"Svatov and Starobilsk are more important. They're just logistically more important than Bakhmut is for the Ukrainians."
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides his usual caveats about the released Ukrainian figures for Russian losses, noting they are indicative but subject to propaganda and inaccuracy. The figures show 720 Russian personnel liquidated, which is above average, along with losses of tanks, APCs, artillery systems, drones, and a boat. There are reports of Russian strategic bombers in the air and enemy ships on combat duty in the Black Sea, suggesting a potential missile attack on Kyiv.

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Military Aid
- According to an Algerian website, Morocco has sent an unknown number of T-72 tanks to Ukraine, with the first 20 shipped last week. In total, the Moroccan army had 148 T-72s, likely refurbished in Czechia.
- Poland will start teaching Ukrainian tank crews how to operate Leopard 2 tanks within a few days, despite the tanks not being transferred yet.
- Consensus has been reached on providing Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, but the public submission of the decision is still being discussed. In Germany, 46% support sending Leopard tanks, 43% oppose, and 11% are unsure.
- Videos show Bradley tanks in Poland, but they are likely NATO forces moving them around rather than being given to Ukraine immediately.
Frontline Updates
Jonathan provides a detailed analysis of the frontlines, focusing on key areas: Svatove-Kreminna Axis:
- This area is logistically crucial for both sides. Taking Svatove would cut off supply to Kreminna and areas further south. Starobilsk is the ultimate goal, as losing it would make holding territory in Luhansk less strategically valuable for Russia.
- There is ongoing fighting around Kuzmivka, with Ukrainians consolidating positions and Russia bringing in reinforcements.
Bakhmut:
- Fighting continues on the outskirts of Bakhmut, with the main focus on Klishchiivka. Ukrainians still control the strategic high ground there, repulsing Russian assaults.
- A Ukrainian Mi-8 transport helicopter was reportedly shot down by Wagner forces and crashed into the Bakhmut train station.
Zaporizhzhia Front:
- Despite Russian claims, there is no evidence of a large-scale offensive south of Mala Tokmachka. Geolocated videos show failed Russian attacks.
- The situation around Kamyanske is unclear, with conflicting reports from OSINT sources. Jonathan is waiting for more concrete information before updating his map.
