Kiev forces have reportedly made their first gains since launching their so-called spring counteroffensive on the Zaporozhye and south Donetsk sectors exactly a week ago.
The WarGonzo channel on Telegram said that Kiev forces were able to capture the village of Lobkove in Zaporozhye on June 11 after fierce clashes with the Russian military. Footage from the ground showed Ukrainian vehicles moving in the village and helicopters flying over the frontline in Zaporozhye region.
Russian troops withdrew to prepared defensive lines that overlooks Lobkove. Kiev forces are likely preparing to launch an attack from the village. However, higher ground will give Russian artillery and anti-armor means an advantage.
The Russian withdrawal from the villages mimics defensive maneuvers which were conducted on the south Donetsk sector when the Ukrainian counteroffensive first began on June 4.
Kiev forces sustained catastrophic losses while attempting to attack over the past week. Many of their German-made Leopard 2 and American-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles have already been destroyed or damaged. Nevertheless, they still possess enough manpower and equipment to attempt to break through Russian defense lines in the Zaporozhye and south Donetsk sectors.
The initial success in Lobkove will encourage the Kiev regime to further develop its counteroffensive. Pressure on the Russian military will likely increase in the upcoming few days.

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 🤣🤣?
as for the “gains”, those stupid ukro goblins once again allowed themselves to be herded into a vulnerable position. i guess they’re still not tired of getting slaughtered. eagerly awaiting the results of the inevitable russian arty and air stikes.
seems a bit humiliating for the russians, 2nd in the world as military might and a nuclear superpower, that after 1 and a half years, they have to desperately defend.. against lol ukraine? ukraine is a shithole , if you have to try to defend and ukraine is attacking … that is the very definition of defeat for russia.
it might have something to do with the fact that the russians have been outnumbered 3-4x by the ukro goblins throughout the entirety of the conflict, that did not stop the russians from already liberating 20% of the country + disarming the entire western world 😃
it is 30+ countries (nato) dickhead. ukraine is just the host country. do keep up gypsy moron.
the us was defending for 20 or so years against peasants who were not being armed by anyone, and surrendered to them. superpower? ukraine is the most heavily equipped peer adversary that a superpower has fought against since world war two
go back to real job of stealing hubcaps!!!
poti sa sugi pula, tradatorule ! voi ati vandut tara, voi sa crapati. ciuda mare ca russia lupta contra a 50+ state cu success ? pai, sa o sugi si mai tare, zdreamta securista !
sunny, the ukie nazi troll bitches are crying on all platforms. nazis are meant to be tough (according to hollywood), but it seems they are pussies after all.
ahahahaha…dream on fuckhead…there were more ruzzian mobik faggot pussies killed…
thanks for sharing your insights toilet cleaner. i guess ill just disregard all other data then. including but not limited to video evidence, photos, testimonies etc.
like a pole would see a difference if a ukrainian or russian would die they hate them both.
russians have an agenda: that means they wait for a certain number of collective shit vehicles to be scrapped along zapo frontline (pma predict it now reach 20% of the demanded one) before launch a very aggressive counter which will lead finally to control more settlements than before hohol suicide. that is called a pulse step. so, there is about a max 1 month ahead of fights and/or another 400 pcs of armored material of atlantic shit put to rest.
there is no importance of the ukro hominids killed here, 100 or 10.000 no matter. what the russians going for is the utterly destruction of at least 500 armored vehicles because of the calculations and the strategy. and step 2 is to a counter-counter fuckof bandera wankers to remain in the end with a plus of settlements: no matter is 3 or 30, but the more the better).
by the way, i hope you are also paid to write days after days, after days and many time in one single day your “comments”on sf. if not, you should look instead to spend at least a part of the time you spend on this site to do something more productive things or simply go for a walk or just relax…
russians are doing what they do best…defense.. they eventually redraw (tactical retreat) giving the ennemy the impression they are winning…pooring in more troops, material, equipment..meanwhile the russians, redrawn to strategically advanced places start shelling the occupied territories….killing off in massive numbers ennemies without losses of any significance on their side.. we have seen a very good example of that masterplan in acrtion in kherson….
tell me more about tactical retreat and elastic defence, please :) i remember how the germans used those terms in ww2 … and how they tactically retreated to berlin
do not forget that it was your people who were on the side of the nazis in ww2 and died alongside them in stalingrad.
esti un dobitoc.
you do realise that since russia is russia, considered 2nd in the world as military power and it was their operation to go in ukraine, to have to defend now versus an ukro offensive is incredibly humiliating. we should watch news about fightings in kiev… not desperate defence in zaporoje
you’re right. now that the ukrainians have taken a small village in the grey zone, that’s surrounded by high ground, they will surely push the russians back to moscow, surely 🤡🤡🤡 just 2 more weeks.
also, let’s completely ignore that russia has deployed only a small part of it’s army to ukraine, that currently has an army bigger than germany, france, the uk, netherlands and belgium combined. and even with this small force the russians are absolutely shitting on the ukros 😂
where is that large army of russia undeployed? 90 % of your army is already in ukraine… and all you can do is defend vs a shitty country like ukraine . yes, the russians will not be pushed back, not lose crimea, at least they can defend … but not to be able to break ukraine? that’s so humiliating….
are you unironically suggesting that 300.000 is the entire sum of men that a country as big as russia can mobilize? like seriously? for real? no joke? i don’t mean to be condescending but… for real?
you had 1 million, 300k-400k of that are auxiliaries, logistics, meintenance and all that. also the navy has probably around 200k … not deployed in ukr. considering also your losses so far, lets not say 200k as the ukies report, but 100k dead and wounded , if you still have 200k combat ready troops in ukraine and 100k auxiliary porsonel, that is pretty much all your army.
i guess i should probably not mention how many men russia could mobilize if called for, it might be a bit of a shock to you. maybe it’s best you look into the matter yourself. i’ll give you a hint though. russia is a bigger country than ukraine, and certainly has a larger population than ukraine post exodus into europe.
no argument about how many russia can mobilise, it could be 20 millions + soldiers.. but they didnt do that
they did not do that cause the real enemy is nato. ukraine is a distraction. if russia sends to much of its forces into ukraine, poland will charge at belarus or kaliningrad and romania at transnistria, turkey at armenia and georgia at ossatia and abhasia. the us have prepared a plan to long term overstrech and destroy russia. so russia must be really carefull how much troops they commit at which frontline.
odpoveď nájdeš vo veľkej vlasteneckej vojne. tu je sila, ktorú by rf vedela dať do boja ak by to ozaj potrebovala. tých 300 000 ktoré spomínaš je iba čiastočná mobilizácia a aj to iba záložákov, teda takých, čo dakedy už slúžili v armáde.
ha, ha, ha … rus rozbije ukrajinu a potom ju 20 rokov bude nanovo budovať? rus radšej počká v donbase ten je zničený ešte od doby 2014, kedy ho zničili banderovské fašistické svine. teraz na tomto území vykántri tú fašistickú háveď a ukrajinu potom až následne oslobodí. a to celú!!!
show proof!
everyone is volunteering too! they know this is a just war against the nato evil nonsense hate and deceptions. .
this phase of war is decisive. either russia holds firm for the next 2 or 3 month and destroys the afu attack army (which consists of all general mobilized folk) or it loses the south including crimea.
if russia can attritie the afu the war is won ukraine can not mobilize again such an amount. whereas russia did not mobilize all men.
russia will not lose crimea, they would nuke ukraine 10 times before that happens … but still … to lose all their gains would mean disaster
russia has also gained circa 3 million ethnic russians who were being oppressed by the nato led forces of ukie land.
that’s what the stupid ucrap nazi trolls ignore! there are still a lot of ukrainians be them russian or other that oppose the nazi scum, remaining in nazi occupied territories.
1 village—15,000 dead hohol troops…..impressive
impressive…one village 15000 ruzzian nazis captured…
keep on cheering the ukie orcs! the next to die in masses are the poles, stupid! 😃😃😃 but you deserve it! 😃😃😃😃😃
come get some ruzzian scum…you will die extra slowly in agony as all fucking ruzzian orc nazis deserve it
nah you poles with take it in the ass like every single time in history. go get some lube.
ukrainians advancing into an unfortified area that isn’t even part of the russian defense scheme. at least when the russians get stopped, they get stopped by trenches and defenses. the ukrainians and their western gear were being stopped and destroyed in the open by russians who weren’t even hiding in trenches
ako na to pozerám, tak mi to príde, že ruské vojská čakajú kým neprídu ďalšie posily aby až potom následne na nich udreli. zrejme je kontraproduktívne udierať na tak malú skupinu a prezradiť tak svoje pozície. taktika boja je vždy základom úspechu. uvidíme aká bude situácia zajtra. to už po tých fašistoch ostanú len mastné fľaky, predpokladám. uvidíme, možno sa pletiem.
așteptați răspunsul. o noua calibrare a artileriei. vin elicopterele. sa le spuneți sa le folosească mai des. maine harta e la fel ca acum o săptămână.
ukrainians want territory, attack civillians, are brutal, have a lack of regard for their own and for humanity, they are crooked and deceitful, they keep their backers happy and they have a mutual pqarasitic relationship. ukraine sucks their money and nato sucks ukrainian blood.
russia has regard for civillians, their solidiers, humanity. they are mostly full of integrity. russians cede territory rather like one gives up peices to win the game in chess. unfortunatley russia is afraid of their enemy, nato but not sufficiently afraid of it to crush it outside of ukraine. this has to be done. nato has to be afraid of crossing russias red lines instead of vv. russia needs to work out, with their allies, just how they are going to crush nato.
we know how russian handle civilians. mass graves in cities which are no longer under they rule show it. also leaving ukraine civilians after blowing up kchachovka and block them from escape show it.
where were the mass grav3s in kherson?
russia has nothinf to gain from blowing up khakovka, but the ukrainian offensive was impossible if the dam was still standing.
also the reservoir was full to the brim because the ukrainians up river opened up their dams, thus putting immense pressure on a dam that been shelled by afu for a year.
these are the facts.
you have no idea how water works, all you can do is copy paste.
russia needs to provoke nato into taking evil actions that cross red lines and then it has an authority and right to respond with a force that smashes nato. before that, russia has to create a plan with china on how to destroy nato. it may also be of benefit to russia to act as if they can smash nato into dust, to be more fearless.
the one important thing the russians learned in this war is that they have no allys in this war. plenty of business partners and potentiel friends in peace time but no allys. before this war started putin met xi and whatever was promissed was not delivered and russia stands allone. i am looking forward to russia moving they fleet out of the way then the us navy deletes the chinese one. different to china they will not even deliver drones and ammunition to the enemy. just not do a thing.
you have got to be kidding. and the noise that passes as music is just as bad.
so ukraine will kill now the people from the village and say the russians did it. do not occupy a village or town you are not ready to hold forever or evacuate the people if you leave or they are doomed. oh and evacuate them out of range of anything nato might give ukraine.
all people cheering the killing no mater of whom are like those guys in the capitol in hunger games watching the killing and placing bets.
russia strategy still poor and fallers. first, russia military still have not mobilize enough solders. russia needs at least 1.5 million more troops. second looks like have not enough military hardware, such as manpod. for examples, those ua helicopter should be destroyed by manpod’s. russia went unprepared for the ua operation. this should be done long time ago, but russia lieders blunders still dragging the war and more civilians sufferings and more dead solders
everything goes according to the plan… ukrainians will attack at 25 places… russians call in reinforcements, run out of supplies… then nato iron fist will strike… russians run away… and it ends with a walk in the park…
did that incompetent general sergey kuzhugetovitch shoygu foresee this situation? he mobilized 300,000 reservists to do one thing: defend themselves.
