This comprehensive digest covers major events from the ongoing war in Ukraine from 12:00 PM March 5 to 12:00 PM March 6, 2025. The article covers the latest military activity on the frontlines, Russian drone and missile strikes, diplomatic initiatives, international support for Ukraine, and the humanitarian toll. Key updates on Russian losses, Ukraine’s resilience, and ongoing efforts for peace negotiations are also included.
Military Situation
The frontlines in Ukraine remain heavily contested. Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces have successfully repelled 95 Russian attacks across critical sectors such as Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Shakhtarsk. Intense fighting continues, particularly in the Donbas region, with significant Russian casualties reported.
Russian missile and drone strikes have been increasing, with multiple missile attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. Notably, on March 5, a ballistic missile struck Kryvyi Rih, causing civilian casualties. Ukrainian air defense forces successfully intercepted a significant number of incoming threats, including six Shahed drones over Dnipropetrovsk region during the night of March 6.
Ukraine has also ramped up its long-range missile capabilities, with successful drone strikes targeting Russian oil facilities in Ufa and Syzran, signaling the growing strength of Ukrainian weapons. Ukraine’s use of precision-guided artillery is proving effective in countering Russia’s overwhelming artillery numbers, leading to significant degradation of Russian front-line capabilities.
Russian forces continue to rely heavily on artillery and drones, but their advances have been stalled by Ukrainian defenses, highlighting the ongoing military stalemate.
Diplomatic Initiatives and International Support
The United States has shifted its diplomatic stance, initiating peace talks with Russia that have excluded Ukraine. While this change has caused concern among European allies, it signals the U.S.’s growing emphasis on negotiating an end to the war. President Zelenskyy has expressed Ukraine’s firm position: no negotiations will be accepted without Kyiv’s involvement.
Despite the U.S. pivot, European Union leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to military support for Ukraine, with emergency summits held to discuss bolstering Ukraine’s defense and long-term security guarantees. France and Germany have pushed for more military and financial assistance, and European leaders continue to stress the importance of Ukraine’s sovereignty in any peace agreement.
NATO remains strongly committed to Ukraine’s defense, with the UK and Poland leading efforts to provide heavy weapons, training for Ukrainian soldiers, and air defense systems. The UK has also pledged further military assistance, reinforcing NATO’s stance on the conflict.
China, while publicly supporting a peaceful resolution, continues to bolster Russia’s economy through oil imports and has reinforced its strategic partnership with Moscow.
Humanitarian Situation
The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine remains severe. Over the last 24 hours, Russian airstrikes have claimed civilian lives, especially in Kryvyi Rih, where a missile attack killed 4 civilians and injured 31 others. Several other regions in Ukraine, including Kherson and Donetsk, have suffered from intense artillery bombardment, causing widespread damage to civilian infrastructure.
The UNHCR estimates that 6.8 million Ukrainian refugees have fled the country, while more than 10 million remain internally displaced. These numbers continue to rise, and the situation in occupied territories worsens, with reports of food and medical shortages.
To support those displaced, Ukraine and international organizations like UNHCR are focusing on providing emergency assistance, including cash transfers to families who have lost everything. The war continues to disrupt education and healthcare, with thousands of schools destroyed and hospitals overwhelmed by both military and civilian casualties.
Russia’s Plans and Strategy
Russia’s leadership has indicated its willingness to negotiate but continues to push its strategic objectives on the battlefield. While President Putin maintains his position that Russia’s military goals will be achieved, he is simultaneously preparing for a long-term conflict. The Kremlin has emphasized that it will not back down on its territorial gains, including the annexation of Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine.
Recent Russian military maneuvers indicate that Moscow is planning to fortify its positions and increase its military mobilization. According to intelligence reports, Russia is also seeking to expand its influence by leveraging its relationships with China and other non-Western nations.
In terms of military strategy, Russia is expected to maintain pressure on Ukraine through continued missile and drone strikes and will likely focus on defending its occupied territories. The Kremlin’s continued rhetoric of “proxy war” with the West suggests that Russia may use diplomacy as a cover while preparing for further escalation if needed.
Final Thoughts: As the war in Ukraine approaches its third year, both military and diplomatic landscapes are evolving. With major powers like the U.S., EU, and China involved, the situation remains unpredictable. Ukraine’s resilience, bolstered by international support, continues to be a driving force in the fight for sovereignty and peace.
