🪦 DISCLAIMER FOR GENERAL STAFF LOSSES DATA
- These are real people with real lives and real families who love them. Don’t let the numbers sap your humanity.
- These numbers probably aren’t accurate but they’re the best we have and we don’t need them to be accurate to be indicative of patterns of activity.
- All losses are estimates. Losses cannot be counted with accuracy because of the conditions on the ground.
- Both sides would see it to be of their advantage to minimize their own losses maximize the other side’s losses.
- Neither side releases their losses but we have enough transparency from the Ukrainian side to have confidence in they are indicative.
- Personnel losses are hard to count. If a soldier gets injured, heals up, and returns to the front line only to get injured again, is that one loss or two? Also, how to deal with losses from PMC’s or soldiers fighting with RF from occupied territories?
- Equipment losses are hard to count. If an AA complex involves several parts and one part gets disabled, is that a loss, or a fraction of a loss? If a tank gets disabled, repaired, back into the fight, then disabled again, is that one lost tank or two?
- All recorded losses are vulnerable to multiple reporting. We have already seen numerous cases of multiple drones in the air reporting the same loss from different angles as multiple engagements.
- Losses are not always reported on the same day they occurred. It is frequent that drone losses are reported at least 24 hours after other terrestrial equipment losses. Certain losses may not be reported for days or weeks for military intelligence reasons.
Russian Losses and Ukrainian Gains - General Staff Figures
🎦 00:35-03:19⏩
- Jonathan notes Suriyak Maps suggests Russia made land gains, while acknowledging a potential bias.
- He questions the cost of these gains, given the general staff figures indicate relatively low Russian losses: 1,150 personnel, four tanks, 11 armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs), and 19 artillery systems.
- He observes this might indicate reduced Russian offensives or potential logistical constraints.
- Conversely, Ukrainian losses appear lower, suggesting a favourable loss ratio. Jonathan emphasises a usual delay between reported figures and visual confirmation.
Russian Equipment Losses - Andrew Perpetua's List
🎦 03:20-06:57⏩
- Jonathan reviews Andrew Perpetua's visually confirmed loss list, highlighting a positive trend for Ukraine with an estimated 4:1 loss ratio of combat assets.
- Significant Russian losses include:
- Plaston RP-300 surveillance and communication engineering vehicle.
- Grad-1 and Bohdan artillery systems.
- Leopard 1A5 tank (abandoned, then destroyed by FPV drone).
- AMX-10RC (light tank, abandoned, then destroyed by FPV drone).
- Comms equipment and a Brem-1 recovery vehicle.
- 39N6 Caster 2E2 radar system.
- Two BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket systems (one destroyed, one damaged).
- Numerous infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-1s, BMP-2s, BMP-3s), APCs, and an MRAP.
- Several trucks and civilian vehicles.
- He reiterates these visually confirmed figures likely represent a significant impact on Russia's capabilities.
Fire Incident in Samara, Russia
🎦 06:57-07:33⏩
- Jonathan reports a fire at a concert hall in Samara, Russia, but notes no casualties. He points out this is another in a series of daily fire incidents observed within Russia.
Drone and Missile Interceptions
🎦 07:33-08:41⏩
- Ukrainian air defences intercepted 21 out of 22 Iranian-made Shahed drones.
- No interceptions of three Iskander-M or KN-23 ballistic missiles (the latter being the North Korean variant).
- Odessa was targeted by these missiles, with at least one striking near an apartment block, though no significant damage is apparent.
- Jonathan expresses concern about the increasing use of North Korean missiles and the limitations on Ukraine's ability to target launch sites within Russia.
Russian Airstrikes on Kharkiv and Sumy
🎦 08:41-10:03⏩
- Russian airstrikes reported on Kharkiv and its outskirts, with five to six FAB-250 (250kg guided glide bombs) dropped.
- One bomb hit a park in northern Saltyka, injuring two people and damaging nearby residential buildings.
- Strikes also impacted villages near Kharkiv and Sumy.
- Jonathan expresses concern over the relentless use of guided glide bombs by Russia.
Ukrainian Drone Strike on Ammunition Depot in Bryansk
🎦 10:03-14:00⏩
- Russia claims to have intercepted 47 Ukrainian drones overnight, with 24 downed over Bryansk.
- However, evidence suggests a significant Ukrainian strike on an ammunition depot in Karachay, Bryansk, targeting the 67th GRAU brigade.
- Multiple videos show secondary explosions, indicating a substantial ammunition stockpile.
- Jonathan highlights the impact of this and previous strikes on Russia's ammunition supply.
- The targeted facility, according to Euromide and Press, stored artillery shells, anti-aircraft missiles, and rocket munitions.
- It's reported 12 Ukrainian attack drones were involved in the operation, facing no resistance.
- This marks the fourth Russian ammunition depot hit by Ukrainian drones since autumn 2024.
- Ironically, the depot was marked as an "allotment garden" on Google Maps.
Ongoing Fire at Oil Depot in Feodosia, Crimea
🎦 14:00-17:06⏩
- A fire at an oil depot in Feodosia, Crimea, ignited two nights prior, continued burning.
- High-quality satellite images show at least 10 fuel tanks engulfed in flames, with more potentially affected.
- Initial reports indicated two tanks destroyed and three damaged, but the situation has escalated.
- Witnesses report explosions as the fire spread to additional tanks.
- Paul Healy estimates nine oil tanks either on fire or destroyed, with the potential for further damage.
- Jonathan draws a parallel to a previous, uncontainable oil depot fire in Rostov.
Russian War Crimes and Media Coverage
🎦 17:06-20:07⏩
- Jonathan highlights increased media attention on Russian drone warfare's impact on civilians, particularly in Kherson, thanks to the work of journalists like Brendan Kelly and Zarina Zabriskie.
- He stresses the widespread nature of these attacks along the front line.
- He welcomes the Daily Telegraph's coverage of the steep rise in the execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs), a topic he feels deserves greater attention.
- Jonathan condemns the horrific treatment of POWs, citing recent instances of execution and abuse witnessed on social media.
- He praises Euromaidan Press for reporting on the targeting of civilians in Kherson, emphasizing the hypocrisy of Russia's claims of "liberation."
- He encourages viewers to follow Zarina Zabriskie's reporting on Twitter.
Intensified Air Raid Sirens and Restrictions on Ukrainian Strikes
🎦 20:07-21:31⏩
- Euromaidan Press reports an increase in the frequency and intensity of air raid sirens across Ukraine, often lasting throughout the night due to Shahed drone attacks.
- This leaves Ukrainians with the difficult choice of seeking shelter or attempting to sleep through the alarms.
- Jonathan expresses frustration with the West's continued restrictions on Ukraine's ability to strike Russian targets within Russia.
Wrap Up
🎦 21:31-21:37⏩
- Jonathan concludes by reiterating the urgent need to arm Ukraine without restrictions and expresses appreciation for viewers' support.

🤖💭 AI Plan (pre task) - the AI's step by step thought process
I need to carefully follow the instructions and rules for each of the six tasks to accurately summarise this video transcript from ATP Geopolitics. This involves extracting specific information, like the video title and date, then dividing the content into granular topics with relevant summaries and timeframes. I should also ensure consistency in language (British English) and spelling of Ukrainian place names, while paying attention to Jonathan's insights and opinions to maintain the essence of his commentary.
