Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on modern warfare continues with another video on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine with the updates of December 2025. In this update on the war in Ukraine, we examine the latest military, economic, and diplomatic developments shaping the conflict as it approaches its fourth year. We begin on the battlefield around Kupiansk, where Russian authorities prematurely declared victory, only for Ukrainian forces to launch a successful counteroffensive that cut supply lines, liberated surrounding villages, and left Russian troops encircled inside the town. From there, we assess developments across the Donbas front, including fighting near Lyman, Siversk, Pokrovsk, and Huliaipole, and explain why some Russian territorial gains carry limited strategic value despite heavy costs. The video then shifts to long-range warfare, analyzing Russia’s intensified strikes on Ukraine’s power grid and Ukraine’s expanding campaign against Russian oil infrastructure, refineries, and naval assets. These attacks highlight the growing role of drones, sea drones, and underwater systems in modern warfare. We also explore the mounting strain on Russia’s economy, from rising inflation and shrinking energy revenues to pressure on the military-industrial complex and manpower recruitment. Finally, we break down the current state of diplomacy, peace proposals, Western security guarantees, EU financial support, and why the Kremlin continues to reject negotiations while betting on time and attrition.
