"If Bakhmut falls, then behind is going to be uh like dominoes I mean gee whiz you seeing how long it's taken as I keep saying it's taken the Russians nine months to not take Bakhmut what what do you think is going to happen with Kostantinivka with Chassivyar with all of these places and it's this idea that there's going to be just dominoes all the way back to Kiev, which is, do you know what, quite a long way away."

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Kupyansk to Svatove to Kreminna Axis
- Not much news from this area, except for some fighting reported by Russian milbloggers near Kuzmivka and the Zarevka Gully
- Geolocated footage suggests a possible Ukrainian advance northeast of Verkhnokamyanske
- Russian conventional forces in this area are using more armoured vehicles and acting more cautiously, possibly in anticipation of a Ukrainian counter-offensive
Bakhmut
- Russian forces have made advances in eastern Bakhmut, reaching the industrial complex, hospital area, Metalurg Stadium, and school number 11
- Ukrainian forces are gradually transferring personnel to the western part of the city
- Despite heavy losses, Ukrainian units continue to hold the defence line
- The use of a demining vehicle by Ukrainian forces along Korsungoho Street caused significant damage to Russian troops
- Jonathan argues that even if Ukraine loses Bakhmut, it has served its purpose of attriting Russian forces, and the idea that this will lead to a domino effect is unlikely given how long it has taken Russia to not fully capture the city
Avdiivka
- No confirmed changes of control, but a lot of Russian attacks reported southwest of Avdiivka, particularly in the Pervomaiske and Vodyane areas
- Geolocated footage indicates Ukrainian forces likely recaptured positions northwest of Novoselivka, but it is unclear if they still hold these positions or if it was a reconnaissance operation
- A Russian milblogger claimed Ukrainian forces are preparing for counterattacks in the Avdiivka area
Southern Axis
- Russian forces continue to prepare for a rumoured upcoming Ukrainian counter-offensive in the southern direction by building up defensive capabilities
- Ukraine's Southern Operational Command reported Russian forces struck agricultural territory and industrial areas in Kherson with guided bombs from Su-35 aircraft
- There has been a significant uptick in the use of guided weapons by Russians released from aircraft
Wrap up
Jonathan thanks viewers for their support and encourages them to check out a recent interview he conducted, which can be found in the live section below the video.
