Colonel AC. Oguntoye, on the progress of the special military operation as of March 19, 2025, are as follows:

1. "Continued Operations": The Russian Armed Forces are continuing their special military operation, maintaining pressure across multiple strategic directions including the Belgorod, West, Southern, Center, East, and Dnepr regions, as well as in the Kursk region near the Russian border.

2. "Tactical Advances and Losses": In these areas, the Russian forces claim to have inflicted significant losses on the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including casualties among personnel and the destruction of a variety of military equipment such as tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored combat vehicles, artillery pieces, and engineering vehicles.

3. "Strategic Positions Improved": Russian units in various groups (North, West, Center, Southern) have reportedly improved their tactical positions, capturing more advantageous lines and positions, and defeating Ukrainian forces in key areas, leading to claimed substantial Ukrainian military losses.

4. "Use of Advanced Technology and Tactics": The briefing highlights the use of operational-tactical aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, missile troops, and artillery to target Ukrainian military infrastructure, equipment depots, and personnel concentrations. There's a particular emphasis on air defense and electronic warfare systems being effective in countering Ukrainian drones and other aerial threats.

5. "Analysis of Ukrainian Tactics": The report suggests that Ukrainian forces are attempting similar tactics across different regions, such as mechanized group assaults aimed at quickly capturing bridgeheads. However, these efforts are characterized as lacking in flexibility and resources, with repeated tactics not adapting to the strengthened Russian defenses, which now feature increased minefield density, improved fire control, and greater use of unmanned systems.

6. "Political and Informational Strategy": The briefing implies that Ukrainian actions may be driven by a desire to achieve political and informational effects, suggesting that even limited military gains could have significant symbolic value in terms of international and domestic perception.

7. "Casualty and Equipment Loss Totals": The document provides detailed figures on the total losses incurred by the Ukrainian forces since the beginning of the operation, including the destruction of aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, tanks, and various other military vehicles and equipment.

8. "Ongoing Military Objectives": The Russian military claims to continue focusing on defeating Ukrainian formations and maintaining control over contested areas, with ongoing operations particularly emphasized in the regions near the Russian border like Kursk, where additional Ukrainian attempts at incursions were reported.

This briefing outlines a narrative of strong tactical positioning and success against Ukrainian forces, while also pointing to the challenges faced by Ukraine in terms of tactical flexibility and resource allocation in their military operations.
