Welcome to "Frontline Updates", the podcast where daily battlefield briefings are unpacked through the lens of operational doctrine and campaign design. I’m your host, and today’s episode is based directly on the official briefing issued on December 24, 2025. Joining us once again is "Colonel A.C. Oguntoye", an infantry officer responsible for leading soldiers at all levels of command and for delivering authoritative operational summaries. Today’s discussion reflects a high-intensity reporting period marked by continued encirclement in central Donetsk, steady advances in the east, sustained pressure across northern and western axes, and a pronounced expansion of air defense and deep-strike activity. As always, this conversation treats the briefing as definitive and focuses on explaining how today’s actions fit into the wider campaign. #CombatBriefing #MilitarySituationReport #OperationalAnalysis #Donetsk #Kharkiv #Zaporizhia #CombinedArms #StrategicAssessment #bf6 #mw3
