Kupyansk to Svatove to Kreminna Front

  • Russians have been shelling an ammonia pipeline in the Kupyansk area, with reports of leaks that could cause serious ecological issues
  • Very limited news about what is happening along this front line, just the usual kind of back-and-forth around Kreminna and Berestove
  • Some claims about Ukrainians making limited gains around Stelmakhivka near Svatove, but no confirmation yet

Bakhmut Area

  • Significant gains reported for Ukrainians in the northern Bakhmut area
  • Fierce battles ongoing for Berkhivka reservoir area and Zaliznyanske
  • Claims Ukrainians are attacking Berkhivka from the west, which would mean they control more territory than some maps show
  • Rebar, a pro-Russian source, admits Ukrainian forces are biting into Russian defenses and counter-attacking the flanks of Bakhmut
  • Ukrainians putting pressure on Russians in southwestern outskirts of Bakhmut city itself
  • South of Bakhmut, Ukrainians have taken an important part of the forest strip north of Klishchiivka, threatening a key Russian supply route

Avdiivka Front

  • Fighting reported in the villages of Opytne and Vodyane near Avdiivka
  • Ukrainian forces said to be pushing into both villages
  • 12 Russian assaults were repelled by Ukrainians in the Marinka area
  • Chechen forces that recently replaced Russian "Stormz" assault elements in Marinka have lost enthusiasm after encountering heavy Ukrainian resistance

Southern Fronts

  • Not much change to report in Zaporizhzhia and southern Donetsk regions
  • Back-and-forth claims around villages like Novodarivka, Neskuchne, Novodonets'ke
  • Some possible Ukrainian activity south of Orikhiv and near Mala Tokmachka
  • A lot of news focused on the Kakhovka dam disaster in Kherson, which is a massive ecological issue
  • The flooding will prevent Ukrainians from attempting any counterattacks across the Dnipro River for a couple weeks
  • This may allow Russia to redeploy some forces from Kherson to Zaporizhzhia front

Wrap Up

Jonathan notes that as the Ukrainian counteroffensive unfolds, information will be limited and spun by both sides. The fog of war means accuracy is difficult. He reminds viewers to be careful about drawing conclusions and thanks them for watching.

🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand

I wasn't sure about the exact spelling of some of the town/village names mentioned. I did my best to spell them phonetically based on Jonathan's pronunciation. There were a couple parts where Jonathan mentioned names or terms I wasn't familiar with, like "Stormz assault elements" that I included verbatim. Not sure if that refers to a specific Russian unit.
