"It appears that defensively they're in quite a lot of trouble and, and, and offensively as well. I mean, they are lacking in the capability to use widespread artillery."

Hello Team!

  • Jonathan is experimenting with dark mode for his videos. Some viewers love it while others prefer white mode.
  • Russian MOD likely attempting to conceal high Russian losses in Ukraine by artificially inflating Ukrainian casualties. Russian claims of destroying Western-provided weapons are unrealistic according to a Wagner-affiliated milblogger.

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND

Northeast Sector (Kupyansk to Svatove to Kreminna)

  • Russians control area near Mazyativka but have no dug-in fortifications. Forests in the area are heavily mined.
  • Ukrainians repelled significant Russian attacks along the Svatove-Kreminna line, particularly near Novoselivska. Russian convict forces ran away.
  • Heavy activity in Bilohorivka south of Kreminna. The town is completely destroyed like Mariinka.

Bakhmut

  • Tempo of Russian and Ukrainian offensive operations remains low. Wagner offensive capabilities obliterated.
  • Ukrainians hammering the northern edge of Bakhmut with artillery.
  • Video evidence of Ukrainian combined arms move with tanks south of Bakhmut near Klishchiivka. Ukrainians appear to be advancing from two directions to pressure the town.
  • Alignment between pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian mappers on the situation in Bakhmut.
  • Ukrainians fixing Russian troops in Bakhmut with minimal resources, not dipping into counter-offensive reserves.

Avdiivka, Marinka and Vuhledar

  • Not much change around Avdiivka and Marinka despite claims of repelled attacks.
  • Ukrainians pushed Russians back across the river west of Mykilske near Vuhledar. Also making gains southwest of Pavlivka.
  • Russians struggling to advance on Velyka Novosilka which is well-defended by Ukraine.

Zaporizhzhia Oblast

  • Contested "grey zones" appearing on maps near Hulyaipole, Velyka Novosilka and Novodarivka.
  • Ukrainians making gains on both sides of Dronzyanka south of Hulyaipole. Potential area for Ukrainian counter-offensive.
  • Russians only fired 63 artillery shells in Zaporizhzhia, a massive reduction. Suggests defensive troubles and impact of Ukrainian artillery hunting.
  • Good time for localized Ukrainian counter-attacks in Zaporizhzhia and Vuhledar as Russians struggle with artillery.

Other Frontline Activity

  • Ukrainians hammering Russian rear areas and bases with Storm Shadow missiles, forcing adaptations.
