As of April 10, 2025, it is the 1141st day of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022. The fighting remains intense, with combat concentrated in the east and south of the country, where Russian forces continue to push for breakthroughs.
Despite relentless attacks, the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) retain the initiative, repelling assaults and inflicting significant losses on the enemy. A total of 84 combat engagements were recorded over the past day. Amid escalating hostilities, international support for Ukraine is strengthening through new aid packages and deeper defense cooperation. Meanwhile, Russia continues to carry out terrorist strikes against civilian areas, causing new casualties.
Frontline Situation
The frontline remains tense, particularly along the eastern and southern axes. Russian forces are attempting to breach Ukrainian defenses but face stiff resistance and well-coordinated counteractions.
Over the 24-hour period from April 9 to 10, 84 combat clashes took place. The heaviest fighting was observed in the following areas:
- Kharkiv direction: Ukrainian units repelled several enemy attempts to advance near Vovchansk, using assault teams and precise artillery fire.
- Kupiansk direction: Russian troops attempted to push near Synkivka, but their attacks were thwarted due to early detection of enemy build-up.
- Lyman direction: Fierce clashes are ongoing around Makiivka and Nevske. Russian artillery is active, but their offensive progress is stalled.
- Bakhmut direction: The battle for tactical control continues near Bohdanivka, Ivanivske, and Klishchiivka. Ukrainian troops hold their positions, using drones and mortar fire.
- Avdiivka direction: Russian forces tried to break through near Pervomaiske and Novobakhmutivka but sustained heavy losses. The area remains under Ukrainian control.
- Marinka direction: Fighting continues around Krasnohorivka, where enemy tanks are engaged but ineffective.
- Orikhiv direction: Russian assaults near Robotyne and Novodanylivka were repelled.
- Kherson direction: Ukrainian troops maintain control over key bridgeheads despite continued Russian artillery and airstrikes on the left bank of the Dnipro.
The AFU continue to respond flexibly to frontline dynamics, deploying FPV drones, artillery, and mobile tactical groups.

Ukrainian Strikes & Eliminated Targets
The AFU continue to conduct precision strikes against Russian targets both at the front and in the enemy’s rear areas. Intelligence and air force operations have resulted in the destruction of several key logistical and command points:
- In the south, a battalion-level command post was destroyed, eliminating officers and command equipment.
- Near Ilovaisk, a large ammunition depot detonated, triggering secondary explosions.
- In the Kreminna area, a Russian Msta-S self-propelled artillery system was accurately destroyed.
- In the Tokmak sector, FPV drones hit fuel trucks, ammo transporters, and engineering vehicles.
- In the Kherson region, Ukrainian forces struck a Russian UAV base and relay equipment used to coordinate drone operations.
These actions significantly undermine the enemy’s logistical and operational command capabilities.
Diplomatic Developments
Ukraine continues its proactive diplomatic engagement. French President Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed that France does not rule out sending military instructors to Ukraine should the frontline situation escalate. This position has been publicly supported by Poland and the Baltic states, emphasizing the need to reinforce Europe’s defense capabilities.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a call with President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, discussing coordination ahead of the G7 summit and further military aid priorities.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced the preparation of a new support package focused on protecting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and supplying air defense systems.
In Washington, the Ukrainian delegation met with Pentagon officials to discuss expanding co-production of defense equipment and strengthening bilateral logistics chains.
Meanwhile, Brussels hosted negotiations on increasing the European Defence Fund, with a portion earmarked for direct defense procurements for Ukraine.
International Support for Ukraine
Ukraine’s allies continue to provide robust support through weapons, funding, and logistics.
The United States maintains aid deliveries under previously approved packages, including 155mm shells, HIMARS rockets, and anti-drone systems.
The European Union is working on a new mechanism for direct procurement of ammunition for Ukraine, aiming to bypass bureaucratic delays. Bloomberg reports that €1 billion may be allocated for the next round of deliveries.
Canada is preparing a new defense package that includes electronic warfare tools, winter gear, and armored medevac vehicles.
Norway and Denmark have pledged joint funding for air defense systems within the “Sky Shield” coalition. Initial deliveries are expected in May.
Poland has transferred another batch of armored vehicles and logistics trucks tailored to the eastern front’s needs.
Humanitarian Situation in Ukraine
Russian shelling continues to cause civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. On the night of April 10, a missile hit a residential building in Zaporizhzhia, injuring at least 8 people. Evacuations were conducted, and rescue operations are ongoing.
In Kharkiv, missile debris damaged a kindergarten and a school. No casualties were reported, but classes have been suspended. In Mykolaiv, drone attacks left three civilians injured and destroyed several homes.
Despite the dangers, international aid organizations have resumed operations. World Central Kitchen has returned to Odesa, distributing over 20,000 hot meals daily. UNICEF has delivered 5,000 educational kits to schools in frontline communities.
Domestic Situation in Ukraine
Ukraine continues to adapt institutionally amid full-scale war. The Cabinet of Ministers approved a draft law introducing an electronic military registration system. This will allow conscripts to submit information via the Diia app, simplifying procedures under martial law.
Repairs have been completed on one of the power units at Kyiv’s CHP-5, damaged during a March missile strike. This strengthens the capital’s energy resilience.
The National Bank of Ukraine reported currency market stability, supported by cautious macroeconomic policies and foreign aid.
The Ministry of Infrastructure announced the opening of two new logistics hubs to improve humanitarian aid distribution to frontline areas.
In Lviv, an energy security forum addressed the threat of renewed strikes on critical infrastructure and the need for coordinated international protection efforts.
Conclusion
The front remains dynamic with ongoing clashes and resilient Ukrainian defensive maneuvers. Russia continues offensive attempts but suffers growing losses in personnel and equipment due to Ukraine’s effective drone warfare, artillery, and mobile units. International backing is increasing in both quantity and sophistication, while Ukraine maintains domestic resilience through administrative, energy, and logistical improvements. These developments affirm Ukraine’s long-term sustainability and its readiness for continued resistance and recovery.
