"Once you get behind these lines, these initial first lines here, if you are treating the Russians as well whilst doing this - taking prisoners, taking, eliminating soldiers and equipment - but who do they have anyone here at all? Or are they completely depending on retreating troops to man these trenches? And, you know, if they are, then momentum is key and you can just end up breaking through quite quickly."

Hello Team!

  • Jonathan is trying a new setup with a standalone mic and more powerful laptop to improve the mapping segment and reduce lag
  • He apologises in advance if the new mic picks up any background noises

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND

Northeast Sector - Kupiansk Area

  • Andrew Perpetua's map shows Russians have been pushed back in the Liman-Pershi area, contradicting Suriak Maps' claims of consistent Russian advances
  • A TOS-1 thermobaric barrage against Ukrainian positions in a tree line suggests Ukrainians are further forward and Russians are not as advanced as claimed
  • Russians have made some gains across the railway line north of Novoselivka

Bakhmut Area

  • Ukrainians have pushed Russians back and gained land near Novoheirovka
  • In the Serebiansky forest, Andrew Perpetua says Russians have been pushed back, though he doesn't change forest lines as easily due to canopy cover making shelling harder to ascertain
  • Suriak Maps admits Ukrainians have recaptured some positions close to the water channel south of Ozarianivka
  • Ukrainians have made important gains across the raised railway embankment north of Klishchivka, which could allow them to get behind Russian lines and render defensive characteristics "impotent"
  • Andriivka is now a contested gray zone and could soon be liberated by Ukrainians
  • Andrew Perpetua has reduced the gray zone in Marinka in favour of Ukrainian control based on recent drone footage

Zaporizhzhia Front - Robotyne Area

  • Rebar claims Ukrainians slightly advanced northwest of Vuhledar but denies they breached the first Russian defensive line, contradicting other sources
  • Geolocated footage shows Ukrainian infantry have advanced to the northwest outskirts of Robotyne, but the extent and sustainability of those gains is unclear
  • Ukrainians are putting pressure on Novoprokopivka and Robotyne, and are in the process of breaking through the first Russian defensive lines
  • The 1429th mobilized Russian regiment defending the trench lines is under heavy pressure
  • If the second and third Russian defensive lines are thinly manned, Ukrainians could break through quickly and threaten Tokmak, putting Russian logistics and supply lines at risk

Kherson-Dnipro Bridgehead

  • Russians claim Ukrainians are trying to land more troops west of Kozacha Laheri after initial raids
  • It's unclear if Ukrainians still hold a bridgehead there or if they landed again after being previously pushed out by Russians
  • TOS-1A thermobaric weapons are being used by Russians to target the alleged Ukrainian positions
