According to preliminary reports from the southern Ukrainian frontlines, Russian forces launched a counterattack in the settlements located on the border between the Zaporozhie region and the DPR.
On June 11, the AFU managed to take control of the villages of Neskuchnoe, Storojevoye and Blagodatnoe, after the Russian military wethdrew from the settlements. Ukrainian forces also attempted to advance southward and attacked Makarovka and Urozhainoe. As a result of the night battles, Russian troops were reportedly forced to retreat from Makarovka.
According to preliminary reports on the afternoon of June 12, clashes resumed in Makarovka, where Russian forces launched a counterattack. The village reportedly came back under the control of the Russian 127th division. The mop up operation is ongoing, while the Russian military continues pushing enemy back northward.
The AFU failed to break through Russian defence in Urozhainoe. The village remains under the Russian control. As well as the village of Novodonetskoe, located several kilometers to the east. To the west, battles are ongoing near Levadnoye and Novodarovka, where the AFU failed to establish a stronghold. The villages remain in the gray zone.

If the reports are confirmed, Russian gains reveal the tactics of the Russian military in the area. Since holding control of the villages located in the lowlands along the Mokrye Yaly river may lead to heavy losses and surrounding of Russian troops, the Russian military command decided not to fight for them ‘to death’. After Russian forces withdrew and the AFU could declare control of the settlements, the Ukrainian units are heavily shelled by Russian artillery from the commanding heights as well as by Russian aircraft. Having inflicted heavy damage to the Ukrainian grouping, Russian forces launch a ground counterattack on the remaining enemy units. Such “flexible defense” allows to inflict maximum losses to the advancing Ukrainian forces.
Control of the villages located south of Velikaya Novoselka were strategically important for the Russian military during the first days of Ukrainian offensive, since the military positions there allowed to spot the advancing Ukrainian troops in advance and destroy their vanguard forces. The main line of the Russian defence is located about 15 kilometers to the south, near Staromlinovka. The AFU need to break through several more Russian lines of strongholds in the area before they could reach it. Today, the main goal of the Russian military in the villages south of Velikaya Novoselka is not to hold or return the entire abandoned territory but to exhaust the AFU before they reach the main defensive lines.

over 75% of nato engineering, obstacle and mine clearing vehicles have been taken out and ukrainians haven’t even reached the most fortified russian lines, zelenskyy’s counter offensive is on its last legs, without any hope of achieving anything much. ukrainians are fleeing the war en masse, ukraine’s permanent population is now down to 29 million. viva putin. viva bashar hafez al-assad.
ahahahaha…only a fucking stupid vatnik shithead can believe those pathetic russian propaganda lies…
i believe them. they’re kicking our asses.
slava bandera, nazi?
ps i especially like the russian propaganda about taking bahkmut. when will little vlodymyr take his obligatory victory selfie there?
try to cope better pole
keep lying to yourself, corky dog. 😆😆😆
only a polack could make such a stupid comment and use bad language at the same time
he is not a pole, an ukrainians whos name seems polish. there are a lot of them in poland.
probably this way: while talking and cursing at the kiosk with beer they put together the strongest “phrase” , which then one of them translates in english; not too long , because “wojciech” must still type it on the smartphone. and this feeling , how they “fucked” the “russian shit”… as if they had shot down a russian mig-29. then cheers
wojciech = woj + ciech = war + joy , is an old slavic name
in the past 2 days alone, ukraine lost more manpower than what the us was losing in vietnam per month. is this the reason the paid trolls and butthurt belters are so active on sf rn😃😃😃😃?
ukcrop?????????
yep, a useful idiot!
no it is true. it is all over ukrianian telegram. there are even large amounts of refusals by uaf to advance knowing they lack cover and equipment necessary to do so. no propaganda here. just fact. there is proof of dozens of nato and older soviet mine and obstacle clearing vehicles littered in the fields.
i am an american and i believe his words 100%
nato armored vehicles and british armored vehicles in particular have always been ugly, and useless in a real shooting war, with one exception being the centurion tank first used in the last weeks of ww2.
the slab sided armored high sided’ school buses ‘ designed by the brits, canadians and the thick brits have been a total disaster when in fire fights with militaries who can fight back.
i look forward to seeing the uk challenger tanks burning or drowning in ukie land, lol.
well, ger an panzer were even more ugly than pretty british stuff like crusader. i like chieftain and scorpion as well.
ukraine’s permanent population is now more like 17 million. the rest are dead or stuffing themselves on euro peon tax cattle handouts in dying urupp aka the eussr.
z until the anglozionazi demon carcass rots on the rump ukrapper steppes.
what ever lies the western media spreads, once the counteroffensive is crushed, russian forces can advance deeper into ukraine.
did they admit to starting the counteroffensive yet? did they admit to losing bakhmut yet?
zelenscumm desperate for headlines that get him more money will sacrifice his troops in obvious traps.
a jew sacrificing white nationalists……. surprising !
the nato equipment is serving its purpose. and that purpose is leeching of tax payer money and lining the pockets of the oligarchy. in return they pay of the politicians with campaign donations.
hunter biden is in burisma since 2014. just a coincidence
russia will soon be the 2nd largest exporter of us/ nato weapons in the world, i’m sure they will send a lot of the captured equipment to the enemies of the countries supplying the ukraine.

dobrá práca, nasnímať vlastné zranenie či smrť. hotový filmový režisér. môže sa uchádzať o oskara za dokumentárny film.
same tactic since october 2022. exausting the ukro losers , eliminate the ukro canon fodder physically. russia told us the plan months ago. there is no mystery here. and then, when the poor losers are in their lowest, probably in october 2023, after more than 500 t casualities and without manpower it won’t matter how many mercs or hardware nato nazis sent. then will start the mopping up russland superiority is clear. nothing can be done.
moscow is not yet in sight for the ukrainians…
russia vs nato—inferior amerikan hillbillies humiliated..🤣🤣🤣🇷🇺
