As the war in Ukraine enters its 1072nd day, the battlefield remains as volatile as ever. The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to repel relentless Russian offensives across multiple fronts while striking deep into Russian-held territory, targeting critical infrastructure supporting the invasion. The past 48 hours have witnessed intense combat engagements, large-scale drone attacks, and continued Ukrainian strategic countermeasures. With over 193 combat clashes recorded in a single day, the war rages on with ferocity, testing the resilience of Ukrainian defenders and the endurance of Russian aggression.
The Frontline: Battles Across Ukraine
Kharkiv and Kupiansk: Defensive Lines Hold Firm
In the Kharkiv direction, Russian forces attempted a breakthrough near Kozacha Lopan, but Ukrainian troops successfully repelled the advance. Kupiansk, a highly contested sector, saw 14 separate attacks near settlements like Petropavlivka, Novosynove, and Kolisnykivka, all of which were thwarted. The Liman sector remains another flashpoint, with 26 Russian assaults reported near Novehorivka, Kopanky, Makiyivka, and Yampilivka. The battle for dominance in this area has intensified, but Ukrainian defenses are holding strong.
Siversk and Kramatorsk: A Brutal Battle for Control
On the Siversk front, Russian troops launched six attacks, two of which are ongoing near Verkhnokamianske. Meanwhile, in the Kramatorsk sector, Ukrainian soldiers repelled 10 attacks near Novomarkove, Chasiv Yar, and Stupochky, demonstrating the tactical rigidity of Ukrainian formations despite sustained pressure from Russian forces.
Toretsk and Pokrovsk: The Deadliest Clashes
The Toretsk direction has become one of the deadliest battlegrounds, with 15 Russian assaults reported near Krymske and Toretsk, accompanied by aerial bombings on Kostiantynivka using guided munitions (KABs). The Pokrovsk front saw an astonishing 67 Russian attacks in just 24 hours, targeting Vodyane Druhe, Yelyzavetivka, and Myroliubivka. As of the latest reports, two battles in this sector remain unresolved, highlighting the brutal and prolonged nature of these engagements.
Southern Fronts: Holding Back the Russian Advance
In the Novopavlivka direction, Russian troops attempted to storm Ukrainian positions six times near Rozliv and Novocheretuvate, but all assaults were repelled. Ukrainian forces are maintaining defensive positions, preventing Russian troops from breaking through towards strategic urban centers. Meanwhile, in the Huliaipole sector, Russian forces launched five attacks on Novosilka, while the Dnipro front saw continued engagements, with Ukrainian forces fending off one major Russian assault.

Ukrainian Counterstrikes: Precision Attacks on Russian Infrastructure
Ukrainian intelligence and strike teams continue to disrupt Russia’s logistical and military infrastructure. In the early hours of January 29th, Ukraine’s military executed a drone strike on the Nizhny Novgorod Oil Refinery in Kstovo, a critical asset supplying fuel to Russia’s occupying forces. This resulted in a massive fire at the facility, dealing a strategic blow to Russia’s war machine.
Ukraine’s military doctrine has increasingly focused on deep-strike operations, targeting fuel depots, logistical hubs, and command centers inside Russia to weaken the enemy’s operational capabilities. The full extent of the refinery damage is still being assessed, but the attack underscores Ukraine’s ability to strike deep into enemy-controlled territory.

Aerial Warfare: Russia’s Massive Drone Assaults and Ukrainian Air Defense Successes
The past 48 hours have seen some of the largest Russian drone attacks in recent weeks, with Russia deploying over 157 Shahed drones and various UAVs from multiple launch sites, including Kursk, Millerovo, Crimea, and Primosrko-Akhtarsk.
Ukraine’s air defense forces have successfully intercepted 94 enemy drones, including 29 Shahed UAVs on January 29 alone. In addition to UAV swarms, Russia launched a ballistic Iskander-M missile from Crimea, targeting key Ukrainian cities.
Despite Ukraine’s strong air defense performance, some drones managed to reach Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Sumy, causing damage to civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, and industrial zones. Thankfully, no mass casualties were reported, and emergency services are actively responding to affected areas.
Russia’s Persistent Strategy: Massing Troops for Future Assaults
Intelligence reports from DeepState indicate that Russian forces are shifting their focus towards troop buildup and regrouping rather than immediate large-scale attacks. The Rozdolne-Zelenivka-Sukhi Yaly axis has seen significant enemy troop concentration, suggesting an upcoming offensive in the region.
Near Novovasylivka, a column of 70 Russian troops was observed preparing for an assault on Uspenivka, further confirming Russia’s preference for attritional warfare and high manpower commitments to advance on entrenched Ukrainian positions.

Despite these efforts, Ukrainian forces remain resilient, using a combination of precision artillery, drone strikes, and tactical maneuvering to disrupt Russian troop movements and prevent breakthroughs.
Broader Implications: The War’s Escalation and Global Response
As fighting intensifies, the geopolitical stakes continue to rise. Western military aid remains crucial in sustaining Ukraine’s defense operations, with the ongoing supply of air defense systems, precision missiles, and armored vehicles playing a pivotal role in thwarting Russian advances.
NATO officials have reiterated their commitment to strengthening Ukraine’s capabilities, emphasizing the necessity of long-range strike options and advanced defensive technologies. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s allies are closely monitoring Russia’s escalating air campaign, particularly its use of Shahed drones and guided bombs, as a potential sign of further intensification.
Conclusion: Ukraine Stands Strong Amid the Onslaught
Despite relentless Russian attacks, Ukrainian defenders continue to demonstrate unbreakable resolve on the battlefield. From Kharkiv to Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia to the Dnipro, they hold firm, repelling assaults and launching counterstrikes deep into enemy territory.
As the war reaches Day 1072, Ukraine’s endurance, strategic precision, and international support remain critical factors in countering Russia’s aggression. The world watches as Ukraine defends not just its sovereignty, but the principles of freedom and resistance against tyranny.
