🇷🇺🇺🇦
Starting a new Rus - Ukr thread as requested by a lot of people. I'll aim to start a new one every week.
End of previous thread

#Sviatogorsk
Town itself is a gray zone. Rus are pushing from Dolgenkove towards Dolyna. There are also clashes for control of the forest. Both of them need to be secured before moving onto Bogorodichno from where Ukr positions on the hills can be attacked from the flank
@Rybar 🇷🇺🇺🇦 #Severodonetsk
Situation within the city is same as yesterday.
In any case, the main aim of the Ukr attack was not the city but to prevent the Rus from capturing Sirotino & Metolkino which would've broken up the Ukr group into 2
The road at Sirotino is still open..barely
🇷🇺🇺🇦

Ukr correspondent Jurij Butusov on the situation in #Severodonetsk
He has been honest on other occasions which has led to threats from certain circles

Seems the aircraft was a Su-27 going by this Rus drone footage which filmed the crash site

The earlier mentioned Ukr MiG-29 shoot down near Slavyansk....turn down the volume 🙂
🇷🇺🇺🇦
Some Ukr units were forced to retreat 20 km to the rear, to the village Nagorny. There are battles for Vrubovka.
Often, the enemy doesn't have prepared reserve positions, so is forced to dig in in a hurry, under fire from the Rus / LPR forces
RT correspondent @ Kamishevaha

From Rus MOD briefing
Rus Aerospace Forces destroyed with long-range missiles a mechanical plant in the #Kharkov region, in which repair of AFU armored vehicles was done
Rus Aerospace Forces destroyed a US-made AN/TPQ-50 counter-battery radar station at #Seversk - Donbas

What's interesting is that these are part of the Caspian Flotilla. They must've brought it to the Azov sea via inland rivers

Rus BM-27 MRLS - #Kharkov region
🇷🇺🇺🇦
Captured Ukr T-72B called "Volk" (Wolf)
🇷🇺🇺🇦🇵🇱
T-62M STRONG - Fans of the T-62 strike back!
"T-62M can fire missiles & burn Polish T-72M
Any mention of T-62M in Ukr causes strange reactions from all sorts of "experts". They probably don't know that in many ways T-62M is superior to the T-72M supplied by Poland"
🇷🇺🇺🇦
The new Ukr MitsubishiL-200 based MRL is already seeing action. It fires S-80 aviation rockets
I hear Middle Eastern militant groups are going to sue them for breach of patent 😎
🇷🇺🇺🇦🇵🇱
1st evidence of a serving #NATO officer fought in #Severodonetsk and now may be at the AZOT plant.
The ID of Polish colonel D Maykhzhak was found in SD. He is Vice-Rector for Military Affairs of the Polish Academy
Unconfirmed reports that a Polish PMC unit is in the area.
🇷🇺🇺🇦 #Sviatogorsk
The Ukr were forced to blow up the bridge in SG due to Rus pressure. The news caused Ukr units in Studenok to retreat panicky towards the river & cross it by any means. They've reportedly abandoned their heavy equipment & about 80 tried to swim across the river
Ukr journo Butusov reported about mass desertions in this area. His article was removed quickly but a screenshot was nevertheless saved.
There are reports of Ukr punitive "blocking" units arriving here to stabilise the front line & deal with "deserters"
🇷🇺🇺🇦 #Severodonetsk
The situation in the city is roughly as on maps as of June 6
🇷🇺🇺🇦
Heavy fighting in the #Vrybovka - Nikolaevka area.
The Rus are pushing towards Nikolaevka, it's believed with intention of attacking Vrybovka from the rear.
Vrybovka is an important junction & is the last route through which supplies can get to Gorskoe (Hirske) - Zolotoe
🇷🇺🇺🇦 #Avdeevka
The Ukr have launched an attack to try to re-open the main supply road which is physically cut at one point
🇷🇺🇺🇦 #Kherson - #Nikolaev Front
Rus sources say the Ukr bridgehead in David Brod area has been destroyed after the bridge there was destroyed cutting Ukr units off. Heavy Rus shelling in that area
Report that Rus crossed the river at Bela Krinitsa
Likely the Rus won't make any large scale push in the K-N area but only establish a defense line along the river. They're outnumbered here by a factor of at least 2 : 1
Instead, Ukr report a Rus build up in Orehovo - Gulai Pole area threatening Zap. City
🇷🇺🇺🇦
#Ochakov area.
Rus say a Ukr landing craft was destroyed in the small gulf. The Ukr have mined the entrance preventing Rus ships from entering the gulf & allowing their boats to operate there.
They landed sabotage groups on the small peninsula on 2 occasions previously

A Report that the Rus have captured Borovskoe which is pretty close to the functioning bridge connecting #Severodonetsk & #Lisichansk
The situation will hopefully be clearer by tomorrow
BTW, I didn't draw the arrows on the map...just passing it on as is
🇷🇺🇺🇦
Several types of Recon drones used by both sides...Top portion is Rus, bottom Ukr
🇷🇺🇺🇦 #Sviatogorsk situation
There are still clashes in the forest where a Ukr SOF colonel was reportedly killed.
Rus crossed the river at Tetyanovka but unclear if only light special forces or a full landing.
That's likely the reason the Ukr had to blow up the bridge
🇷🇺🇺🇦
If Rus control of Tetyanovka is confirmed (don't know 100% atm), it means gaining a foothold on the other bank of the S.Donets river & can be viewed as the initial step in the battle for Slavyansk which is about 20km away
