ISW Update March 19 2025

Key Takeaways:
Russia and Ukraine have not formally announced the implementation of the temporary long-range strikes ceasefire.
Official American, Ukrainian, and Russian statements indicate that the parties to the ceasefire have not yet finalized the details of the agreement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is adding confusion about the timing and details of the ceasefire in an attempt to falsely blame Ukraine for violating the ceasefire before both countries have officially implemented the agreement.
The Kremlin continues to contradict Trump's report of his call with Putin on March 18.
The Kremlin continues to demand that Ukraine cede Ukrainian territory that Russia does not currently occupy and to set conditions to make further territorial demands.
The United States, Ukraine, and Europe continue to agree that Ukraine and Europe must be involved in peace negotiations to end the war, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin's efforts to exclude Ukraine and Europe from such negotiations.
Ukraine and Russia conducted a prisoner of war (POW) exchange on March 19.
The Russian Ministry of Defense's (MoD) Main Military-Political Directorate Deputy Head and Akhmat Spetsnaz Commander, Major General Apti Alaudinov, described recent Russian deception tactics that may amount to acts of perfidy — a war crime under the Geneva Convention.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced in Belgorod Oblast and near Pokrovsk, and Russian forces recently advanced near Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, Pokrovsk, and Velyka Novosilka.
Russian milbloggers argued that the Russian government should give military awards and social benefits to military instructors and Russian defense industrial base (DIB) employees.

You still can't answer a simple question. Why say it at all? Nothing you have said is a valid reason because there isn't one

Ukrainian drones strike Russia's Engels strategic aviation airfield
VALENTYNA ROMANENKO — Thursday, 20 March 2025, 12:16
Explosions at the Engels airfield in Russia's Saratov Oblast on the night of 19-20 March were the result of a joint operation by Ukraine's Security Service (SSU) and the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Source: Ukrainska Pravda source in security services; General Staff of the Armed Forces on Facebook
Details: The airfield is a key base for Russia's strategic aviation. It is home to Tu-95MS, Tu-22M3 and Tu-160 bombers, as well as warehouses storing FAB and guided aerial bombs and cruise missiles. Aircraft that launch missile strikes on Ukraine take off from this base.
The SSU and Special Operations Forces' effective drone attack resulted in a fire, explosions and secondary detonation of munitions in the area of the airfield.
The source stated that Russian air defence systems were ineffective and hit civilian buildings and infrastructure in the cities of Engels and Saratov.
Update: The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has confirmed the strike on the military airfield in Engels. It emphasised that this military facility is used by Russian aircraft, including for launching missile strikes on Ukrainian territory and carrying out terrorist attacks against civilians.
Quote: "Ukraine's defence forces have detailed information about the strategic facilities of the Russians, adhere to international humanitarian law and take measures to maximise the protection of civilians and put an end to the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine."

quote:
Three Tu-95MS and two Tu-160s were stationed at Engels-2 airbase, OSINT channels claim. In the morning, an Il-76 arrived at the base, probably delivering a new batch of Kh-101 missiles for strategic aviation.
After the impact and detonation, the debris scattered over a radius of about 5 km, which increases the likelihood of damage to the aircraft.
Sweet vids.

Engels, the scale of the destruction near the airfield, the shock wave swept away houses
Yes, this is worse than Russian houses normally look like. The empty vodka bottles have been swept away.
If the shockwave and flying ammo debris did this much damage kilometers away from the airfield, we are thinking the RUF aircraft caught a lot of damage as well.
Finally, 15 hours after the falling Ukrainian drone parts hit the target, it's still cooking off. Shame.
OOFda.

UPDATE ON UKRAINE
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
20 March 2025
The Russian Armed Forces have likely sustained approximately 900,000 casualties (killed and wounded) since invading Ukraine in 2022. Of these, it is likely 200,000 250,000 Russian soldiers have been killed, Russia's largest losses since the Second World War.
Russian President Putin and the Russian military leadership highly likely prioritise their conflict objectives over the lives of Russian soldiers. They are almost certainly prepared to tolerate continuously high casualty rates so long as this does not negatively affect public or elite support for the war, and those losses can be replaced.
Putin and the Russian leadership highly likely place significantly less value on the lives of ethnic minority Russian citizens from impoverished regions, with Russian recruitment efforts consequently focussed disproportionately on these areas. Slavic Russians from urban centres such as Moscow and St. Petersburg have contributed disproportionately fewer service personnel than their poorer, ethnic minority compatriots.

Sir Winston supports this. He sees the "Russian Army" itself as a bunch of Fine Christain Lads. But the ones who do the killing and dying....those are the non Christian ethnic hordes from the Stans. Or better yet, Godless North Koreans.
No matter that Christianity and church attendance are both practiced by a higher percentage of the Ukraine population than Russian. As long as it makes sense in his brain, he doesn't want to hear about it.

Google Maps link showing the airbase and the weapon storage areas that were most likely where the big boom came from

If you zoom in, you will see a lot of green tubes...those are missile containers.

Given the close proximity of the runway and Russia's non-use of hangers to protect their planes, any plane that was parked on the ramp was likely damaged.
