"At some point I think things will look good for a proper Ukrainian counter-offensive but am I being too hopeful? I don't know, I'm just trying to piece the pieces and jigsaw together here."
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides an overview of how his frontline map works, with red lines indicating pro-Russian positions, blue lines pro-Ukrainian positions, and a white line showing Russian defensive lines as of May 30th before the counter-offensive began. He notes that Ukrainian gains within the "grey zone" between defensive lines may not always show as changes to Russian lines.

Wrap Up
Jonathan summarizes that things are generally looking positive for Ukraine. The consistent degradation of Russian logistics, command, morale and artillery capacity in the south may eventually lead to a "breaking point" that allows for a proper Ukrainian counter-offensive, though he questions if he's being too hopeful. Viewer feedback is requested on this assessment.
