💨 Abstract

In eastern Ukraine, increasing drone presence from Russia poses challenges for medical evacuations and territorial control. Key towns like Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka face siege risks. Russia's strategic advances, despite Ukrainian efforts, are altering the front lines, posing threats to major cities. The US has shortened the deadline for Russian peace talks, though it's unlikely to change Moscow's tactics. Kyiv struggles with resource and personnel shortages amid mounting pressure.
