The new year began with few changes on the battlefield, where multiple clashes between Russia y Ukraine for control of the territory they continued with great intensity.
In the first days of this 2025, Vladimir Putin’s Army kept its offensives on several frontsincreasing the pressure on Volodimir Zelensky’s troops, who use advanced Western weaponry to defend their positions and prevent the advance of the enemy.
In recent days, as reported by the commander-in-chief of the kyiv Army, Oleksandr Sirski, to Zelensky, Moscow launched constant attacks in the region of Donetskas in the vicinity of Pokrovsk, Kurajov, In Lima y Vremivkawhere the situation is more complex.
In the case of Kurájove, the majority of the territory is already under russian controlafter a series of strong offensives that allowed it to advance, as is happening in Terni, north of Limán, where the enemy advances step by step firm thanks to the incorporation of new reserve officers, according to battalion officer Aidar Stanislav Buniatov.
Also, Putin’s troops continue their attacks on the western front, towards the border between Dnipropetrovsk y Donetskafter having made progress in the villages of Novoelizavetivka, Solon y Vovkovwith the aim of surround cities and cut logistics chainsalthough avoid frontal assaults -especially in Pokrovsk– in which they have demonstrated significantly inferior capacity, compared to the kyiv officers.
Meanwhile, in Kursk some are produced 30 enemy attacks per dayin an attempt to counteract the Ukrainian victories of months ago.
Despite these efforts, kyiv remains firm in its defense in the territory and, thanks to the training and the armament provided by the allieshas managed to repel and counteract Russia’s aggression on the battlefield.
A clear example of this is Chasiv Yarwhere Russian forces have been trying to enter for nine months, although without success. Also, Zelensky’s Army managed to prevent important advances in Velika Novosilkato the southwest.
To defend their positions, the troops use the mining and of the droneswhich allow them to destroy the enemy’s resources more easily, explained the spokesman for the 24th Army Brigade Andri Polukhin, while taking advantage of Russia’s main weaknesses on the battlefield: the inferiority of its inexperienced officers and the lack of armored vehicles.
“The situation remains difficult, the enemy attacks with infantry and tries to capture our positions… However, none of their tactics – neither the large assaults nor the raids by small groups of infantry – are successful”Polujin highlighted.
Ukrainian General Sergi Nayev carried out a similar analysis, in which he stated that the Kremlin’s objective of capture the entire Donetsk and Lugansk regionsand of expel his troops from Kurskwill be difficult to complete since “it can carry out active offensives on several fronts but not on all at the same time.”
“Russia will not be able to make major advances anywhere on the battlefield. Instead, focus on your political objective key, which is to convince Ukraine’s partners that it has an infinite amount of equipment and people, and can maintain that pressure indefinitely, which is not true,” he said.
