Russian forces are achieving gains in Ukraine before the Putin Trump Summit

Days before summit Among the leaders of Russia and the United States in Alaska, the Moscow forces violated the Ukrainian lines in a series of infiltration in the country’s industrial heart in the country. Although progress in a limited success for Russia only because it still needs to unify its gains before achieving a real penetration, analysts say, it is a possible and possible moment for Ukraine.

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold their high debate on the war in Ukraine in Alaska on Friday. At the same time, Ukraine will watch from abroad with European allies, in the hope that Mr. Trump will protect their interests.

Putin You are likely to try to persuade Mr. Trump to pressure Ukraine through the debate War McCola Peliskov, chief analyst at the CBA Initiative Center, said he was going badly for Kev.

“The main risks of Ukraine are that the Kremlin will try to convert some local gains into the battlefield into strategic victories at the negotiating table,” he said.

When asked about Russia’s continued military attack as he went to Alaska on Friday morning, Mr. Trump said that Putin “tries to pave a stage. I mean, in his mind, this helps him to conclude a better deal. He actually hurts me, but in his mind, this helps him to conclude a better deal, if they can continue to kill.”

Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski said on Tuesday that Putin wants to withdraw Ukraine from the remaining 30 % of the Donetsk region that Kiev still controlled as part of the ceasefire deal, a suggestion by the Ukrainian leader categorically rejected.

After years of fighting, Russia still does not fully control all the Donetsk region, which was illegally annexed in 2022, along with the Luhansk, Jeruson and Zaburisvia regions.

He focused attention on Boucrovsk – a main highway and a railway musk that was previously home to about 60,000, is now a partial preparation – but Russian forces were achieving weaknesses in the north of the city, according to the battlefield analysis site. The forces found a gap east of the city of Dububilia in coal mining and advanced about 6 miles.

Zelenskyy noticed its clear importance to the summit: “Create a certain information background before Putin’s meeting with Trump, especially in the field of American information, indicating that Russia is moving forward and that Ukraine is losing the land.”

Russia is trying to expand its gains

DMYTRO Trehubov, a spokesman for the “DNIPRO” operating group in Ukraine, said the small groups of Russian forces exceed the first defensive line, hiding and trying to build their forces.

He said that the Ukraine army is hungering these attempts, although Dibstati said the situation had not settled.

Analysts described the violation near Dopropilia as a local crisis that can escalate if the Russians are not neutralized and their main forces can be expanded.

The defensive line seemed unavoidable for months, according to a drone pilot in the area, and he spoke on the condition that his identity was not disclosed because he was not authorized to speak publicly. The pilot said that the Moscow forces are taking advantage of the lack of Ukrainian infantry, a problem only related to the stalled mobilization in the country, but also to mismanagement.

The pilot said: “We are pushing with lands and life to fix errors – and we can continue to fix errors only as long as we have a scrap from the left land.”

Ukrainian forces tried to connect gaps by intensive use of drones from the first person-remote devices loaded with explosives that enable operators to see targets before beating.

These FPVs have transformed areas of about 12 miles from front to deadly areas on both sides of the line. But because the Russians attack small groups, it is difficult to face drones alone.

“We cannot launch 100 FPVs at a time,” the pilot said, noting that the drone operators will interfere with each other.

“The superficial Russian workforce is working in its favor.”

“They have no consideration of human life. Often, most of those who send them on a mission in one direction,” he said.

He said that stopping infiltration and attacks by armored vehicles requires various defenses and leadership structures – changes that have not yet appeared alongside Ukraine.

Ukraine seeks to stop the last tide

The Ukraine Army said on Thursday, additional forces were moved to the affected areas, with wrestling forces deployed on the battle, such as the Azov Brigade in the Strip. However, the Deepstate map shows no changes in favor of the Ukrainian army.

Michael Kovman, a military analyst at Carnegie for the gift, said in a post on X that it was too early to evaluate whether the confrontation line collapses.

Peliskov said Russia is focusing on expanding the scope of the front line into a corridor to support its ground forces. The strategy avoids the direct attacks on the urban centers that are strongly fortified, and instead, it pushed the open terrain as the deficiency in Ukraine makes the big forces and settlements defense more difficult.

If it succeeds, such a step can go beyond Russia’s need to storm Kostiantynivka – which was previously a city of more than 67,000 people and now has been greatly destroyed and about to fall. This would complicate the defense of the last cities in the region in Sloveinsk, Kramorsk and Drozcivka, which is a serious challenge for the Ukraine army.

CMDR. Serhi Filimonov warned of the “Da Vinci Wolves” battalion of the 59th Brigade that Kostiantynivka might fall without fighting if Russia has won roads.

With a few major roads, maintaining logistical services for a large number of Ukrainian forces in the region will become “very difficult”.

By moving to the summit, Filimonov criticized what he described as the ongoing Russian killings and sins. Then the civilized world comes to them and says: “Well, let’s conclude a deal.” This is not how it should be done. “
