Ukraine’s Defense & Military Developments (1/2)
>>> Commander of the National Guard Oleksandr Pivnenko gave a full-length interview that set priorities for 2025–2026: rotation on hot sectors, mass UAV production, and layered air defense so units remain mobile and technologically ahead across multiple fronts.

>>> Ukraine’s Air Assault Forces liberated the village of Sukhetske on the Pokrovsk axis and secured positions; units reported captured Russian personnel and prepared logistics for further actions toward key heights west of Pokrovsk.

>>> Ukrainian paratroopers reported the liberation of Sukhyi Yar near Pokrovsk; forces consolidated on new lines and repelled several counterattacks, which improved the flank situation in this sector.

>>> A Ukrainian strike group destroyed a Russian S-300/400 launcher on the eastern front; the loss reduced local enemy air-defense cover and opened a window for follow-on UAV and missile operations.

>>> A Border Guard UAV unit destroyed two Russian tanks, a vehicle, an antenna, and an electronic-warfare system during night raids; the result demonstrated effective small-UAV tactics against armor and communications.
