The Russian military had launched pinpoint strikes against Kiev forces and repelled several attacks in the south Donetsk direction, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on June 13.
In a statement, the ministry said that strikes with long-range precision air-based weapons targets locations where the operational reserves of Kiev forces were amassed, as well as a Western-made ammunition and weapons depot.
Ukrainian troops continued to attempt to carry out an offensive in south Donetsk direction, as well as near Artyomovsk over the past 24 hours, according to the ministry.
In the Vremevka salient, Kiev forces launched an offensive with units hastily formed from the remnants of the Ukrainian brigades which had previously suffered heavy losses.
Three attacks by Ukrainian units reinforced with main battle tanks and armored fighting vehicles (IFVs) were stopped in the area of Makarovka in Donetsk. All the attacks were repelled by the Russian Vostok Group of Forces, air strikes and artillery fire. Out of ten Ukrainian armored personnel carriers that took part in the attacks, eight were destroyed.
Two Ukrainian attacks were also successfully repelled in the vicinity of Rovnopol in Donetsk. Two Ukrainian tanks and three IFVs were hit there.

Other videos showed the work of Russian artillery and the destruction of several Ukrainian howitzers, including at least one American-made M777.
Despite sustaining heavy losses in equipment and manpower, Kiev forces have failed to make any meaningful gains on the ground since launching their so-called spring counteroffensive on June 4. Still, the counteroffensive will likely go on for weeks, if not months.
