"The battle for Bakhmut is important not only for the enemy but also for us. For several months in this area, we have been holding back the enemy's offensive and preventing them from expanding their front line. In addition, we are inflicting significant losses on the enemy by destroying their most powerful units, weapons and military equipment."

Hello Team!

Jonathan provides an overview of the current situation on the frontlines in Ukraine, starting with the ISW's assessment that Putin would remain unwilling to negotiate even in response to a successful Ukrainian counter-offensive. Ukrainian forces are achieving impressive results in counter-battery combat against Russian forces on the Russian-occupied eastern left bank of the Dnipro river.
