"The Ukrainians have managed to repel the Russians to give the Russians not just a bloody nose but a load of losses in terms of personnel and equipment."

Hello Team!

Jonathan notes that Mondays are always a bit quieter for sources as some, like the Institute for the Study of War, don't produce detailed reports on Sundays. This means less detail is available compared to other days.

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND

Kharkiv Apartment Building Hit

Before discussing the frontlines, Jonathan reports that an apartment building in Kharkiv was hit by a Russian S-300 missile, killing an elderly lady and injuring several others. S-300s are inaccurate when used in ground-to-ground mode. Russia has a habit of hitting apartment buildings with missiles.
