Perdite dell’esercito russo a 12.9.2025

1000+ personnel seems like a fever dream.

The truck and fuel tank numbers continue to decline. Probably they are in a line at an empty gas station waiting for fuel that even coupons will not make appear.

On the front lines, the intensity of Russian offensives remained at a level comparable to previous days. The main attack directions have not changed.

– In the Kursk/Sumy/Belgorod sector, Russian unit activity was low. Ukrainian forces improved their positions slightly, but this did not amount to a significant change. Russian command is trying to restrain Ukrainian initiative with glide bombs and artillery.

– In the Kharkiv direction, the number of Russian attacks increased, but they have not been able to retake their lost positions.

– Toward the city of Kupyansk, battles were somewhat more intense yesterday than the day before. Heavy Russian assaults continue in the Lyman sector. In the Siversk sector, there were fewer combat contacts than in previous days. No major changes in troop deployments have occurred.

– In the Bakhmut area, the Russian army was passive near Chasiv Yar. In this sector, offensive activity fluctuates greatly. Around Toretsk, routine positional battles continue.

– East of Pokrovske, Ukrainian units continue to seize Russian positions. Ukrainian command does not wish to report on this operationally in order to better ensure the security of its units. Thus, it can be assumed that the snippets of information appearing in the media reflect the situation of a day or two earlier. Russian command has not managed to provide strong support for its troops in this sector, although counterattacks are being carried out. This situation does not match well with the repeatedly published claims in recent weeks that Russian command had concentrated a large grouping in the same area with the aim of resuming the offensive east of Pokrovsk.
Yesterday, additional information emerged about the transfer of several Russian naval infantry units to southern Donbas. It is possible that these large formations have not yet been concentrated for an attack. We shall see how it develops. Russian command has managed to increase the tempo of attacks southwest of Donetsk, and it may also have advanced into the territory of Dnipropetrovsk region. At present, it seems more likely that this maneuver is aimed at halting Ukrainian attacks east of Pokrovsk.

– On the southern front, Russian units were passive. Along the Dnipro, Russian activity has declined over the past two weeks. Yesterday, Ukraine lost a Su-27 attack aircraft on the southern front.
