As of June 18, heavy fighting continued in the Zaporozhye and south Donetsk sectors as Kiev forces made new attempts to advance along the frontline.
In Zaporozhye, Kiev forces renewed their attacks in the directions of the settlements of Orekhov and Pyatihatki despite sustaining heavy material and human losses a day earlier. Videos and photos from the sector showed Russian service members capturing Ukrainian troops, some of whom were trained by NATO.
The footage also shows destroyed military equipment, including American-made MaxxPro mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles.
Meanwhile in Donetsk, clashes are taking place near the settlement of Mariinka as well as in the Ugleadar area. However, Kiev forces have so far failed to make any gains.
The Kaskad battalion released video footage showing the destruction of a Ukrainian T-72 main battle tank with a Lancet loitering munition.
Furthermore, the Russian Center Group of Forces said in a statement that its artillery hit two gatherings of Ukrainian equipment in the direction of Krasno-Limansky. In addition, two 120 mm mortars and an ammunition transport vehicle were destroyed.
In addition, assault and aviation units of the group of troops carried out missile strikes on eight gatherings of manpower and artillery positions of Kiev forces.
Moreover, in the area of Serebryansky forestry, the movement of Ukrainian troops from the 67th Mechanized Brigade was discovered by the Center Group of Forces. As a result of the strike by the aviation and artillery of the group, an infantry fighting vehicle was destroyed, and a number of troops were killed or wounded.
In a related development, the Ukrainian United 24 initiative announced that it had raised $325 million and trained 10,000 drone operators since the start of the year as part of the Army of Drones project.
Ukraine launched its so-called spring counteroffensive on June 4. Despite sustaining heavy losses and failing to reach the Russian first line of defense, Kiev has apparently decided to step up its offensive operations across the frontline. Political pressure by backers in the West may be behind this escalation.

ukraine has liberated some minor villages. compared with the russian winter offensive it is running not better. at the moment this is no game changer for ukraine. the loss of bachmut against the win of some small villages. how can ukraine be confident?
question 1: how can russia liberate the annexed/reunited rajons if it can not win ground in any direction since bachmut?
q2: why can selensky refuse to negotiate if his troops are losing men and equipment and not gaining more weapons from empty nato storages or depleted population? his troops neither make gains. how can he claim to liberate all rajons including crimea from russian troops?
time to get realistic. ukraine has to give up lost territory to russia. russia has to accept that some parts of the new rajons stay under kiew control. the open questions are mutal security garantees for russia and ukraine. later is not alowed to become a nato and eu memeber nor military threat for russia. ukraine needs garantees that russia is not restarting the war.
q1: i agree that both sides didnt achieve too much territory lately. but there is one thing you must consider: russia has destroyed more military material and more nazis than ukraine has destroyed russian material and soldiers. so the plan of demilitarization of the nazis is going according to the plan. that said, russian is winning. and for the record: the name of that city is artyomovsk.
the name is now artyomovsk after russian liberation. don’t ask ukraine about the name. for me it is not a issue how to call it :)
but to be fair: russia lost too much tanks and soldiers. at the same time ethere is a demilitarizing of russia too. russian army has won experience and tactical ideas but for what price? usa had no loses but a weak russia after the operation in ukraine. is this how you want to end the war? ukraine dead russia exhausted and a strong usa in europe?
the us and its nato poodle has lost lots of ‘special advisers’ in ukraine. some the junta are still trying to dig out of their command centres.
q2: yes, it looks like the nazi clown will fight until the last ukra man. the only way to stop him is a mutiny. or the rf has to cut off the head of the snake by assassinating him. the 3rd option would be both scenarios at almost the same time, that means: a vacuum in power would motivate the opportunistic but realistic competitors of the nazi clown to act finally in the name of peace and in the name of ukranian lives.
it is a war of attrition. the defeated army is the one who is suffering more casualties, human and material losses, and cannot replace them. it is as simple as that. how many more mobilizations can the ukrainians make? what is the state of their armament supply? who is losing more weapons and manpower? the answers to these questions can give you an idea of the course of the fighting.
we, the global south, which is 3 times bigger and stronger than the collective west support the russian people and the russian federation. we believe that we live now in a multipolar world. the imperialistic colonialism imposed by the usa is now over. a fairer world has born. join it or fuck off!
looks like glorious russia took some more little piggies prisoner instead of fighting for banderastan to the death. lmfao soon, this little failed shitty terrorist rump state of ukraine will cease to exist he he heh 😆😆😆😆 россия корольроссия корольроссия корольроссия корольроссия король at least its fucking hilarious to watch them nazi fucks die like the pigs they are.

group therapy is not going to help with her schizophrenic multi sock accounts reality of facing the facts that the shitty little rump terrorist state of ukraine will most certainly cease to exist in the very near future. i would rather see the video of a russian soldier bringing that reality to the little tranny faggot personally. should not take too much longer for that reality to occur. heheheh
i think that the time has come to use the jokers in this game………putin,zelensky,biden,scholz etc. putin can appear on the battlefield together with the economic forum. biden can bring his son, zelensky his coke etc…
when the stupid russia generals realize, that the best defense is offense. russia generals are very poor tacticians and strategist.
awww look at this sad little troll coming out of his cave again
the best offense is watching your enemy bankrupt itself and thin its own herd without you having to lift a finger. ukrainians are their own worst enemy when it comes to battlefields, they treat it like a sports event with the main event being the 200 k run back to kiev in sneakers after abandoning the brand new gear the usa donated with the slave reparations money. heheheh 😆😆😆
