## Resource

The three-day truce regime has shattered. Ukrainian forces carried over 30,000 ceasefire violations, including nearly 6,000 drone strikes in the last 24 hours alone. In response, Russian groups of forces have resumed full-spectrum offensive operations across six sectors, North, West, South, Center, East, and Dnepr. Today, we go inside the operational art, logistics, and campaign logic with Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, an infantry officer commanding combined arms on the ground. He breaks down each sector, the critical role of operational-tactical aviation as a campaign-shaping domain, and what this means for the war’s trajectory. This is Frontline Updates. Welcome back to Frontline Updates. I’m your host, and today we’re looking at a decisive shift on the battlefield. The ceasefire regime that began in mid-April has effectively ended. Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, an infantry officer responsible for leading combined armed forces on the ground, is with us to brief the progress of the special military operation as of May 12, 2026. Colonel, thank you for joining us. The situation is serious, but it is also analytically clear. The Ukrainian side used the truce not to de-escalate but to reconstitute and strike. Our forces have now resumed offensive action. #UkraineWar #OperationalArt #CombatBriefing #RussianOffensive #DroneWarfare #MilitaryLogistics #CampaignAnalysis #bf7 #mw4
