"If they get to here they've got to have enough in the tank to still be able to push on but it doesn't have to be super quick because they'll have that ability to to take out the ground lines of communication with distance munitions but they still need to be sort of taking ground increasing the salient you know they still need to have enough left in a tank to do that otherwise you know it's it's it's not it's not good for the ukrainians"
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides an update on the Ukraine war, noting that not a lot of data has come out from the frontline in the last day. This could be due to operational security or because the fighting is grinding and attritional with not a lot of movement.

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Northeastern Sector Update
- The hottest area on the frontline outside of Robotyne is around Novohryhorivka near Karmazynivka with a lot of shelling
- It is costly for Ukrainians to hold the line in this sector but they are doing a good job without committing resources from the counteroffensive
- According to Kenneth Gregg (Finnish fighter in Russia), the Russians sent reinforcements to Verbove and Novopetrivka but Ukrainian artillery depleted the convoys. Ukrainians then advanced towards Verbove and liberated a 2x3.5km area.
Bakhmut Update
- Ukrainians have made some gains in Andriivka but it's unclear how far east of the railway track their presence extends
- There has been Ukrainian success in the Ozaryanivka area coinciding with shelling, likely in the south closer to Ivanivske rather than the north
- Russians have an ammunition and drone advantage in Bakhmut according to some reports but the situation varies significantly across the frontline
Southern Donetsk/Velyka Novosilka Update
- Ukrainians have made gains of up to 10km in the Velyka Novosilka salient since the counteroffensive began
- A lot of activity is taking place west of Novodonetsk town with Ukrainians liberating 2-3 sq km
- Rumours that Ukraine has entered Novoprokopivka south of Robotyne
- Ukrainians pushed Russians back in Kamyanka with the river line no longer splitting control of the town
Analysis of Vuhledar Offensive
Jonathan shares an insightful analysis thread from Bryn Tannehill on the crucial moment unfolding in Ukraine's Vuhledar offensive:
- Ukraine has reached Russia's main trench line outside Vuhledar, getting past initial tank ditches and dragon's teeth. This is significant as Russia frontloaded 60% of its best defences here.
- Russia pulled elite 76th Guards Assault Division to reinforce the area, one of the few units still capable of real counterattacks
- Ukraine is also committing experienced units, Western equipment like Challenger 2 tanks, and allocating precious artillery resources
- If Ukraine clears the Vuhledar trenches, the next 5.5km to Russia's last fixed defensive lines could be easier going with less dense minefields
- For the offensive to succeed, Ukraine needs to reach the last line with enough resources left to prevent Russian re-entrenchment over the winter
- The midterm goal is to sever Russian ground lines of communication to Kherson, Zaporizhia and Crimea by advancing to the Berdyansk-Melitopol highway
Wrap up
Jonathan notes this was a much shorter frontline update without Tannehill's analysis which he hopes viewers find useful. He appreciates feedback on whether to include such external analysis in future videos.
