Relentless Frontlines: Daily Strikes and Slow Gains in Donetsk and Zaporizhia

Heavy fighting continues in Donetsk and Zaporizhia with hundreds of strikes daily and modest territorial shifts as both sides grind for position. Ukrainian forces are mounting thousands of drone strikes to blunt Russian assaults while making incremental gains in some sectors. Ukraine’s drone and port attacks have damaged Russian oil-export capacity, while Russia fields large formations and new FPV drone tactics reaching Kramatorsk. The Zaporozhye nuclear plant remains a frontline concern after strikes near its monitoring facilities, and civilian casualties from aerial bombardment remain significant.
