"Russophobia is all that you have achieved with your stupid actions."
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides his usual opening update on Russian losses according to Ukrainian figures. Despite the usual caveats about propaganda and inaccuracies, he believes the figures are indicatively useful for identifying trends. The losses for the previous day included 700 liquidated personnel, 5 tanks, 16 APCs, 9 artillery systems, 2 anti-aircraft warfare systems, 1 UAV, 8 vehicles and fuel tanks, and 3 pieces of special equipment.

🪦 DISCLAIMER FOR GENERAL STAFF LOSSES DATA
- These are real people with real lives and real families who love them. Don’t let the numbers sap your humanity.
- These numbers probably aren’t accurate but they’re the best we have and we don’t need them to be accurate to be indicative of patterns of activity.
- All losses are estimates. Losses cannot be counted with accuracy because of the conditions on the ground.
- Both sides would see it to be of their advantage to minimize their own losses maximize the other side’s losses.
- Neither side releases their losses but we have enough transparency from the Ukrainian side to have confidence in they are indicative.
- Personnel losses are hard to count. If a soldier gets injured, heals up, and returns to the front line only to get injured again, is that one loss or two? Also, how to deal with losses from PMC’s or soldiers fighting with RF from occupied territories?
- Equipment losses are hard to count. If an AA complex involves several parts and one part gets disabled, is that a loss, or a fraction of a loss? If a tank gets disabled, repaired, back into the fight, then disabled again, is that one lost tank or two?
- All recorded losses are vulnerable to multiple reporting. We have already seen numerous cases of multiple drones in the air reporting the same loss from different angles as multiple engagements.
- Losses are not always reported on the same day they occurred. It is frequent that drone losses are reported at least 24 hours after other terrestrial equipment losses. Certain losses may not be reported for days or weeks for military intelligence reasons.
Visual Evidence of Russian Losses
Jonathan presents visual evidence to support the accuracy of the Ukrainian figures:
- Footage of a Ka-52 helicopter being shot down by what appears to be a MANPAD missile
- Ukrainian Air Force struck 3 Buk M1-2 anti-aircraft systems, 7 areas of concentrated Russian personnel, and 1 ammunition depot
- Footage showing the destruction of multiple Russian BMPs and tanks
Ukrainian Losses
Jonathan also acknowledges Ukrainian losses, specifically mentioning a reconnaissance attack in the Zaporizhzhia area near Robotyne where they lost several Dutch YPR-765 APCs.

Partisan Activity in Kherson
There has been significant partisan activity in the Kherson region:
- A collaborator serving as commander of the patrol service in occupied Novokokovka district was killed by an explosion
- The commander of a platoon of Russian security forces in Skadovsk was targeted in a similar car bombing
- Ukrainian artillery destroyed a Russian base near Dnipro in the Kherson region, close to the Kakhovka dam
Drone Warfare
Jonathan discusses the use of drones in the conflict:
- Footage shows a Russian jet circling a Bayraktar TB2 drone in a similar manner to the alleged harassment of the US Reaper drone, demonstrating that this is not an isolated incident
- Russian air defence allegedly shot down a Ukrainian drone in the Tula region of Russia, 200km from Moscow, but the type of drone is unknown
Bakhmut Update
- Footage of a possible JDAM bomb strike on a building north of Bakhmut in Yahidne, causing significant damage
- Ukraine repelled almost 70 assaults yesterday, down from 83 the previous day, potentially indicating the Russian offensive is losing momentum
- Ukrainian spokesman Serhiy Cherevaty stated that Russia has already failed in its operation to capture Bakhmut
International Response
- The US considers a truce in Ukraine unacceptable at the moment, possibly hinting at an anticipated Ukrainian counter-offensive
- Germany has confirmed it will arrest Vladimir Putin if he travels there following the ICC arrest warrant
- Moldova plans to impose sanctions on 25 individuals involved in the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Military Aid and Training
- Footage shows Ukrainian soldiers training on various Western-provided equipment, including MRAPs
- The EU is seeking to provide 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine, with member states expected to jointly purchase ammunition and reimburse countries that give from their own stocks
- A group of Ukrainian soldiers finished training in Italy on the SAMP/T air defence system
- Croatia provided demining systems to Ukraine, which are now in use in the Kherson region
Kazakhstan's Response to Russian Threats
Aman Shurev, a Kazakh journalist, delivered a strong rebuke to threats made by the Russian ambassador to Kazakhstan:
- He warned that any Russian attempt to conduct a "special military operation" in Kazakhstan, similar to Ukraine, would be met with fierce resistance
- Shurev accused Russian propagandists of sowing Russophobia through their actions and statements
- Kazakhstan has also impounded property of Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, due to lack of payment, further demonstrating the deterioration of relations
Disinformation on Twitter
Jonathan expresses concern about the spread of disinformation on Twitter under Elon Musk's leadership:
- The removal of moderation and the introduction of paid verification (Twitter Blue) has led to an increase in disinformation
- Russian disinformation entities are more likely to pay for verification, giving them a greater voice on the platform
- An AP report found that pro-Moscow voices attempted to steer the debate surrounding the Ohio train derailment, capitalizing on the reduced moderation on Twitter
Wrap up
Jonathan concludes by mentioning Dmitry Medvedev's suggestion to strike the ICC building in The Hague with a hypersonic missile, highlighting the extreme rhetoric from Russian politicians. He thanks viewers for watching and encourages them to like, subscribe, and share the video.
