"People are forgetting that Russia's like average assault time to capture a town was like 55 days in their offensive last summer and now you expect Ukraine to capture towns in like two days. It took Russia 10 months to move 13 kilometers and Ukraine moving 10 kilometers in 30 days is a failure."

Hello Team!

Jonathan discusses the ISW report which talks about:

  • Insubordination spreading among Russian commanders and soldiers, with ultra-nationalist military bloggers defending the insubordination
  • This threatens to demoralize the wider Russian war effort and degrade their capabilities to conduct tactical offensive operations in southern Ukraine

🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand

There were a couple of points in the transcript that were a bit unclear: The exact meaning of the ISW's comment that "Russian forces may also be attempting to capitalize opportunistically on claimed tactical gains in the area." Whether the footage of Russian troops reportedly retreating over the Konka River bridge definitively shows they have been ousted from the entire bridgehead area up to Oleshky.
