In the Donetsk direction, the most active fighting between the Russian military and Kiev forces took place between the towns of Mariynka and Avdeevka.
The Yug Group of Forces successfully repelled six attacks by units of the 110th mechanized, 59th motorized infantry and 79th airborne brigades of Kiev close to Khimik, Krasnogorovka, Pervomaiskoye, and the northern edge of Mariynka in Donetsk. There were no incursions into Russia’s defense.

One sabotage and reconnaissance group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been disabled close to Chervonaya Dibrova (Lugansk People’s Republic).
The enemy has suffered losses of over 50 Ukrainian troops, one armored fighting vehicle, two motor vehicles, two Gvozdika self-propelled artillery systems, and one D-20 howitzer in this direction in the past 24 hours.
A U.S.-made AN/TPQ-37 counterbattery radar station was destroyed near Serebryanka (Donetsk People’s Republic).

A communication station of the 102nd Territorial Defence Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been destroyed near Gulyai Pole (Zaporozhye region).
A MiG-29 aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force has been shot down by Russian fighter jet close to Novoye Zaporozhye (Zaporozhye region) in an aerial battle.
Russian air defense facilities have shot down one Su-25 airplane of Ukrainian Air Force near Babino (Kherson region).
Air defense forces have intercepted two Storm Shadow cruise missiles and 14 HIMARS MLRS projectiles during the day.
In addition, 13 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed in the areas of Ogurtsovo, Olshana (Kharkov region), Zhitlovka (Lugansk People’s Republic), Volodino, Krasnogorovka (Donetsk People’s Republic), Sladkaya Balka (Zaporozhye region), Bratolyubovka, Peschanoye, and Vasilyevka (Kherson region).
In total, 440 airplanes and 238 helicopters, 4,555 unmanned aerial vehicles, 424 air defense missile systems, 9,798 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 1,122 combat vehicles equipped with MRLS, 5,062 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 10,838 units of special military equipment have been destroyed during the special military operation.
Meanwhile, more videos surfaced online documenting recent Ukrainian losses in the directions of Zaporozhye and Donetsk which were the most active.
Some videos show Russian attack helicopters and tank hunters engaging Ukrainian equipment, including Leopard 2 main battle tanks and Bradley IFVs, as well as armored vehicles which were abandoned by Kiev forces after recent failed attacks. Others show a damaged Ukrainian Leopard 2 and a series of attacks with suicide drones against Kiev forces.
Kiev forces suffered catastrophic losses while attempting to advance near Orekhov village in Zaporozhye a day earlier, in the framework of its so-called spring counteroffensive.
Since the start of the counteroffensive on June 4, Ukraine made no gains whatsoever on the group. Russian defense lines remain intact. Despite suffering heavy losses, the Kiev regime will likely push its forces to launch more attacks in the upcoming days in order to appease its backers in NATO.

with no air force in a wide open flat land where everyone can see everyone from miles away, this thing has turned out to a turkey shoot.
leopards belong after all to africa , they are lost in ukraine
for some silly reason they believed leos and even paper-armored bradleys are invincible
they were swallowing propaganda that appears daily on western media.
russia favwd the same problems in soledar and ugledar. it’s hard to achieve something against well fortified positions.
to the russians, destroying nato equiment has become so commonplace that in those videos they sound almost indifferent to it. in their dialogues they’re like “there goes another one”. it’s just another day in the office for em.
in the zaporozhye direction, the armed forces of ukraine launched an attack on lobkove and had a tactical success. two roads meet in the village. east of the uaf continued the offensive on rabotino. russian artillery and aviation attacked ukrainian units in stepnoe, maly shcherbaki, shcherbaki, novoandreevka, orekhovo, novodanilovka, malaya tokmachka and belogorye. the armed forces of ukraine launched a missile attack on berdyansk.
more lies. western lie machine working in full swing.
on the donetsk front, the armed forces of ukraine are trying to counterattack in maryinka. in turn, units of the russian armed forces, with the support of artillery, resumed assault operations near pervomaisky, on the southwestern approaches to avdiivka and in the severny area (a settlement northwest of gorlovka). the last of these areas has become a new active area of action for russian troops.
southwest of bakhmut, the ukrainian army managed to advance towards kleshcheevka. the armed forces of the russian federation, after artillery strikes, tried to counterattack near ivanovsky. no success..
pathetic ukrotroll spamming some garbage from nafo-twitter, it reeks of desperation.
dream on… it’s your fantasy.😆🤮 😂
can you even read? 9798 tanks and other armored vehicles
and since the start of smo last year, not in last days. konoshenkov must read the additional version for the retarded lol
yes, the ukrainians had 1/3rd of the soviet arsenal and have had literally thousands of tanks and other armor vehicles donated to them…………….have you not been watching the news reports of all the hardware former eastern bloc and nato countries have sent? it doesn’t say 9000 tanks, it says 9000 tanks and armored vehicles. a supply truck would be considered an armored vehicle, etc…
sure, but we also shoud be realistic. these number are a total of hits, but many of the hits are no total destructions or only damages, also the ukros use many mock ups made from the poles, chech and others, so somethimes not clear what was hit.
to the south-west of bakhmut, the armed forces of ukraine conducted assault operations in the area of berkhovka and dubovo-vasilyevka. and the units of the armed forces of the russian federation, with the support of artillery, tried to advance towards vesyoloy.
you can ‘try’ anything. but you won’t succeed.
nazees should die , take no prisoners
on the orekhov-rabotino line, rf troops managed to drive uaf out of half of the positions uaf occupied. currently, the fighting continues.uaf actively uses mortars and tanks, but mainly infantry.
yeah don’t forget to mention, germans and they leopard (wunderwaffe) are alredy in moskau skandinavians working on rebuilding of ikea coused by massiv bombing of ato trups ,such success for nato loser incredible ,you may need some medical help i don’t know what kind of stuff you are taking but it must be very strong
never was a tank designated „wunderwaffe“. u shd realize official rusdia (=sf) is feeding you as many lies as cnn
ok no “wunderwaffe” , but no “game changer” either. just scrap heap , accepted?
keep watching cnn buddy.
millions of dollars to fight for bunch of hedgerows. i wonder if zelensky’s surrender will be telivised. video of him signing the bit of paper admitting he is a twat and nothing more than a puppet.
he won’t surrender. if the ukrainians start losing badly enough, he’ll be couped. his prewar approval ratings make biden and macron look good. that’s the precise reason he’s become a maximalist: war, lots of aid. no war, get arrested or shot, or just lose power.
cope, westoid rat. you put your money on losing horses. because you’re a loser. a gullible brainwashed useful idiot.
oof. meant to quote that demons > humans idiot
russians built defenses in deep, ukroids failed to even breach the first/weakest line so far with massive losses. so far soo good, but again, too early to celebrate yet.
are you blind?
“tanks and other armored combat vehicles” so yeah, quite possible number for 15 months of war especially if you include vehicles like hummers
as a german i was already ashamed when they forced olaf the cuck to give our tanks to ukro-terrorists
now i’m ashamed even more when i see them burning …. next time yankees send your own tanks to your wars.
washington dc leading from behind: europeans pay with their money, ukrainians pay with their blood. everyone loses in this war except the empire.
remember both world wars. usa put boots on the ground in europe when most of the heavy lifting had already been done by others. hollywood would have you believe otherwise.
uh all lies, private ryan single handedly won ww2. he was the ghost of kiev of his time.
440 aircraft shot down. kinda hard to believe ukraine had more aircraft than france, or the uk.
turkey has more aircrafts than france or the uk.
it looks drones are counted also here
no they are not , they are counted extra but not reported by konashenkov.
hey, if they counted drones too, then we’d be looking at 1,000’s.
yes, let’s all ignore how other eu countries have been supplying ukraine with migs for almost a year now.
consider ukraine has inherited sovjet weapons , also military industry , they had skilled technicians and scientists, then the west spent billions over billions in military infrastructure , they brought weapons to ukraine , offiially and hidden , and after february 2022 once again the 10fold amount of all this. for a big country like ukraine it is rather little and not much.
“kinda hard to believe ukraine had more aircraft than france, or the uk.”
not any more.
just btw, we’ll see another couple dozen added to the tally when the australian f-18’s arrive in theatre.
and probably a couple hundred more when the f-16’s arrive.
stop exploding you cowards!!🤬🤬🤬🥵
see taliban therapist stop glue sniff, no smoking crack, double prozac
hey tomsawyer, where’s your trademark “😆😆😆”?
you’re slipping, dude.
we all know it’s a hard life rounding up hawgs, but if you’re going to make extra pennies beuing a professional troll, at least try to maintain your standards and be consistent.
otherwise, how can we take you seriously? 😆😆😆
i love how they massed them together lol, after months of laughing at russians at twitter how russians pack their tanks too close (which was true sometimes), ukrops packed their shite even closer. and they were trained in the west for months 😁
nato training has gone woke and many of the senior officers are secret trannies. the best officers are more difficult to control and few of them get top rank promotions.
the huddling together of armored formations is another symptom of wokeness and piss poor leadership.
what they all need is a rainbow paint job.
that would definitely get some airplay on cnn, and that’s what really counts, after all.
maybe a gay pride march by the tanks will make all the difference.
i got a feeling this will be a bad, bad month in copeistan… tomsawyer is not even in the mood for manipulating the likes
most my hillbilly mulatto lovers smoke crack with jens
hey tomsawyer dude!
we’re not going to ask you again – where’s your calling-card “😆😆😆”?
if you don’t lift your game, i’m going to file a complaint with the pay-per-post bumbandit forum trolls union.
i found manyy things in my behind, verry strange and disturbing things. perhaps even a leopard tank.
we danes sent all our tanks to ukraine only those in my behind remain
did sawyer teach to clean toilet when you were janitor in 1970
so what you’re saying, jens, is that you have a huge arse.
maybe they could use you over there on michael baxter’s bs real raw news web site.
i hear those clones the michael baxter talks so much about are easily identifiable by the fact that they have enormous butts. that’s why it’s so hard to determine if hillary clinton is the real thing or a clone.
but here’s the question now, jens – are you a clone? naughty jens!
“it may be dangerous to be our enemy; it is fatal to be our friend”. henry kissinger…..hohols learning slowly
they would burn just like everything else sent to ukraine. smacking my lips awaiting the next wunderwaffe. bring on the f16s!
i would like to see some leopard´s burning
it would be big enough.
how dare you?!!! save leopards before its too late!
hillbilly sawyer lost self respect; but graduated 4th grade —i lost my janitor job–russian victory very painful
