The past 24 hours marked one of the most intense periods of combat since the beginning of 2025. Russian forces significantly increased attacks in Eastern Ukraine, prompting fierce defensive responses by Ukrainian troops. At the same time, diplomatic initiatives gained momentum as representatives from Ukraine and the United States met in Saudi Arabia to discuss a temporary ceasefire. International partners continue their robust military support, supplying Ukraine with crucial weapons and resources.
Frontline Situation: Ukraine Forces Repel 259 Russian Attacks
Between noon March 11 and noon March 12, Ukrainian forces reported a record number of 259 frontline engagements with Russian troops. The fiercest battles were fought near Pokrovsk, where Ukrainian forces successfully repelled 68 enemy attacks. Intense fighting also occurred near Lyman, Kupiansk, and Kursk, but Ukrainian defense forces successfully maintained their positions, preventing significant Russian breakthroughs.
In northern Ukraine’s Sumy region, Russian sabotage groups attempted infiltrations but were quickly neutralized by Ukrainian border guards and defensive units.
Russian Military Losses: Over 1,400 Casualties in a Single Day
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian forces sustained severe losses over the past day:
- Personnel: Approximately 1,430 killed
- Tanks: 10,306 total (+3 units)
- Armored combat vehicles: 21,430 units (+7)
- Artillery systems: 24,390 (+44)
- MLRS systems: 1,314 (+1)
- Operational-tactical UAVs: 28,912 units (+111)
These substantial losses significantly weaken the operational capabilities of Russian forces and underline the intensity of Ukraine’s defensive operations.
Diplomatic Efforts: US and Ukraine Explore Paths to Ceasefire
On March 11, 2025, critical negotiations took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between representatives of Ukraine and the United States. The Ukrainian delegation supported a U.S.-proposed initiative for a comprehensive 30-day ceasefire along all active fronts. This ceasefire aims to create conditions conducive to developing a broader peace agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that American representatives have already traveled to Russia to discuss implementing this 30-day ceasefire, expressing hope that Russian President Vladimir Putin would accept this initiative. If agreed upon, this could be a significant step toward resolving the conflict that has persisted since 2022.
International Support for Ukraine: Increased Military Assistance
Portugal has provided Ukraine with eight SA-330 Puma helicopters equipped with advanced Exocet anti-ship missiles to bolster coastal defenses. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and other European nations reaffirmed their commitment to continue supplying artillery, tanks, ammunition, and logistical support to Ukrainian forces.
Despite temporary fluctuations in U.S. assistance, NATO and European allies remain consistent in their commitment, highlighting continued solidarity and strategic support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Humanitarian Situation: Russian Missile Strikes on Odesa and Kryvyi Rih
The humanitarian situation remains critical amid continued Russian strikes. Overnight on March 12, Russia launched massive attacks against Odesa and Kryvyi Rih using three Iskander-M ballistic missiles and more than 130 Shahed kamikaze drones. These strikes killed at least four civilians, injured over 20 people, and severely damaged residential buildings, fuel depots, warehouses, and civilian infrastructure.
Rescue teams, humanitarian organizations, and volunteers responded promptly, providing medical care and facilitating evacuations from heavily impacted areas.
Internal Situation: Economic Stability and Enhanced Mobilization Efforts
Despite ongoing hostilities, Ukraine maintains economic stability due to international financial support and efficient governmental management. The state budget recorded revenues of over 536 billion hryvnias in the first two months of 2025. Furthermore, the government has launched a digital mobilization system to streamline military registration.
Legislative amendments have also been adopted, strengthening the social protection of members of the resistance movement who have been captured, granting them official combatant status and associated benefits.
Conclusion
The situation in Ukraine as of March 12, 2025, reflects heightened combat intensity, substantial Russian losses, and active diplomatic negotiations aimed at securing a temporary ceasefire. International support remains critical to Ukraine’s resistance efforts. Though humanitarian conditions are strained due to relentless attacks, the internal economic and political stability of Ukraine continues to provide a firm foundation for eventual peace and recovery.
