Frontline Update: Sumy and Donetsk Liberations, Deep Strikes Strangle Ukrainian Sustainment

Welcome to Frontline Updates. In today’s episode we dissect Combat Briefing 2907, dated 29 July 2026, with Colonel A.C. Oguntoye. Russian forces have consolidated gains on two fronts—seizing Novaya Sech in Sumy and Svetloye in the Donetsk People’s Republic—while continuing to advance along all six operational axes. Ukrainian losses have exceeded 1,330 personnel, and deep-strike packages have hit 137 targets across the rear, including fuel, power, UAV production, and ammunition sites. Air defence formations neutralized four Neptune missiles, six guided aerial bombs, and 619 drones. Join us as we go sector by sector, examine the aviation campaign, and unpack the strategic logic behind the EW and logistics attrition.
