"What's happened? Don't know. Okay, brilliant. Thanks. See you later."

Hello Team!

Jonathan shares his frustrations with YouTube restricting all his videos, even a nursery rhyme video with no metadata. He is working 12 hour days for free until YouTube fixes the issue. The planned frontline update video was also restricted.

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND

Black Sea Fleet Admiral Sokolov

Conflicting reports on whether Admiral Sokolov of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was killed in the attack on fleet HQ in Sevastopol. The Russians released undated footage of Sokolov at a meeting and giving awards, but some claim this was from before the attack. His status remains unconfirmed but the Russians seem desperate to prove he is alive.

Bakhmut Area

  • Zelensky announced Ukrainian progress in the Donetsk direction (likely Bakhmut) and hinted at other plans being implemented.
  • Kenneth Gregg, a Finnish fighter, says Ukrainians advanced 2.5km eastward from Klishchivka to Andriivka, pushing Russians back. Other sources also report Ukrainian gains and Russian withdrawals in this area.
  • Russian Storm Z penal units allegedly advanced to Andriivka without expected VDV support.
  • Elements of the Russian 200th Motorized Rifle Brigade are suffering heavy casualties on the northern Bakhmut flank.
  • The situation remains fluid with unconfirmed claims of Ukrainian advances. Fog of war makes it difficult to verify.

Avdiivka, Marinka and Southern Donetsk

The Ukrainian General Staff reported repelled Russian attacks near Avdiivka, Severnyi and Marinka. A Russian blogger claimed Storm Z units captured Ukrainian strongpoints near Opytne but suffered heavy losses. There are indications of increased Ukrainian activity and control around Marinka. The area south of Donetsk to Velyka Novosilka is relatively quiet, possibly due to redeployments to Robotyne.

Zaporizhzhia-Robotyne Offensive

Numerous unconfirmed reports suggest a major Ukrainian offensive is underway in the Robotyne area of Zaporizhzhia:

  • Heavy artillery barrages and fierce battles reported near Vobove and Novopropivka
  • Claims Ukrainians have committed significant forces including Western equipment like Bradleys, Strikers, and Challengers
  • Russians reportedly pulling up ill-prepared reserves to Tokmak to shore up defenses
  • Unconfirmed report that elements of Russian 7th VDV are retreating from Vobove
  • Imagery shows fires and smoke in the area, possibly from incendiary munitions

However, definitive proof is lacking amidst the "fog of war". The coming days should provide clarity on the scale and success of this potential offensive.

Wrap Up

In conclusion, while the frontline map remains largely unchanged, there are numerous indications of a significant Ukrainian offensive underway in the Robotyne area. However, the "fog of war" makes it difficult to confirm the extent of Ukrainian advances or Russian losses at this stage. Jonathan encourages viewers to share any additional information they may have on the Discord server (link in the description). He appreciates everyone's support during this challenging time with YouTube restrictions.
