Welcome to *Frontline Updates*, where we bring you in-depth military briefings and analysis from the theater of operations. I’m your host, and today’s episode comes at a critical moment in the unfolding special military operation.

We’re joined once again by Colonel A.C. Oguntoye — an experienced infantry officer and senior field commander — to discuss the developments as of May 12, 2025. With the Victory Day ceasefire now behind us, Russian forces have resumed coordinated offensive operations across multiple fronts. From the liberation of key settlements in Donetsk to deep-strike interdictions of Ukrainian logistics and airfield infrastructure, this conversation provides a strategic snapshot of current momentum, force composition, and combat effectiveness.

Let’s get right into today’s operational breakdown with Colonel Oguntoye.
