Frontline Updates: 08-29-2025 Breaking the Lines: Weekly Progress of the Russian Special Military Operation

Welcome to "Frontline Updates". In this episode, we speak with Colonel A.C. Oguntoye about the week’s operations, August 23 through 29, 2025. Over seven days, Russian forces carried out precision strikes on Ukraine’s missile stockpiles, UAV assembly centers, and fuel depots, while liberating multiple settlements across Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk.

We explore the liberation of Srednee, Kleban-Byk, Nelepovka, Filya, Pervoe Maya, and Zaporozhskoe; the destruction of Ukraine’s reconnaissance ship "Simferopol"; and the continued erosion of Ukrainian manpower, equipment, and logistics. Colonel Oguntoye breaks down the tactical successes of each troop group, explains the operational doctrine underpinning the campaign, and assesses how Ukraine’s defenses are being methodically dismantled.

We also examine the growing role of electronic warfare suppression and unmanned maritime systems in shaping the battlefield. This is "Frontline Updates"—your detailed briefing on the evolving operational picture.
