Last night, Russia carried out a large-scale Geran-2 drone attack on Odesa City. At least 30 drones were used in total, in two waves.
The first wave consisted of about 22 drones and struck targets at the Odesa Port and the northwestern suburbs of the city. The second wave consisted of about 8 drones and attacked targets at/near the oil terminal in the Peresypskyi District.
Approximately one-third of the drones were shot down by Ukrainian air defence.

Russian cruise missile of an unidentified type flying to Pavlohrad, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, from the northeast.
Looks like an Iskander-K. It is flying low.

Russian drone activity on Ukrainian logistics on the important Zaporizhzhia-Orikhiv highway in Komyshuvakha. No anti-drone nets have been installed on this stretch, if at all.

The battle of Rai-Oleksandrivka has begun. This will be one of the most important battles for Spring 2026 as it paves the way for a further Russian advance to the outskirts of Slovyansk.
Currently, the first Russian soldiers have managed to enter the eastern-most houses of Rai-Oleksandrivka. However, the most important areas right now are on the flanks, where Russian progress has largely stalled.
Ukrainian forces are actively counterattacking on the southern (left) flank to the town, attempting to clear the villages of Lypivka, Nykyforivka, and Fedorivka Druha. Russia is trying to develop their offensive in the surrounding forested areas, and is utilising small groups of infiltrators along the Bakhmut - Slovyansk Highway up to the Siverskyi-Donets Canal.
On the northern (right) flank to the town, Russia firmly maintains the initiative, however is struggling to consolidate in the fields and forested areas south of Kryva Luka. Capturing Kryva Luka and the nearby tactical heights is crucial to supporting the assault on Rai-Oleksandrivka, as any stable Ukrainian positions being left along the southern bank of the Siverskyi Donets River, especially on the hills there, would threaten the entire Russian operation. However, due to recent successes in and around Kalenyky and Riznykivka, clearing operations in the fields surrounding Kryva Luka will now be less complicated.
Once Rai-Oleksandrivka falls, the path to the neighbouring city of Mykolaivka will be open. I expect we will see an intensification of attacks from the southern flank, utilising the tactical height ridgeline which the Siverskyi Donets Canal runs along all the way to Mykolaivka. Mykolaivka is effectively the "gateway" to Slovyansk itself.
Meanwhile, the neighbouring Lyman direction is also affecting this sector. Russian advances along the northern bank of the Siverskyi Donets River allows them to threaten fortified Ukrainian positions on the southern bank of the river that protect the northern (right) flank of Rai-Oleksandrivka. Ukraine is actively attempting to disrupt this by counterattacking east of Lyman and in and around Yampil-Ozerne.
