First fiber‑optic FPV drone reaches Kharkiv, prosecutors say

Ukraine’s Kharkiv region reports a Russian FPV drone reached the city via a fiber‑optic cable for the first time since the full‑scale invasion. The drone hit a tree in the Kyivskyi district around 3 p.m. on Feb. 25; no casualties were reported, and the Kharkiv regional prosecutor’s office opened a pre‑trial investigation. Fiber‑optic FPV drones extend range and can evade electronic warfare, with countermeasures mainly limited to physical destruction or obstruction; Kharkiv’s proximity to Russian‑occupied areas makes this development notable in the evolving drone warfare.

Russia’s Ukraine Campaign Stalls at Centuries-Long Slow Pace, CSIS Finds

A CSIS analysis shows Russia’s advance in Ukraine is occurring at the slowest pace in more than a century of warfare, with gains in eastern Ukraine measured in mere metres per day (as low as 15 m/day at Chasiv Yar and about 23 m/day near Kupiansk). Overall territory captured in 2024 and 2025 is tiny (about 0.6% in 2024 and 0.8% in 2025), while casualties exceed 1.2 million. The report argues Moscow is paying a heavy price for minimal gains, despite assertions of battlefield momentum amid renewed peace talks; Washington’s security guarantees for Ukraine appear contingent on Kyiv making concessions.
