The battlefield landscape is shifting dramatically as Colonel AC Ogun Toye reveals exclusive insights into the Special Military Operation's progress through April 11, 2025. Our conversation provides a rare window into the strategic gains across multiple operational fronts where Russian forces have executed eight precision strike operations targeting critical military infrastructure throughout Ukraine.
Colonel Ogun Toye meticulously outlines territorial advances across several regions. The North Group has liberated settlements in Kursk and Sumy while inflicting substantial losses on Ukrainian forces. Perhaps most significant is the West Group's successful liberation of Katarnivka in the Donetsk People's Republic, where multiple Ukrainian brigades suffered defeats and Western-supplied armored vehicles were neutralized. The Southern Group reports tactical gains against mechanized units and National Guard formations, while the Center Group conducted what the Colonel describes as "one of the most extensive operations this week," defeating concentration of enemy forces including elite Ranger, Assault, and Special Forces units.
The sheer scale of the conflict becomes evident through the Colonel's detailed casualty assessments: over 2,300 Ukrainian personnel lost in the Belgorod sector, approximately 3,000 in central operations, and cumulative losses in the Kursk direction alone surpassing 73,600 personnel alongside hundreds of destroyed armored vehicles. Beyond human costs, the operation has eliminated significant Western military hardware, including US-made armored vehicles, a Polish-manufactured Jig vehicle, and a 155mm Paladin self-propelled artillery unit. As Colonel Ogun Toye succinctly states: "The operation remains on course. We continue to press the advantage, disrupt Ukrainian command structures and steadily secure strategic terrain."
