"If something has been confirmed this month, it is that the dynamism of the fronts that we could observe at the end of last year will probably not be repeated, but that the dialectic of the static war will prevail."
Hello Team!
Jonathan starts by sharing an overview of the frontlines from pro-Russian mapper Syriac Maps, who claims the Ukrainian counteroffensive has only recaptured approximately 212 square kilometres in the first month at a high cost. Jonathan questions some of Syriac Maps' assertions and notes that the dynamism of last year's Kharkiv counteroffensive was not expected to be repeated.
