📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Northeast Sector (Kupiansk to Svatove to Kreminna)
- No territorial changes according to the mappers Jonathan references
- A Russian T-90M tank was destroyed by a Ukrainian ATGM near Makivka, north of Kreminna
- The tank's location supports both defensive line claims by Andrew Perpetua and Syriac Maps
- ISW reports Russian forces have advanced within 2km of Makivka
- Russian milbloggers make competing claims about advances near Makivka, some inconsistent with ISW
- Russians aim to push Ukrainians to the west bank of the Oskil River, an unlikely near-term objective
- Increased use of aviation by Russians in the Kupiansk-Lyman direction to compensate for lack of artillery
Bakhmut Area
- Russian gains around Vesele area
- Fighting along railway line northwest of Soledar where Russians claim to have captured high ground positions
- 25 Russian tanks destroyed in 4 days by Ukrainian 66th Brigade, including a T-90, in the Lyman direction
- Ukrainians attacking northeast of Bakhmut towards Zelenopillia to bypass Kurdish Mivka
- Decreased Ukrainian movements due to deteriorating weather conditions and heavy rain inhibiting aerial reconnaissance
- Russians counterattacking on northern flank of Bakhmut
Avdiivka Area
- Russian gains south of Avdiivka, north of Spartak, pushing across the main road
- First Russian advance on this axis since 2022 according to Syriac Maps
- Ukrainian infantry spotted 300m from Novopropivka, geolocated footage shows them behind Syriac Maps' Russian line but ahead of Andrew Perpetua's
- 20 Russian assaults repelled by Ukrainians near Avdiivka, Pervomaiske, Marinka, Krasnohorivka and Novomykhailivka
- Russian attacks meant to distract and fix Ukrainian forces, preventing their transfer to Zaporizhzhia
- Small Russian advances north of Marinka after a week of intense combat
Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Fronts
- Ukrainians advancing towards Kopani, west of Robotyne, to create a bigger buffer on Robotyne's western flank and hit the rear of Nesteryanka
- Russian forces strengthening defences around Tokmak, now a fortress surrounded by circular defensive lines
- Ukrainians need to reach a position ~60km from Tokmak to safely hit the M14 highway with HIMARS and threaten Russian supply lines
- Ukrainian SSO units attempted 3 times to land near Enerhodar to create a bridgehead for liberating the city and nuclear power plant, but failed to gain a foothold
- Possible minor Ukrainian gains around Antonivsky Bridge area in Kherson
- Rumours of imminent Ukrainian offensive along the Dnipro River in Kherson, but this may be contingent on greater success in Zaporizhzhia
- Ukrainians consolidating positions in the Dnipro delta but lack a serious bridgehead; they still hold positions near Antonivsky Bridge with reconnaissance units occasionally venturing to Oleshky

🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand
There were a few place names I was unsure about the spelling of, like "Nesteryanka" and "Kurdish Mivka". I did my best to spell them phonetically based on how Jonathan pronounced them. The transcript also had some errors with place names.
