The intensity of the battlefield in the Russia-Ukraine conflict is increasing
From the night of March 7th to the early morning of March 8th, Russia launched a large-scale joint strike, using 29 missiles and about 480 drones, mainly attacking military, energy, and railway facilities in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Dnipro, and Sumy regions.
From the night of March 8th to the early morning of March 9th, the Russian forces again used "Geranium" drones and high-precision missiles to attack multiple areas in Ukraine, focusing on railway hubs in the eastern and central parts of Ukraine.
In Donetsk, the Russian forces continued their offensive, advancing towards Kostiantynivka and Druzhkivka, creating conditions for the summer offensive on Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. The northern part of Kharkiv region is in a positional war, with Ukrainian forces making some advances in the Kupiansk direction.
Russia has resumed large-scale attacks on infrastructure, using stockpiled ballistic missiles, aiming to paralyze the Ukrainian military's logistics before the spring flood, with a focus on destroying railway hubs.
The Russian command has transferred elite forces such as airborne troops and marines from the east to the Zaporozhye and south of Dnipro regions, to contain the recent Ukrainian offensive. The Ukrainian side attempts to attract international media attention, but it is becoming more difficult.
In late winter, Russia temporarily halted destructive strikes on the energy system; now that the weather is warming up and the humanitarian risk is reduced, Russia has resumed this tactic, which will lead to the continuous collapse of Ukrainian infrastructure in the long term.
