Russian Losses

  • Ukrainian commander Sursky claims Russian losses are 8-10 times higher than Ukrainian losses, though this likely has some Ukrainian spin
  • Ukraine has not yet used its main forces; the main goal is to deplete enemy forces to enable a breakthrough

Wrap up

Jonathan notes that while the mapping may not show a lot of changes, he believes significant movement has occurred that will take time to be reflected. He also clarifies that an apparently outrageous comment he made about the 4th of July was meant as a joke. Jonathan signs off wishing everyone well.
