Deepening the Pressure: Colonel Oguntoye Breaks Down the December 4, 2025 Battlespace

Welcome back to "Frontline Updates", where we translate daily battlefield briefings into clear, strategic insight. Today we cover developments from December 4, 2025, a day marked by steady Russian advances and targeted strikes across all major operational groupings.

From mechanized battles in Sumy and Kharkiv, to attritional pressure across Donetsk, to deeper penetrations in Zaporizhzhia, Russian forces expanded their tactical footprint while simultaneously striking at Ukraine’s airfields, UAV launch sites, transport corridors, and energy infrastructure. Air defenses intercepted nearly 200 UAVs, and the Black Sea Fleet neutralized unmanned boats operating off Ukraine’s coast.

To help unpack these developments, we’re joined once again by Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, who will guide us sector by sector through what changed, why it matters, and what signals to watch as winter intensifies.
