Hello Team!
Jonathan provides a preamble, mentioning that Russia deployed more S-400 air defense systems to Belarus on May 28th. He questions whether this is a good use of one of their better air defense systems.

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Russian Military Leadership Changes
- Colonel General Mikhail Mizantsev, former Russian Deputy Minister of Defense for Logistics, is now confirmed to be operating as Deputy Commander of the Wagner Group.
- Igor Girkin has accused Prigozhin of being ready to stage a military coup against the Kremlin, which Prigozhin denies, stating he lacks the personnel needed.
Northeast Sector (Kupiansk to Svatove to Kreminna)
- Some activity reported around Kuzmivka and other areas along the front line.
- Russian forces conducted unsuccessful offensive operations near Masyutivka.
- Russian forces advanced from Masyutivka towards the east of the Oskil River, but this area is overlooked by Ukrainian-controlled high ground to the west.
- Pressure from Russians towards Novoselivske from Kuzmivka.
- Russian mil-bloggers claim Russian forces are advancing towards Bilohorivka from the northeast and trying to encircle Ukrainian forces in the area.
- The Kreminna area is one of the few along the front line where Russian forces continue routine offensive operations, possibly to set conditions for a potential offensive toward Siversk.
High-Precision Strike in Luhansk
Geolocated footage shows a strike in the area of Almazna, Luhansk Oblast, near Alchevsk. The target was destroyed buildings, but specifics are unknown. Strikes in Luhansk have been less frequent recently compared to the Zaporizhzhia and southern Donetsk areas.

Bakhmut
- The tempo of Russian offensive operations in and around Bakhmut remains low as Wagner personnel are replaced with conventional Russian forces.

- Ukrainians repelled 12 Russian assaults near Marinka.

🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand
No major queries. The transcript was clear and I was able to summarize the key points. Some very minor uncertainties around specific numbers (e.g. the 100 killed vs 40 wounded ratio for the Mariupol strike seemed odd to Jonathan) but nothing that impacted the overall summary.
