Ukraine Conflict (20240512/13): Full Frontline Update, Kharkiv Offensive Update 

@ATPGeo, amazing dedication to giving us a comprehensive update with Ukraine. P.S. 2 wonderful live streams

Thank you, Jonathan for the front line. Update been a long day for you.👍👍👍

Good evening fellow apes! Take care team!

Hola amigos

Thank you Jonathan ❤ Love to all ❤ 🫂 Slava Ukraini ✊️ 🇺🇦 ❤ 🙏 🤝

good update👍

I used to keep up with all the updates in the beginning. But everything slopped. Now I am trying to find someone that shows what is happening. I know it is all in trouble. Things need to change for the better.

Thanks JP, 👍😊

Thank you Jonathan. Great work every day!

Hey JP, just a quick suggestion, maybe you could make andrew perpetuas grey zone line a more lighter blue or perhaps just grey so its easier to distinguish but maybe that's overcomplicating it with so many coloured lines on the screen.

D-Day minus 5

Thanks again for all your hard work Jonathan, we do appreciate it as I am sure you know, even if it totally disrupts what was a once more orderly life, one that was disinterested in these matters. It is notable that not only is there this nasty advance on Kharkiv but also increased troll activity here, or did you somehow kick over a troll nest?

Thx JP! 👏🙏🇺🇦👍🤞

Russia is playing chess here. Kharkiv cannot be captured easily. Attack on Kharkiv is just like a premature check in the game of chess. Just to distract the defence of Chavis Yar and beyond Adivka.

Great videos I watch everyday 🇺🇦

👋

2nd :D

Does Jake Broe incite hatred?

Who's PM Collins? I keep seeing his name pop-up. Not such nice words

Very late video listen to your interview earlier.

very upsetting news. I hate this year

The situation in Kharkiv doesn't look to me like Ukraine's in any real trouble there; in fact, it very much reminds me of Vuhledar. The Ukrainian defensive disposition, a relative dearth of defensive preparations like mines & trenches immediately along the border, doesn't appear to me to be a mistake at all. Aside from the fact that only limited defenses along the border could have been constructed in any depth while inside the range of Russian weapons, even the rhetoric from some Ukrainian military personnel who've said loudly that there "are no defenses" where there clearly are suggests to me that the Ukrainian plan is actually to use their defensive disposition to their advantage. By funneling the Russians into prepared kill boxes, similar to what they'd done in Vuhledar but on a larger scale and with strategies including communications & intelligence operations like having Ukrainian brigade & battalion commanders feign complaints about lacking defenses along particular axes, the Ukrainians can canalize the Russians along particular axes of advance and more readily choose their fights where they'll have greatest advantages on prepared ground. It's unlikely that Ukraine would use much more than FPV drones & light indirect fire until a certain concentration of certain, relatively high-value Russian assets that will be difficult to replace have been committed. Once they have channeled larger armored formations performing movement to contact operations inside these kill boxes, drawing significant forces into fights on prepared ground of Ukraine's choosing, and there's more than just light Russian infantry on foot conducting recon by fire, I suspect the Ukrainians will begin springing their traps with artillery-dispersed mines to close the kill box & isolate significant Russian formations to eliminate them with heavy indirect fire, etc. In fact, I suspect such preparations have been made all along the border, and even all along the rest of Ukraine's interior lines to draw Russians in as they choose, both to buy time for sufficient Western aid to arrive and to have the Russians committed & bottlenecked like fish in a barrel once the Ukrainians are ready to start springing traps.

Good morning all 👍🏻🇦🇺🇺🇦

JP, Another outstanding update, as always. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦 🇺🇲 ♥️

I will look to see if my rant was deleted

Still waiting

How long can the Russian Army sustain these causaulities+equipment losses? Did the Russians secretly move units around? The Russian Army can't replace the equipment losses at this level. It will become a primary infantry and artillery battle. The F-16s with bombs could inflict high losses on advancing infantry like the Americans did at the battle of Bulge.

You are wrong indeed. Ukraine is losing, started 2 years ago.

Still awaiting MSP response

Why haven’t they put sanctions on shovels and washing machine parts yet? Asking for my Ukraine profile flag airsoft larping friends ✌️

Ukraine is losing badly the Russians are advancing on multiple fronts and the Ukrainians don’t have enough men left to stop them hope it was worth it Ukraine

9:26 the ukrainians say russia has adapted to himars 1 by moving back their logistics hubs beyond range, 2 through ew interference with precision targeting, and 3 by tracking himars fire fast enough to destroy them before the ukrainians can move them away from the front line. in any case, not enough ammunition is available for these systems to make them a practical replacement for standard artillery systems.
