"This will be more like Kherson, the counter-offensive in Kherson, than the counter-offensive in Kharkiv that was kind of a lightning charge across with really quick vehicles across undefended territory. This is going to be slow and grinding."
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides an update on the Ukraine war frontline for 13 June 2023. He mentions his map is about 80% consistent in terms of defensive lines for Russians according to pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian mappers. Blue lines are from pro-Ukrainian mapper Andrew Perpetua and red lines from pro-Russian Syriac maps.
