There were some inconsistencies and grammatical errors in the transcript, which I corrected to the best of my ability.
🤖💭 AI Plan (pre task) - the AI's step by step thought process
Title, Date and Part: I need to extract the title by removing the date and part, format the date to DD/MM/YYYY, and extract the part if present.
Topic Titles: I need to split the transcript into topics, create concise, specific, and quantified titles for each, and number them starting from 1. The first topic should always be "Hello Team" and the last topic should always be "Wrap up". I also need to ensure that Ukrainian place names are spelled correctly (e.g., Kyiv, not Kiev).

I should also include any sources Jonathan credits, his opinions, and any relevant user comments. I need to ensure that spellings, particularly of Ukrainian place names, are correct.
