drone war.Now we may definitely say that Ukraine already took initiative and tactical advantage over Russia.

And to compensate that, well, how Russia may do it, just announce him about it.maybe.That is what they say, Russian military channels.As you know guys, recently United States has released UFO files, well, our guys also has released those from the drone interceptor.What the hell is this?This is like from some sort of the video game, right?

What is that?It was flying at the altitude of 800 meters.Somewhere over Ukraine.Well, actually it was photographed in May 2025, so the last year, previous year, one year ago.But this video has just been released, very interesting.

What kind of UFO is that?A non -flying object or unidentified flying object, but it was filmed literally by our guys.

And it's not a hoax.Because the image was commented by Ukrainian drone operator.one of the main ones in Ukrainian army Flash and he commented some sort of the flying object yes okay I guess some political news I need to comment those as well so Boris Pistorius who is the defense minister of Germany visited Kyiv yesterday I think he is still in Kyiv and there is rains already in Kyiv maybe he went home already I'm not sure but what is very important that Ukraine signed multiple of the agreements in army cooperation between Germany and Ukraine.

The joint development of drones, drone systems and moreover Germany will finance Ukrainian air defense like for example Patriot missiles, Fantastic.Germany, thank you so much for your kind support.

Yeah, sorry for the advertisements on the screen, but nevertheless.New York Times published the article, yeah, it's the Kyiv News article about the New York Times article, but nevertheless, New York Times says that the peace deal is dead.And Kyiv pulls back from United States' mediation as Trump's peace push stalled.So what happened that the United States cancelled the leverage on Ukraine themselves?Donald Trump did it.

99 % of the military, direct military support for Ukraine has been cancelled and Keith now is relying less on the United States as the key mediator in effort to end Russia's war against Ukraine with Donald Trump's administration no longer viewed by Ukrainian officials as the unquestioned ally as it was just at the start of the full -scale war.

New York Times reported Wow, what a surprise, definitely negotiations with Russia are not possible.

I wouldn't say United States really play the role here, but Donald Trump with his team, their actors which are working for Russians favor in those negotiations.And for Europeans, for Ukrainians, everything is pretty much understandable where the vector or whom Donald Trump really wants to push.He wants to push Ukraine for giving up territories of Donbass.But those are not just territories, yeah?Those are people who live there.Around 100 ,000 people who still live in Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, Drushkivka, all of those settlements kind of close to the frontlines, but they live.

And those are homes of the people.And Ukraine is not in a state in giving voluntarily its own territories.Russia is not encircling Kiev.Ukraine is not losing this war from what we see on the frontlines.Russia actually doesn't have this advantage as Ukraine has, especially speaking about the drones.Russia is unable to reach its frontline initiative even on tactical level.

That's why they're acting via Donald Trump to push Ukraine without any fines to give up territories, that's the real thing for Russia.So actually with this New York Times article, nothing new there.

Alright, this one I don't freaking understand as the aviation guy like Ukraine asks Europe to broker airports' fire with Putin.Shit.Like, it's not about those

airports, like you can open those CTRs, TMA areas around airports, well okay, but what's about your own air defense?Then Russian drones are flying all around Ukrainian territory and who would guarantee that drones will not fly to the airport or who would guarantee that your own missiles would not intercept any sort of the commercial flying vehicle there so I wouldn't go to Ukraine if they open those airports and trusting Russia then that there is the full -scale war come like this is useless they always tell about those airports about renewing the air traffic connections but no I don't believe that it might happen and just to remind you Ukraine lost towns of the Soviet jets because of the friendly fire and at least one f -16 maybe two but I know about the one which was hit and pilot unfortunately died That happened because of miscoordination of the actions.There was the major attack of the Russian drones and missiles towards the western part of Ukraine.F -16 took off to hit those cruise missiles, but it was shut down by Patriot, I think, system.But I'm not sure which system was used, but it was a friendly freaking fire.So no, it will not work.

And now the problem goes with the supplies of the air defense missiles to Ukraine.Even some of the European partners refuse to send those missiles to Ukraine because they're not sure if they have their own missiles from the United States on time.All of that is because of the war in Iran.This is not great, of course, and you see those confrontations, military conflicts and wars around the world.Actors are the same and unfortunately that war that Donald Trump together with Netanyahu started in Iran is not playing great role for the defense of Europe and Ukraine personally.An interesting statement here from the Sweden's supreme commander.

He stated that Russia is getting ready to test NATO alliance sooner than expected.So Russia may test NATO sooner than the one to five year window most alliance security services have been working with.So they almost sure about that possible.kind of the special military operation of the Russian army I guess in Baltic states.Well we understand that Russian army bogged down in Ukraine but whether NATO army is that drone ready for the war of the 21st century as for example Russian army I don't think so, and Russia, after all, may test not with a full -scale war like it is in Ukraine, but they might have some of the, again, small operation.Taking few of the villages is enough to test NATO's reaction.

Well, NATO understands that, that's why it increases its military presence, it rearms itself, but there is the window.until this military superiority is achieved by NATO in that particular region, logistics is placed and everything of that.So now there is the window of NATO, while it's still rearming, before defenses reach their intended strength.So NATO, this commander at least, is saying that NATO is not ready for now.We have this window while we are not ready and Donald Trump is not coming.In the best case scenario he would send some of the weapons.

Best case.But overall Donald Trump is very dissatisfied with NATO, you know it.So Russia cannot defeat NATO militarily.Yes, it's understandable.So the target is alliance cohesion.He warned about potential strike on Baltic island not to seize territory but to test whether every NATO member would respond to attack on one of them.

Spoiler alert, not every NATO member would react on that militarily.It is also understandable.He also stressed that such operation would not require troops fromUkraine.A smaller limited move would be enough to run that test.Yes, exactly what I told you guys.

It is out there on a plate.Like what Russia is telling is actually about those small operations.When he asked directly when Russia might be ready, he answered with one word.Now, he added, they know the entire Western world is getting ready.Why would one wait to exploit perceived vulnerabilities?Asked if it sounds dangerous.

Commander did not soften it.Yes, it is clear that it is dangerous.He stressed that Sweden and its neighbors must continue rearming, training and maintaining readiness.persistently over time.On the Baltic Sea he pointed out to the growing Russian shadow fleet and tightening escorts around those vessels as direct and growing source of escalation risks.Asked whether the situation is worse than in a few years ago, he said yes.

So Russia may escalate, yes, they may say like they may attack some of the Baltic country like Estonia for example or Latvia, Lithuania, doesn't matter.from Belarus territory, even occupy Suvalki corridor with thousands of the forces.And they might say, okay, you want your territory back, NATO?You want de -escalation?Well, stop supporting Ukraine.leave the sanctions from Russia and we're good to go, we're gonna return you your territories and you don't need to engage in World War 3, just let us have Ukraine and those are, you know, ex -Russian territories.

Ukraine was the part of the Russian Empire, Ukraine was the part of the Soviet Union, yeah, so we need Ukraine.And if you try to take, for example, Kaliningrad, as many people say, yeah, Europe will take Kaliningrad in this case.I don't think so.Russia has nukes and no one knows what is in the head of Putin.Yeah, clearly it is understandable that Putin likes his life and everything.But who knows, who knows what that guy thinks.

And he's also getting older as Donald Trump.He's getting more unhinged, unpredicted.So I don't think that European politicians would risk their lives and their stability.Just look at those European politicians.They're just bureaucrats.There is no like vivid leader.

All of the grey crowd of freaking bureaucrats.Their interest is to get elected, get money, some of the corruption schemes as everywhere.By the way, in Ukraine there is corruption scandal, I gonna record a separate video about that one tomorrow.Crazy scandal, one more wave and it's about President's friends, sadly.So honestly guys, if Russia starts that operation, I do not expect like this joint reaction.Yeah, some countries may react.

especially in that region like Finland, Sweden, Baltic countries, maybe Poland, maybe Germany, but it's also under the big question, we'll see.But not fully reacting, yeah, not fully, just with some random forces trying to stop Russians there, but Russians will have time and efforts and resources and drones, most of all, to occupy some of the ground.And they will trade it for stability of Europe, and exchange for cancelling the military support for Ukraine completely.That is, I think, one of the variants of how Putin sees his goal in Ukraine.Because now his army, in those useless mid -wave attacks or infiltration attacks, it bogged down completely.So he needs to look for possible solutions.

Whether to announce mobilization or make this trick.But again, this is kind of risky, yeah, at the same time, because no one had before attacked NATO country.But at the same time, we know that Putin likes движуха, you know, this action, as he tells.Dvizhukha in Ukraine is not happening any longer and new движуха is possible in NATO countries in Europe and you might say NATO is the alliance which has nuclear weapons it's the red line they'll escalate or retaliate with nukes or something like really terrible well Russia also said like that openly but Ukraine actually was the first country in the world which back in 2024 went to Russian territory a territory of nuclear country Kursk Oblast and attacked it.Yeah, still it was, as Russians say, the part of the special military operation.Ukraine has its own inception, the special operation within the special military operation, but Russians, they did not retaliate.

It was the red line for them.Yes, before they stated Ukraine will never attack us, otherwise we're gonna use nukes.Ukraine will never send attackers to us, otherwise we're gonna use nukes.Medvedev told about it, Putin hinted that, but nothing happened.Yeah, so red line is not a red line.So Europe may also proclaim their own red lines, but the fact we will see.

We cannot, like, even predict what it might happen.On the paper, everything should be absolutely great for NATO, it should consolidate forces, react, blah -blah -blah.But we understand the problems with logistics, first of all, into Baltic states, geography problems, everything of that.And we understand those bureaucrats, who are mainly useless, they need time to think.Just imagine if Ukraine was supplied right away with all of those weapons, which later on were supplied.But no, oh Heimers, can we supply?

We shouldn't escalate.They will think exactly the same.I guarantee you guys.If Putin attacks Baltic states, it's gonna be a very big challenge for Europe, for NATO, and I'm not sure whether this challenge is gonna play well for this military bloc.Honestly, we might see that NATOis kind of useless as the United Nations for example.

But maybe not.Maybe I'm wrong and maybe NATO would respond with every forces they have.But something tells me that It's not gonna be like that.We'll see, we'll see.I hope that Putin will not attack NATO, but unfortunately it's not up to NATO to decide.NATO could be just ready for it, but they require lots of the years to be prepared, as commanders say, so they are now unprepared.

Yeah, so Putin has this window.Exactly.Those are not my words, guys.These guys say that this is the problem.well guys anyways let's be optimistic at least in Ukraine Russia lost its advantage it is visible it is outstanding and thank you guys for supporting Ukraine supporting democracy and also you may support this channel by the way you may do it by checking the link and join my patreon yeah I tell it like that and also you may join YouTube membership by pressing button join if you watch me on YouTube and obviously if you can i'm not begging for funds or something no just it's the help for the channel without your support my job wouldn't be possible as you see i upload quite often here and it's only because of your kind support my friends and also please don't forget to press like to this video and subscribe for the channel because we are on the way to reach 1 million subscribers that's going to be a huge milestone for the channel for our entire community my friends You are awesome.You are the best.
