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 π·πΊπΊπ¦ #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

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

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 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"

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

The Ukr have launched an attack to try to re-open the main supply road which is physically cut at one point

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
π·πΊπΊπ¦ #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.

π·πΊπΊπ¦ #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
π·πΊπΊπ¦
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
π·πΊπΊπ¦
There is talk that the Ukr CinC Zaluzhny & Zelensky had a meeting during which the withdrawal from #Lisichansk agglomeration was discussed.
The only feasible way is going by the road to Seversk which is not physically cut but can be shelled from Rus held territory

It's worth noting that the Rus Army left the town on Mar 30,,,,4 days ago but footage appeared only today
