Welcome to "Frontline Updates". I’m your host. Overnight, Russian forces launched high-precision air- and sea-based strikes against Ukraine’s defense-industrial sites and military airfields while ground units reported steady gains across six sectors. Suburban clearing continued in Kirovsk, pockets were compressed south of the Kleban-Byk reservoir, and traction substations tied to rail logistics were hit alongside long-range UAV and unmanned boat hubs. Air defenses reported intercepting guided bombs, HIMARS and Vampire rockets, and hundreds of fixed-wing drones. Colonel A.C. Oguntoye is here to walk us through the day’s operations, sector by sector, and to frame what these actions mean doctrinally and logistically.
Today’s map shifts are modest, but the enabler effects are cumulative. In Kirovsk, suburban isolation plus EW and depot suppression made the close fight cheaper and more controllable. South of Kleban-Byk, fuel and ammunition denial is converting a pocket into a slow-motion yield. In the East, pressure that forces artillery to step back shortens our missions and lengthens theirs—that’s positional warfare paying dividends. The North remains an ISR-led pressure front where depot strikes turn artillery cautious and rotations predictable.
Strategically, the Center is still the lever; if attrition there compels reserve reallocation inward, seams open on the shoulders without a dramatic shift in tempo. The emphasis on traction substations and long-range UAV/USV infrastructure shows a coherent aim: slow the adversary’s logistics clock while eroding the tools they use to contest our air and artillery. Sustain this rhythm—measured ground compression, logistics and EW denial, persistent air-defense performance—and you set conditions for a wider decision without mortgaging force quality.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
