"If the Russians have had their artillery and mine laying vehicles be absolutely like battered by Ukrainian artillery as we've seen the attrition over the last two months three months really then actually the Russians might not be able to do that which means you will see quicker and quicker advances from the Ukrainians as the counteroffensive thrust goes on."

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Northeast Sector - Kupyansk to Svatove to Kreminna
- Russian milblogger claimed Russian forces control most of Sinkivka, but this is unconfirmed. According to Suriya maps, Sinkivka is surrounded by Russian defensive lines.
- Further south, there are repelled attacks by both sides along the front down to Crimea.
- Russian milbloggers claimed on Aug 23rd that Russian forces are advancing on Bilohorivka and control the road to Hrivka. This is significant if true as it means Russians likely crossed the Siverskyi Donets river and made advances on Ukrainian positions. Jonathan doubts they control the road from the east as the high ground around Bilohorivka would make this difficult.
Bakhmut Area
- Footage from Andriy Rybar placed north of Bakhmut by Zaliznyanske suggests Ukrainians are assaulting or making advances in that area. The footage shows Ukrainian mechanized equipment, combined arms, drone activity, and tanks firing on Russian positions. A mine clearing line charge (MICLIC) is also used, possibly as an offensive weapon.
- No change to maps yet, but Ukrainians may have made some gains in this area.
- Russian milblogger claimed Ukrainians made unspecified advances near Klishchiivka and captured Russian positions west of the settlement.
- No change around Avdiivka, just ongoing activity.
Southern Front - Zaporizhzhia & Kherson Regions
- General analysis suggests Ukrainian activity and pushes expected all along the line. US General Milley stated Ukrainians crossed the main first line of Russian defense.
- In the Velyka Novosilka salient, slow steady Ukrainian progress since start of counteroffensive, but has slowed in last couple days. Some claims of POWs taken near Zavitne Bazhannia.
- Northeast of Priyutne, Ukrainians squeezed Russians but no movement in last 24hrs.
- Significant Ukrainian gains around Robotyne in last 24hrs. Close to surrounding Novoprokopivka, getting closer to Verbove, opening the salient. Unconfirmed Russian claims Novoprokopivka is under Ukrainian control.
- Russian milbloggers expressed concern about Ukrainian breakthrough in Zaporizhzhia and agree it's a critical moment. Situation around Tokmak developing dynamically.
- In Kherson, vague claims of dangerous situation for Russians on Dnipro River islands. Recon companies ordered forward without artillery support and destroyed. Unclear which islands but possibly near Kherson. Despite Russian claims, Jonathan doubts they fully pushed Ukrainians out of Kozachi Laheri area.
Wrap Up
Jonathan notes increased Ukrainian activity in multiple areas could signal a major push in the counteroffensive. He will provide further updates and thanks viewers for watching, with a special thanks to Mark Biszk and his wife Elena from Canada for their support.
