COMBAT BRIEFING NUMBER 1224 — 1 JUL 2025"

"Strategic Overview"
Russian forces sustained multi-axis pressure, pairing deep-strike interdiction with localized ground advances. Massed aviation, missile, and artillery fires struck 148 rear-area nodes—including UAV assembly lines, C2 hubs, and ammunition stores—while air defenses intercepted three Storm Shadow cruise missiles, five JDAM glide bombs, three HIMARS rockets, and 173 UAVs.

"Front-Line Developments"

"North Group (Sumy / Kharkiv Axis)"
Incremental advances at Varachino–Yunakovka and Okhrimovka–Volchansk dismantled mechanized, ranger, airborne-assault, and “Khimera” SOF elements. Claimed Ukrainian losses: ≈180 personnel, three AFVs, six vehicles, four guns, plus a Croatian RAK-SA-12 MLRS launcher. Two depots destroyed, reducing forward ammunition elasticity.

"West Group (Kupyansk Bulge)"
Russian troops secured higher ground around Kupyansk, Nizhneye Solenoye, and Sobolevka, defeating mechanized, airmobile, and assault brigades. Reported toll: 220+ personnel, a tank, Western artillery piece, 12 vehicles. Destruction of an EW node and four depots further degrades Ukrainian rail-based resupply to the Oskil line.

"Southern Group (Seversk–Chasov Yar Corridor)"
Targeted attacks on mechanized, mountain-assault, and airmobile brigades near Seversk, Predtechino, and Konstantinovka inflicted ≈160 casualties, neutralised four guns, and collapsed one ammo dump. Positional gains inch Russian artillery closer to the Chasov Yar defensive hub.

"Center Group (Novoukrainka Salient)"
Sustained offensives at Udachnoye, Novosergeevka, and Dachnoye struck mechanized, airborne-assault, UAV, and marine brigades. Ukrainian losses estimated at ≈500 personnel, US-made HMMWV & MaxxPro vehicles, plus 11 pickups. Capture of forward positions expands the breach threatening Pokrovsk logistics arteries.

"East Group (Donetsk South / Zaporizhia Edge)"
Forces pushed through Zelenoye Pole–Levadnoye, defeating mechanized, marine, and territorial units; ≈215 Ukrainian casualties, an EW station, and two guns eliminated. Control of Chervona Zirka–Shevchenko corridor grants observation over key lateral routes in southern Donetsk.

"Dnipro Group (Kherson–Nikopol Line)"
Raids from Kamenskoye to Antonivka targeted mechanized, coastal-defense, and mountain-assault brigades; ≈90 casualties, a US HMMWV, nine EW stations, and multiple depots destroyed. Actions restrict Ukrainian river mobility and complicate drone-launch operations along the Dnipro.

"Deep-Strike & Air Domain"

Precision strikes damaged a naval fuel terminal, UAV production workshops, and dispersed command posts across 148 districts, aiming to starve Ukrainian frontline formations of energy, drones, and coherent C2. Interceptions of Storm Shadow and JDAM rounds highlight a tightening Russian A2/AD envelope.

"Operational Analysis & Implications"

" "Cumulative Attrition:" Daily Ukrainian personnel losses (≈ 1 365 across sectors) and repeated depot strikes erode reserve depth and artillery sustainability, forcing Kyiv to prioritize defense of critical hubs over contested villages.
" "Logistics Choke Points:" Continued envelopment of Kupyansk and pressure on Pokrovsk threaten to split northern and eastern Ukrainian theaters, risking isolated pockets vulnerable to pincer operations.
" "ISR Degradation:" Systematic targeting of EW stations and UAV infrastructure diminishes Ukrainian real-time reconnaissance, widening windows for Russian maneuver and limiting HIMARS effectiveness.
" "Air-Defense Resilience:" Successful interceptions of Western PGMs suggest improved Russian sensor-shooter integration; sustained performance could blunt Ukrainian precision-strike leverage through summer.

Overall, Moscow’s strategy of incremental positional gains married to deep-strike disruption is generating compounding effects—tightening the logistics vise and chipping away at Ukraine’s operational cohesion ahead of expected late-summer offensives.
