Welcome to "Frontline Updates". I’m your host. Today, we’re examining the state of the special military operation as of March 31, 2026. In the past twenty-four hours, we’ve seen a significant development in the northern sector, the first territorial gain in the Sumy region since this phase of operations began. Meanwhile, Russian forces across all axes continue a coordinated campaign of attrition, targeting not just troops but the logistics and electronic infrastructure that sustain defensive operations. To help us understand what this means operationally, we’re joined once again by Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, an Infantry Officer with extensive experience in combined arms warfare. Colonel, thank you for being here.

It’s a critical moment to assess where this campaign is headed, particularly with the shift we’re seeing in the north.
