#Ukraine
At around 9 pm on March 31, the Russian Federation fired two X-59/69 controlled missiles from tactical aircraft in the occupied part of the Ukrainian region of Zaporizh
Both missiles were shot down by air defense.
During the night, there were no flight alerts due to UAVs or so-called inactive drones.
Despite the absence of a massive drone attack,

Russian attacks on Ukrainian territories continued: Russian troops shelled Nikopol from evening to morning with artillery and drones.
Russian forces hit Yunakovo in the Ukrainian region of Sumy, resulting in one person being injured.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that three Ukrainian drones were shot down over the Russian region of Bryansk during the night.
**Kursk region:* No new incidents were reported.

** Belgorod region: ** Ukrainian forces advanced in the central part of Demidovka and its eastern outskirts.
Position battles are ongoing in the Popovka area.
The Ukrainian air force hit a Russian stronghold in the region.
**Northern Front:** After a Ukrainian drone attacked a Russian border post, one person was injured near the village of Kurkovichi in the Starodub district.

Drones also attacked a post of FSB officials near the village of Sushany in Klimov district, injuring two border guards.
Near the village of Novye Jurkovichi in Klimov district, another Russian border guard was injured.
In the Sumy region, Russian units storm the eastern part of Basivka and the central part of Zjuravka, where Ukrainian forces repelled the attack with FPV drones.
The situation at the Russian bridgehead along the Oskil River is not as serious as some reports suggest, as the

Russians cannot build any crossings over the river and can only cross with rubber boats - which are exposed to Ukrainian FPV drones.
**Eastern Front:** 14 people were injured in a Ukrainian attack that also hit a tram in central Horlivka, which is under Russian occupation.
Due to damage to overhead power lines and repair work, tram traffic in the city is temporarily stopped.

The Russians have entered the village of Rozlyv in the Constantinople district and are trying to eliminate Ukrainian positions by destroying buildings, only to find Ukrainian troops waiting for them.
The situation in Pokrovsk, Chasiv Yar and Toretsk districts has not changed significantly.
**Southern Front:** Yesterday the Russian army carried out 226 attacks on 13 settlements in the Zaporizhia region.

One person was killed and five people were injured in a Russian attack on Malokaterinovka.

### Duty of defense in Russia
Media in Russia express concern about the upcoming military conscription, which happens every year at this time.
This is nothing new - the media only plays on the emotions of the ignorant.
The planned number of military personnel this year is 160,000.
In 2011, 203,000 people were drafted, in 2012 the number was 155,500, in spring 2023 it was 147,000 and in spring 2024 it was 150,000.

Despite Russian authorities claiming that military personnel are not sent to fight in Ukraine, there are several reports to the contrary:
Some conscripts sign contracts without always understanding the consequences, while others end up in war zones after their military service is over.

There is a lot going on in and around the Pokrovsk front. It's always a new situation every time I visit the devices, the front is bubbling. To understand what is really happening and what the trends are, you have to visit the devices and listen to what the guys are saying. It's impossible to sit 1000 km away and study the situation maps

and think you know how the units think and what the next stage is. I can sometimes fall into this trap even though I'm there once a month. In this update I will try to give a picture of what the situation is right now, which is a mix of defense and offense. Ryzzen has problems, big problems, but that doesn't mean he doesn't try to counterattack or run away.

Another thing I want to bring up in this report is the absence of coordinated voluntary help.
Let me start with the military part. There are huge differences in resources between the different units, some get everything they point at and others get barely functioning weapons. Let me take Vadim's unit, where you have a young commander who is thinking about minimizing the risk to his guys.

He has decided, and rightly so, that in the positions absolutely no radio should be used to communicate with the command center. This is because the Ryzzers have sophisticated radio tracking systems that often give the exact position of where our boys are. Instead, with his own money he has bought 2 Star Link systems and also pays with his own money the monthly fee, which is $100 a month.

. The commander is only 27 years old, but he is also successful and someone who cares about his men.
Other units on their side have more equipment and maintenance than they need. In addition, they are constantly being offered more by volunteers. The lack of equipment means that Vadim's unit doesn't have the ability to go on the offensive, just hold the lines and knock out the meat cleaver attacks. The drone I sent them 3 weeks ago has already saved them many times.

The drone was planned to have 9 drop grenades, but they have changed the drop mechanism to handle 1 10 kg bomb. Thanks to this, it was possible to knock out an armored vehicle that was on its way to their position, as there is only 250 m between the drone and ours. They made the bomb themselves, which has many similarities with the bomb the Finns made in the war with

the Soviet Union, in Finnish it is called “kasapanos” (can't find the Swedish term). This is a simple but very effective explosive charge.
They have also developed their own system for signal rockets, they throw light sticks. Therefore, getting a whole box of them from me and Nils made me very happy. As I reported yesterday, Vadim was in position for 39 days in a row, the last four days without food and water. Right now Nils and his gang are communicating with Vadim's unit how

to equip the robot that will be given to them to serve them to the maximum. How soon we can deliver depends on how quickly we receive funds and donations for it.
Ryzzen is planning a summer offensive against Kherson and Odesa, how they will be able to gather resources for it. Therefore, it's very important that our Pokrovsk offensive starts before that. The soldiers' biggest fear is that ammunition and

spare parts for the American weapons will run out, and they all agree that the offensive will fail. European countries have no chance of supplying alternative weapons and ammunition.
The situation at Pokrovsk as a whole is completely under control, but not all units can participate in an offensive. This is what ryzz knows and you attack violently against these units that are only

in a defensive position. By doing this, you want to achieve a breakthrough and force us to distribute our offensive units. It's a witch's cloak right now.
Then we also delivered equipment to the field hospital in Slovenia and to the stabilization unit in Lyman. You were particularly fond of the electronic surgeon's knives. You have different needs on different occasions when volunteers come with equipment, you want to go through the load and
