"They [Russians] hung a flag. Fake news. This is Andrew Perpetua having a right go at people...who claim that you know the Russians control this [Vovchansk] because there's a flag hanging there which of course you can drop with a drone."

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Kursk Oblast Frontline Update
🎦 00:47-07:10⏩
Jonathan begins by looking at the Kursk Oblast and notes the discrepancies between the maps of Andrew Perpetua and Suriyak Maps. He highlights the differing assessments around the following settlements:
- Plakovo: Syriyak maps shows Russian advances, potentially encircling Ukrainian positions. Perpetua shows a less significant Russian advance.
- Novyi Put, Obakovka and Vesaloya: Syriyak maps shows Russians pushing Ukrainians back to the border, Perpetua shows Russian lines further back.
- Novaya Vanovka and Zeleny Shlak: Syriyak maps shows Russian advances, retaking territory including Lubimovka and potentially Nizhny Kin.
- Koronovo: No reports suggests Russian advances south of Lubimovka, potentially compromising the road to Koronovo.
- North of Plakovo: Syriyak Maps shows Russian gains.
Jonathan notes reports of a Russian mechanised assault near Zeleny Shlak, with Ukrainian claims of significant Russian losses (potentially 50% of a 30 vehicle assault). Jonathan notes that fighting in the area is likely to have attrited Russian forces. Jonathan believes that the Kursk salient has been a morale boost for Ukrainians but is hurting the Russians, both operationally and as a PR loss. He cites comments from Sean Pinna.

Kharkiv Oblast Frontline Update
🎦 07:10-08:34⏩
Jonathan moves on to the Kharkiv Oblast. He notes that the area of Ukrainian control is significantly smaller than in Kursk.
- Vovchansk: Suriyak maps shows Russian forces having retaken Vovchansk. Perpetua disputes this, pointing to evidence suggesting that Russian forces do not control the Aggregate plant in Vovchansk.
Kupyansk-Svatove Frontline Update
🎦 08:34-11:09⏩
Jonathan examines the frontline from Kupyansk to Svatove, highlighting Russian gains in some areas.
- South West of Synkivka (Lyman Pershi): Perpetua's map shows Russian advances along the edge of the forest. Jonathan recommends viewers watch the BBC documentary "Enemy in the Woods", which was filmed in the area. He notes that a number of the Ukrainian soldiers who featured in the documentary have since died.
- Kotyl'ya Rivka: Perpetua shows more limited Russian gains than Suriyak Maps.
- South of Stelmakivka: Suriyak maps shows limited Russian gains.
- Terni, Torska, Serebryanka: No change in the last three days, despite previous claims of Ukrainian advances.
- Bilarivka: No change in the last three days, despite previous claims from Suriyak Maps of a Russian advance.
- Verkhno-Kamyanskoye: No change, with previous claims from Suriyak Maps that the settlement was under Russian Control now revised. Jonathan cautions against relying on Suriyak Maps, which has a reputation for making inaccurate assessments of Russian gains.
Kreminna Frontline Update
🎦 11:09-13:55⏩
- North and West of Kreminna: Jonathan notes that Suriyak Maps previously showed extensive Russian gains which have now been revised. He highlights the importance of consulting different sources.
- Verkhno-Kamyanskoye: Perpetua's maps shows that fighting is ongoing in Verkhno-Kamyanskoye, with Russians having made some gains.
- North of Bakhmut and Chervonopivka: No change for both mappers over the last 3 days, which Jonathan believes is good news for Ukraine. He notes previous reports of a Russian bridgehead across the canal which now appears to be under Ukrainian control.
Donetsk Oblast Frontline Update
🎦 13:55-21:57⏩
Jonathan now turns his attention to the Donetsk Oblast:
- Turetsk: Both mappers show Russian advances in Turetsk. Jonathan notes claims that Russia controls 50-60% of the town. He highlights the likelihood that a significant amount of the area will be contested.
- West of New York: Suriyak maps shows small Russian gains.
- Bilo Rivka: No reports citing Russian troops spotted in the area but needs further confirmation.
- South of Turetsk: Rob Lee (quoting a Ukrainian source) reports that Turetsk may not hold out for much longer, noting a lack of reserves and ammunition shortages.
- Mykhailivka: Perpetua and Suriyak Maps show Russian advances west of Krasnohorivka.
- Seladova: Perpetua shows limited Russian advances south of Seladova, along the railway line.
- South of Seladova and Karlivka: Perpetua shows more limited Russian advances than Suriyak maps.
- Prictustivka: Perpetua shows a small Russian gain to the West. Jonathan highlights that the settlement has been heavily targeted by Russian guided bombs, noting a change in Russian tactics which have shifted from infantry assaults to long range bombardment. Jonathan notes reports that a Russian Su-34 was shot down whilst dropping guided bombs 50km behind the frontline.
- Robotyne: Perpetua shows substantial Russian gains with Ukrainian forces holding out only in the north of the settlement. Jonathan notes that Robotyne is a difficult settlement to defend due to the lack of cover. He expects the Russians to continue to advance towards Mala Tokmachka and Orikhiv.
- Kamyanske: Perpetua shows Ukrainian counterattacks in the Kamyanske area, pushing back Russian forces who had attacked across the river.
Wrap up
🎦 21:57-22:18⏩
Jonathan thanks viewers for their patience and says that he should now be able to produce the mapping updates more easily.

🤖💭 AI Plan (pre task) - the AI's step by step thought process
This is a frontline update video so I expect there will be lots of place names and discussion about fighting, advances and losses. Jonathan will likely be using maps and referring to different mappers and their assessments of the frontline. I will need to pay close attention to what he is saying about locations and the spellings of the place names to make sure I capture this accurately. I will also take note of the mappers he mentions (and their spellings) and what he says about them. There may be discussion of specific types of munitions and equipment but I don't expect a huge amount of detail as it's a frontline update rather than a HITS and LOSSES video. I will make sure I capture any key information and use the correct spellings.
