"So you still need to fix them there. What's the optimal fixing that you can do with the fewest number of troops? Do that, try and take a few places, maybe around Kuzmivka or Kodyamivka, not Kuzmivka, Klyuchevka, sorry, and Kodyamivka, if you can take a little bit of land, keep them occupied, and then send a load more of your resources down to Zaporizhia and help down there, then perhaps that is a good idea."

Jonathan discusses the different narratives around the Ukrainian counteroffensive - the Russian view that it is a failure and stalemate, the realist pro-Ukrainian view that it is not going as well as hoped, and a more optimistic view in between. Some Western officials have apparently advised Ukraine to focus more on the Zaporizhia front rather than the east.
