The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have secured a series of important victories this week, liberating six more settlements across different operational directions while making significant progress toward Dnipropetrovsk region. The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the liberation of Zarya (DPR), Yablonovka (Sumy Oblast), Petrovskoye (Orekhovo), Alekseyevka, Koptevo (DPR), and the strategically vital settlement of Komar, marking a decisive shift in momentum on the southern front.
One of the most significant tactical achievement came with the liberation of Komar declared on June 13th. This town located on the crossroads was turned into a heavily fortified Ukrainian stronghold on the South Donetsk axis. After days of intense combat, units of the 336th Naval Infantry Brigade and the 37th Motorized Rifle Brigade (36th Army) successfully stormed the town, overcoming layered defenses, natural water barriers, and entrenched Ukrainian positions. Russian forces have now secured a 3.5 by 4 km defensive zone within Komar, with troops raising flags across the settlement. Over 1,100 strongholds were mopped up during the operation, dealing a severe blow to Ukrainian logistics and command networks in the region.
Battle for Komar:
Control of Komar paves the way toward Dnipropetrovsk region, where Russian forces are already making advances. With Ukrainian troops trying to resist in semi-encirclement near Zelenyi Kut and Novoukrainka after the recent fall of Alekseevka officially confirmed on June 12th, further breakthroughs in this sector appear imminent.
Battle for Alekseevka, where civilians are planting potatoes amid battles:
On June 12th, the Russian Ministry of Defense also officially confirmed the full control of Orekhovo, near which Russian troops crossed the Dnepropetrovsk border less than a week ago. Another victory was confirmed in Koptevo located on the western flank of the Pokrovsk agglomeration.

Ukrainian forces are struggling to hold their positions as Russian troops exploit critical weaknesses in their defensive lines. Reports indicate that fortifications in Dnipropetrovsk region are underdeveloped, with insufficient minefields, lack of hardened shelters, and severe personnel shortages—issues exacerbated by corruption in Kyiv’s military administration.
Russian forces maintain overwhelming superiority in manpower, artillery, and aviation, constantly degrading Ukrainian combat capabilities. Military analysts emphasize that the goal is not just territorial gains but rendering Ukrainian units combat-ineffective, disrupting their ability to reinforce and resupply.
With 80% of the DPR now under Russian control, the focus is shifting toward Dnipropetrovsk region. The fall of Komar has removed the last major obstacle on this axis, allowing Russian forces to accelerate their push deeper into Kyiv-held territory.

In the Sumy direction, troops of the “Sever” (North) Group liberated Yablonovka on June 13th, straightening the front, expanding the security zone near the border and paving the way for further offensive deep in the region. Battle for the important stronghold of Yunakovka is also coming to its end. The roads west of Yunakovka have already been cut as a result of the recent Russian assaults. The Ukrainian garrison is trying to resist in semi-encirclement.
As Russian troops consolidate their gains, Ukrainian forces are being forced to retreat to secondary defensive lines—many of which are poorly prepared. The continued advance threatens to further destabilize Kyiv’s already strained war effort, signaling a potential collapse of Ukrainian resistance in different regions.
The past week’s victories underscore Russia’s growing battlefield dominance. With Komar secured and Dnipropetrovsk region being pulled into hostilities, Russian forces are poised to deliver another major strategic blow to Ukraine. As Ukrainian defenses falter, the prospect of further territorial and administrative consolidation becomes inevitable, bringing Moscow closer to its operational objectives.
hehehehehheehe ukraine continues to lose ground hehehehehehhe
the horde spreads like molasses, but it is very sticky none the less
girls, how is the three days special operation going? 🇷🇺=🤡 😆😆😆
more than a million ukraine soldiers dead. i would say the eug enicists in sweden and london are winning .
you must take out the swedish regime, and their banksters, so swedes also can grow potatoes. its very unclear who give out “money” in sweden. banksters which demand you are a millionaire for to grow potatoes, or the state, which mass murder in the hospitals. its a madhouse. last year they asphalt a road they had asphalt the year before, or something. its for to keep the working slave cast happy, and alert for hospital murdering.
better or worse than the ato?
after iran, or maybe at the sane time, that group meeting in stockholm will take out russia. you better do something quite serious, if russia is to survive.
i think russ got the point, first strike or pack up the lunch bag and go home. i think they are preparing the 1st strike. nothing to loose.
russian ally iran is being butt-rammed by israel…heheheh
afu frontlines are poorly manned and overstretched. keep up the pressure and it cannot take long. btw russian army pulled back in 2022 to avoid fighting in large cities stalingrad style. they just have to besiege kiev and trade it for odessa🍿🥤🍿
coward iranians abandoned syria…now they will be abandoned by coward russia…
heheheh
a family just planting potatoes … god has been protecting them
komar – village of 10 destroyed old houses and no civilians living there. what a victory 🤣
would it be as great a victory as the ukrainian triumphs at debaltsevo, or melitopol, or mariupol, or artyomovsk or avdeevka?
