Since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which began in 2022, it has been more than three years to this day, from the first rapid offensive, to the ground war, to the counter-attack war, until now again to the ground war, the Russian and Ukrainian sides have been tired of this conflict.

For Russia, this is a battle of transportation, once Ukraine joins NATO, Russia's political and economic core will be fully exposed under NATO's perspective, Russia has no possibility of reversal. For Ukraine, it is a battle of survival, once Ukraine is defeated in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, in the future Ukraine will most likely no longer exist, so Ukraine can only do its best. And for NATO, they are happy to see the inner struggle of the Slavic nation, so for the relatively weak power of aid Ukraine, NATO is very willing, because this will prolong the conflict time and further weaken the potential of war between Russia and Ukraine.

At present, the main fighting area of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is the Red Army City area in Donetsk Oblast. Russia and Ukraine have deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in the Red Army City and its surrounding areas, with a strong intention of decisive battle. However, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not only in Donetsk Oblast. At present, the fighting area between Russia and Ukraine has spread all over the seven former states of Ukraine. Although the scale of the battle is not as large as when the conflict broke out in 2022, the strength and severity of the battle between the two sides are much higher than in 2022.

Let's start with Sumizhou, in the northernmost region,In 2024, the Ukrainian army suddenly crossed the border and attacked the Russian province of Kursk, occupying a large area centered on the town of Suzha. But with the Russian counterattack in 2025, successfully withdrawing the Ukrainian army from Kursk, the Ukrainian army could only be forced to withdraw from the native region of Sumy, while the Russian army also launched an offensive, occupying a buffer area of approximately 200 square kilometers of Sumy.

At present, the Russian and Ukrainian sides are still fighting in the northern province of Sumei, the Ukrainian army is to take back the northern region and re-attack Kursk, the Russian army is primarily to occupy the buffer zone, the purpose is not to allow the Ukrainian army to harass the Russian mainland.

Kharkov, this was the main counteroffensive area of the Ukrainian army in 2023, and it was also the area where the Russian army was defeated in September 2022. However, after entering 2024, the Ukrainian army mostly focused on defense in this area and rarely launched attacks.

At present, the Russian army in the region is taking the pattern of multi-point offensive. Northern Kharkov, the Volchansk region is the Russian control zone, but the Russian side has been fishing in the region for a long time, the Russian army will also launch an offensive, the Ukrainian army will also launch a counter-offensive, but the scale is not large. The purpose of the Russian army is not to allow the Ukrainian army to launch an offensive across the border, the purpose of the Ukrainian army is to prevent the Russian army from advancing, both take as needed.

In addition to the Volchansk region, Russian troops also launched an attack on Kharkiv across the Osky River and are currently attacking the city of Kupyansk. Moreover, some Russian troops invaded Kharkiv from the northern border area and occupied some villages and towns. The current combat intention is unclear.

LuganskThe region had previously been said by Russia to have been fully occupied, but the actual situation is that less than 100 square kilometers of land is under Ukrainian control.So the Russian military says 100% control of Lugansk is not right, but with the development of the fighting, the remaining Lugansk controlled area is also gradually shrinking, once the Russian army has expanded on the front of the fiery Betz river outpost, this point of control will be difficult to maintain.

Donetsk isAt present, the main battle area includes the hot Betz River outpost in the north, the target is Red Man and the Twin City. In the middle of the Red Army city and Konstantinovka (Constantinovka) in the southern region, the battle has basically ended, and the Russian army has now basically controlled all of the southern Donetsk region.

The battle here is more complicated, we will talk about it separately.

State of Nebraska.It was not part of the Russian army's offensive plan, but as the front advanced, in order to fully capture Donetsk Oblast and Zaporizhzhia Oblast Oblast, the Russian army's attack on Dnipro Oblast was inevitable.

At present, Russian troops are attacking Dnipro relatively slowly, concentrating mainly in the southern region of the Red Army city in the north, while Russian troops are attacking Dnipro and Zaporozhye from South Donetsk, the region's fronts advancing faster.

The hot zeppelin.The Russian army is currently attacking Zaporozhye in two directions, one is the central front, which has long remained unmoving, and one is the eastern front, which has just invaded Zaporozhye from Donetsk.

However, there is also a hot potato "Zaporo Thermal Nuclear Power Plant" in Zaporozhye, which is currently under Russian control, but is frequently attacked by the Ukrainians, and has now stopped operating.

Region of HelsinkiThanks to the blockade of the Dnipro, neither of the two sides regarded the area as a fighting focus, but the Ukrainian army from time to time sent special forces to cross the river into the Russian occupied area to harass the Russian army. The Russian army often used long-range cannon or FAB flying guided bombs to bomb the controlled area.

These are the seven states where the war is underway. The key point still depends on the outcome of Donetsk Oblast. If the Russian army occupies all Donetsk Oblast, it can attack Kharkiv north or advance westward to Dnipror. If the Ukrainian army wins, it will be a battle to turn the tide of the war.
