- Shifting to the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna axis, Jonathan points out small Russian gains around Vilshana, referencing both Deep State Maps and Suriat Maps.

Lyman-Chaziv Yar Frontline Update
🎦 05:45-07:26⏩

- He analyses the effectiveness of these attacks in diverting Ukrainian attention and resources, questioning whether it might be strategically advantageous for Ukraine to avoid engaging heavily in these areas.
