"It's not looking good for Bakhmut. I would imagine Bakhmut is, you know, its days are numbered in terms of Ukrainian control."

Hello Team!

Jonathan provides a detailed frontline update, noting increased Russian shelling and attacks along the entire front. He will try to be concise but acknowledges there is a lot to cover.

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND

Northeast Sector (Kupiansk to Kreminna)

  • Kupiansk is being shelled by Russians from a distance.
  • Fighting continues around Kuzmivka and Novoselivske, with Russians mounting counterattacks but Ukrainians making some progress.
  • In the forested area south and southwest of Kreminna, Ukrainians are dominant but Russians are using small groups to attempt to gain positions.

Bakhmut Area

  • Russians have made advances in the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut and west of Pidhorodne, now controlling the settlement.
  • Wagner fighters, with air support, are slowly pushing through Ukrainian defense lines in the northeast of Bakhmut city.
  • The situation looks increasingly difficult for Ukrainians in Bakhmut, with their days of control possibly numbered. The question is how long they will try to hold out and bleed Russian forces.

Donetsk Area (Avdiivka, Vuhledar)

  • Russians have taken control of Vodyane and are attacking towards Pervomaiske, putting pressure on Avdiivka from the west.
  • In Vuhledar, it's unclear if a major Russian offensive is starting or if these are probing attacks. Vuhledar's elevated position and fortifications make it challenging for Russians to take.
  • If Vuhledar falls, it could open up further advances for Russia in the area. Currently, there are conflicting reports on the extent of fighting.

Zaporizhzhia and Special Forces Raid

  • In Zaporizhzhia near Orikhiv, reports from both sides indicate no significant Russian territorial gains and disagreement over the pace and success of any offensive.
  • A Ukrainian special forces raid took place near Novokakhovka, with Russians claiming to have destroyed Ukrainian landing boats and inflicted casualties. However, video footage doesn't fully support these claims. The raid seems to have targeted a Russian command post.

Wrap up

In conclusion, Jonathan notes increased Russian attacks up and down the frontline, from Zaporizhzhia to Kreminna. Whether these are precursors to a major offensive remains to be seen. He thanks viewers for their support and engagement.
