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 πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #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

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
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦
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

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"
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦
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.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #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"
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Severodonetsk
The situation in the city is roughly as on maps as of June 6
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦
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
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Avdeevka
The Ukr have launched an attack to try to re-open the main supply road which is physically cut at one point
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #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
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦
#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.

Several types of Recon drones used by both sides...Top portion is Rus, bottom Ukr
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #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
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦
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

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
