"It's absolutely incredible that, you know, in the midst of this war, in the midst of a battle, people are still living in some of these places."
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides a truncated frontline update as part of his Ukraine War Update. He apologises that it is not as comprehensive as usual, mainly focusing on Robotyne in the south. The lighting is a bit odd as he has electricians working in his house.

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Northeast Frontline - Kupiansk Area
- Claims of Ukrainian forces repelling large Russian assaults northeast of Kupiansk around Senkivka
- Heavy fighting continues on northern flanks of the town
- Conflicting claims about extent of Russian advances in this area
Staromaiorske, Urozhaine, Staromlynivka Salient
- Ukrainian forces have pushed Russians out of positions between Priyutne and Staromaiorske
- Russians able to defend this high ground area effectively with mined ravines
- Ukrainians flanking and chipping off Russian-held territory to attack Priyutne
- If Ukrainians can flank Priyutne from three directions it will be a real advantage
- Russian airstrikes with glide bombs around Makarivka to support their defence and take out Ukrainian positions
Robotyne
- Conflicting claims about status of Robotyne and whether it is fully liberated by Ukraine
- Recent fighting in center and south of town, with Ukrainian forces using armoured vehicles and artillery
- Civilians still being evacuated from Robotyne amid the ongoing battle, with people clinging on because they are the most vulnerable with nowhere else to go
- Ukrainian General Staff report success in Robotyne but are vague about "achieved milestones"
- Trench lines around Robotyne are broken, with Ukrainians taking control
- Major Russian trench lines appear to be south of Novoprokopivka with multiple defensive layers - question is whether Russians have enough manpower to fully man them
- As Russians get pushed back to major defensive lines, the same things that make the lines beneficial will make them suffer if on the wrong side, according to analysis by Def Mon
- Retreating Russians need to leave gaps in their own defensive lines to supply troops and allow retreat, but this funnels them and makes them easier targets for Ukrainians
- Failed Russian attempts to regain lost positions in Robotyne
- Ukrainian artillery strikes on several surrounding villages
- Despite Russian attempts to downplay significance of Robotyne, scale of allocated resources to defend it surpasses its mere size
Wrap Up
Jonathan notes the frontline update was more truncated than usual, mainly focusing on Robotyne, and he will return to his normal comprehensive updates tomorrow. He invites the community to share their thoughts and analysis, expressing how honoured he is to be part of such an engaged and insightful group. He signs off wishing everyone well.
