ISW Update March 14 2025

quote:

Key Takeaways:

ISW has observed no geolocated evidence to indicate that Russian forces have encircled a significant number of Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast or elsewhere along the frontline in Ukraine.

Putin seized on a statement by US President Donald Trump about the supposed encirclement of Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast to distract from his recent rejection of the US-Ukrainian ceasefire proposal.

Kremlin statements following Putin's meeting with US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff on March 13 underscore Putin's rejection of the US-Ukrainian ceasefire proposal and continued unwillingness to engage in good faith negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.

Russian forces marginally advanced towards the international border in Kursk Oblast on March 14, but Ukrainian forces still maintain limited positions in Kursk Oblast.

Consistent Ukrainian strikes against Russian air defense assets are reportedly allowing Ukrainian long-range drones to increasingly penetrate the Russian air defense umbrella in deep rear areas, including in Moscow Oblast.

The Ukrainian military reorganized the Ukrainian 3rd Separate Assault Brigade into the 3rd Army Corps, further showcasing Ukraine's force efforts to transition to a corps structure.

Ukraine's European allies continue to provide military assistance and technical support and demonstrate interest in strengthening bilateral cooperation.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced in Toretsk, and Russian forces recently advanced in Toretsk and near Siversk and Pokrovsk.

Why is this so? Russification. Take note Europe. If there are ethnic Russians living near you. Your country could be next.

Too bad those pesky drones in England kept us from delivering those Tactical nukes to Ukraine. Maybe the Brits will do it

As the Baltics de-Russify their countries, this is certainly the next flash point for Putin's urges.

What will Trump do when he get's pissed at Putin's crazy arse demands for Ukraine?

300 F16's with Ukraine mercenary pilots and contract maintenance crews along with a lot of other lethal equipment?

Forbes: No, Russia Has Not Surrounded Thousands Of Ukrainian Troops In Kursk
President Donald Trump parroted a Russian lie.

This says the Ukrainian troops left already...

There are reports that Trump's original post on Truth Social had a Moscow time stamp. It was quickly changed when this was noted on numerous Twitter feeds.

I know it's not the first time you've written this, but it's possibly the most insane thing said on this thread... which is quite the achievement. A tactical nuke doesn't solve things in any fashion, and in fact makes them exponentially worse.

Ukraine to produce over 4 million drones in 2025. Image showing a single production batch. In an initiative to achieve strategic independence from China, Ukraine has announced the production of the initial batch of a thousand FPV drones which were assembled entirely from Ukrainian components.

4 million drones covers 2000 km of frontline at a depth of 20 km with a drone for every 100 m by 100 m area.

10 per russian soldier is another way to look at it.

Why dont you invest in it

The country does not have power 40% of the time and they are running produciton lines like Tesla.

They only got the tech from the US, when we leave so it goes.

Maybe the ghost of kracker will resurrect, bring Van Braun with him and accomplish it....but I doubt it.

Looks like the guy stopped at a radio shack and took some pictures, they dont look like drones, and they certainly dont look like 4 million of them.

Dont you think if they had the capacity to build 4 million drones they would be proud to show the inside of this massive facility????????????????????????

They have hundreds of drone micro-factories. The reasons for distributed manufacturing should be obvious.

I could build a single quad from scratch in prob 3 hours. Using an area smaller than 1/4 of my rec room. An operation like that could put out hundreds a week in a small home or office easy.

You don’t need a huge assembly facility.
