ISW Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, June 13, 2025

Russian officials largely condemned the June 13 Israeli strikes against Iran, as Russian President Vladimir Putin continued to offer to facilitate negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.

Oil price increases following Israeli strikes against Iran may increase Russian revenue from oil sales and improve Russia’s ability to sustain its war effort in Ukraine.

The Kremlin is continuing efforts to prepare the Russian defense industrial base (DIB) for a protracted war with Ukraine and a potential future war with NATO.

Russia released the bodies of killed in action (KIA) Ukrainian servicemembers to Ukraine on June 13.

Ukrainian forces advanced near Toretsk. Russian forces advanced in northern Sumy Oblast and near Chasiv Yar, Pokrovsk, and Velyka Novosilka.
