Kiev burns under Geran/Iskander barrage — Ukrainian reserves thrown into the meat grinder. Russian troops are advancing on two strategic fronts—intensifying attacks near Dnipro while storming Konstantinovka’s outskirts, as UAVs sever Ukrainian supply routes to Krasnoarmiysk. This pincer movement aims to fracture Kiev’s defenses in eastern Ukraine’s industrial belt.
Situation in the sky
In a major escalation on July 10, 2025, the Russian Armed Forces (RAF) fired approximately 400 combat drones alongside 12 precision missiles in their most sustained attack on Ukraine’s capital this year. The bombardment forced Kiev into a continuous 10-hour air raid alert – the longest single alert period recorded since the conflict began.

Situation on the fronts
The RAF maintain the strategic initiative, relentlessly pressing Ukrainian troops on multiple fronts to identify and exploit weaknesses in their defenses.
In the Sumy direction, Russian military continued offensive operations in northern Sumy Oblast but have yet to achieve confirmed territorial gains. Ukrainian troops are now focused on reinforcing defensive positions near the border settlements of Ryzhevka and Bessalovka rather than attempting costly breakthrough operations. While Ukrainian forces conduct limited counterattacks with uneven outcomes, Russian Aerospace Forces are systematically pounding advancing Ukrainian formations with heavy FAB glide bomb strikes. According to Russian military sources, they have made limited tactical advances near Yunakovka and Varachino.

In the Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmiysk) direction, fierce fighting continues as Russian assault units advance toward key settlements—Udachnoye, Zverevoye, and Muravka—under relentless artillery and drone fire. Both sides suffer heavy casualties in these grinding positional battles, with Russian forces attempting to breach layered Ukrainian defenses through concentrated firepower and incremental gains.
In the Toretsk direction, the RAF conducted ground assaults near multiple settlements, including Dyliivka, Yablunivka, Rusyn Yar, Popiv Yar, Poltavka, and toward Katerynivka, Oleksandro-Kalynove, Pleshchiivka, and Shcherbynivka.
Despite these attacks, Major Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Khortytsia Group of Forces, noted a recent decrease in the intensity of Russian offensive operations in this sector. Meanwhile, Ukrainian sources speculate that additional Russian units may have been redeployed to the Toretsk axis, possibly in preparation for a renewed push toward Konstantinovka.
In the South Donetsk direction, Russian troops have secured control of Tolstoy village and are consolidating their positions in the surrounding area. Building on this success, offensive operations continue with advances reported toward Aleksandrovgrad and Karl Marks, marking steady progress in the sector.

In the Zaporizhzhia direction, the RAF are currently engaged in intense combat near the northern outskirts of Kamenskoye, where they are repelling determined Ukrainian counterattacks. Meanwhile, in the Malaya Tokmachka sector, the Russian 70th Motorized Rifle Regiment maintains its offensive push, resulting in fierce and bloody clashes.

Political agenda
Following a prolonged diplomatic freeze, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held an unannounced hour-long meeting during the ASEAN events in Kuala Lumpur. The closed-door discussions, only revealed post-factum on Thursday, mark the first high-level contact between the nations in months.
Rubio confirmed that Moscow tabled previously undisclosed proposals regarding Ukraine, signaling Russia’s attempt to seize the diplomatic initiative. Analysts suggest these may include limited concessions from the Kremlin, potentially linked to Washington’s recent pause in arms shipments to Kiev. The unexpected dialogue, while not yet breakthrough, indicates both sides may be testing waters for potential off-ramps in the conflict.
