"The Ukrainians are really trying hard to hit the Russian logistics so that they just are unable to supply these forces in the south."
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides some caveats about the frontline update:
- He has been on holiday so hasn't been following the mapping changes as closely
- He relied on JR, a supporter of the channel, who has done the mapping changes based on pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian sources
- His knowledge base isn't as wide as it should be but he will try to get back up to speed
📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Kupyansk to Svatove to Kreminna Front
- Russians are pressuring near Kupyansk with some success possibly in the Synkivka direction
- Pushing also in the Novoselivske direction
- Novoselivske is contested according to pro-Ukrainian sources, but pro-Russian sources claim it is fully under Russian control
- Some Ukrainian gains south of Kuzmivka
- Ukrainians have made gains near Kreminna, eliminating Russian gains since July according to some sources
- 1.8 square km added to liberated status
- However, pro-Russian sources dispute this, saying the front has remained unchanged
Bakhmut Area
- Fierce fighting continues in and around Bakhmut
- Ukrainians have taken at least half of Klishchiivka according to Ukrainian sources

- Possible Ukrainian gains north of Bakhmut near Yahidne
Avdiivka and Donetsk Front
- Ukrainian gains around Krasnohorivka and Vesele
- Russian gains south of Avdiivka near Opytne
- Back and forth fighting near Marinka

- Unclear if these claims are accurate
Southern Donetsk - Velyka Novosilka Area
- Ukrainians pushing Russians back southwest of Velyka Novosilka
- Had success near Staromaiorske, pushing into Russian-held area
- This is higher ground overlooking nearby settlements
