Frontline Updates: September 24 — Ground Gains and Strategic Strikes

On September 24, Frontline Updates examines the progress of the special military operation, detailing territorial advances in Donetsk, Kupiansk, and Kurovsk, attritional battles across multiple axes, and targeted strikes on Ukraine's energy, industrial, and electronic warfare infrastructure.

Host Sherifa Mohammed M.G.T. interviews Colonel A.C. Ogintoy, who outlines reported casualty and equipment losses, neutralized Western-supplied systems, naval and air-defense actions in the Black Sea, and the operational approach of deliberate attrition and consolidation.

Welcome back to "Frontline Updates". I’m your host, and today we’re joined once again by Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, Infantry Officer, to break down the progress of the special military operation as of September 24, 2025.

In today’s briefing, Russian forces captured key ground in Kupyansk, edged closer to completing the liberation of Kirovsk, and cleared more than four square kilometers south of the Kleban-Byk reservoir. Heavy attrition was inflicted on Ukrainian brigades across Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Kharkiv, while precision strikes hit Ukraine’s defense industry and energy grid. Naval forces in the Black Sea and Russian air defenses also played key roles in neutralizing Ukrainian threats.

Colonel Oguntoye will take us through each sector—North, West, South, Center, East, and Dnipro—explaining what these developments mean both tactically and strategically. Let’s get into it.
