"It is going to be hurting the Russians more than it's hurting the Ukrainians even if it is hurting the Ukrainians somewhat"
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides an overview of the frontline situation, noting that there are conflicting accounts of gains on both sides and the situation is a bit foggy. The ISW reports that Ukrainian forces made tactically significant gains in the Bakhmut area and continue counter-offensive operations in at least three other sectors.

Wrap Up
Jonathan notes that while progress may seem slow, if the objective is to attrit Russian forces and fix them in place, it can still be considered a success for Ukraine. He will share some insights from the book "The Bomber Mafia" by Malcolm Gladwell relevant to the conflict in a later video. As always, he requests viewers to like, subscribe and share.
