Welcome to "Frontline Updates". I’m your host. Today’s briefing, dated April 14, 2026, shows a Russian campaign that has fully integrated electronic warfare into its daily attrition strategy. In the last 24 hours, Russian forces destroyed at least nine Ukrainian electronic warfare stations, including two Bukovel systems in the SOUTH sector, along with six ammunition depots and over a dozen materiel depots. Ukrainian losses exceeded 1,180 troops. Air defense shot down 391 drones, 14 guided bombs, and, significantly, six HIMARS rockets. In the Black Sea, two naval drones were destroyed. From the northern border to the Dnepr river, Russian forces continue to systematically degrade Ukraine’s ability to see, communicate, and strike. To help us understand the operational logic, we’re joined by Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, an Infantry Officer with deep combined arms experience. Colonel, thank you for being with us.

Today’s numbers highlight a critical shift: electronic warfare is no longer a supporting arm, it is a main effort. The destruction of nine EW stations in one day creates gaps in the Ukrainian defense that no amount of Western artillery can fill. This is how you win a modern war.
