Kremlin's Summer Offensive Underway as Russian Forces Advance on Ukrainian Battlefields
- On Tuesday, June 10, 2025, Russia launched a summer offensive focusing on Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region and the Sumy buffer zone.
- Russia aims to break Ukrainian morale and secure a symbolic victory for President Putin amid ongoing drone warfare and contested frontline gains.
- Russia has massed 50,000 troops near key targets and advances slowly, matching gains in the north and Donbas while using abundant cheap drones and increased munitions production.
- More than 300 drones, 499 weapons including ballistic missiles, and intensified air strikes hit Ukrainian cities recently, causing casualties and widespread sheltering but no deaths in Kyiv.
- The offensive's outcome remains uncertain, with Ukraine's early drone edge eroding but frontlines unstable, suggesting continued fighting unless diplomacy stabilizes the conflict.
