Ukraine claims to have liberated Donetsk village
UKRAINE CAPTURED STOROSHEVE, NOVODARIVKA, LEVADNE; heavy fighting at Makarivka and Urozhaine
Russian Counterattack | Ukrainian Summer Offensive 12/06/23
”Zaporozhye, Orekhovsky sector of the front.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine did not leave their intentions to go towards Tokmak and Melitopol in this direction.
For 35 hours, half a row (since 12:00 the previous day), our positions were subjected to heavy shelling.
There has just been silence. The intensity of Ukrainian attacks has significantly decreased.
Now only teams of sappers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine come forward in order to clear the passages for new assaults.
The 58th Army is ready for defense.”- Russian war correspondent Aleksander Sladkov
Situation on Velika Novoselovka at 23:30 Moscow time⚡️
We are forced to state that all victorious statements on Makarovka are premature. The settlement is still the site of fierce fighting.
“The enemy carries out the delivery of infantry in small groups, using light vehicles, which, in case of operational detection from the air, makes it difficult to engage quickly. Therefore, our strikes fall on enemy clusters that are already in Makarovka and are trying to gain a foothold there, ”says the source of the @wargonzo project, who is in the thick of things.
Contrary to forecasts, it was not possible to recapture the village by the end of the day. We hope that tomorrow our attempts in this direction will be crowned with success and the neo-Nazis will not be able to gain a foothold at this height.
And in general, it’s time to understand that this section of the front is not as successful for us as the Orekhovskoye direction. There is an advance of the enemy, and it will not be possible to deny it, no matter how much you call the blue zone gray. By drawing non-existent advances, we are doing ourselves a disservice by risking our own front.
According to incoming information, in Makarovka and near Urozhaynoye, as well as in other villages occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, our dill cannot gain a foothold. Actually, the entire area of the villages of the Vremievsky ledge is now a huge destruction zone of our artillery, mainly the OBTF cascade, marines and aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
Based on what flies from this hot spot, Dill clearly shows that the game with a rollback and a flurry of abandoned positions can be played together. As a result, the pictures with the administrative buildings of the villages, which they “taped” the day before, are just a media consolation
Battle for the Vremevsky Salient:
▪️“Russian troops have deployed significant reserves to stabilize the situation on the front line,” Ukrainian military analysts say.
▪️ The units of the RF Armed Forces hold the heights and counterattack.
▪️ Fighting continues in the area of the village of Makarovka, Russian troops are attacking from the dominant heights.
▪️ West of Storozhevoi, fierce battles for the heights continued in the morning.
▪️ There is no fighting near Levadny, the enemy retreated to the forest lines.
▪️ In the area of the village of Urozhaynoye, the most difficult oncoming battles are going on.
▪️ The enemy did not consolidate in Novodarovka, probably the village is still in the gray zone.
▪️ The enemy is also pulling up and bringing reserves into battle.
❗️Engineering units of the AFU received an order and are making attempts to clear our positions in a number of sectors of the front for sudden attacks from unexpected directions.
“I’ll tell you while I have the time:
In the Zaporozhye direction, “Azov” member was found in the enemy’s detachments, so that the infantry would not run away.
The AFU began to take care of the equipment and walk with their feet in the assaults, apparently they had a team from the owners of the equipment[West officers and West mercenaries].
Judging by the radio intercepts, they have heavy losses and many do not particularly want to go into a counteroffensive.
The Athlete is in touch.” – Archangel Spetsnaz
Brigades with Western arms make “small gains” against Russia’s defensive lines in occupied regions
“They were just waiting for us…prepared positions everywhere,” the 28-year-old Ukrainian soldier said. “It was a wall of steel. It was horrendous.” Russian forces have spent months preparing for attacks in occupied parts of the country’s south, where the Ukrainians would like to push through and cut the land bridge that connects Russia to Crimea. Videos posted on social media have appeared to show the loss of a few Leopard tanks and several U.S.-made Bradley Fighting Vehicles in the southern Zaporozhya region, where flat, open fields offer almost no cover for an attacking force.
The ultimate goal of the counteroffensive is to retake all territories, including Crimea.
Adviser to the President of Ukraine Igor Zhovkva said this in an interview with CNN.
He sought to dispel any expectation that the offensive would produce quick results, saying that it could take Ukraine many months to reach its goals.
In the same vein, he recalled that this was not the first Ukrainian counter-offensive, referring to the successful offensives of the Ukrainian army in September and October, when Russian troops were driven out of the Kharkiv region and the northern part of the Kherson region.
The current offensive “probably will not be the last counter-offensive operation,” he added.
He also said that if Ukraine wants to succeed, it needs Western partners to supply more artillery and ammunition.
Tomorrow, the US may announce a new $325 million military aid package to Ukraine. It is reported by “Voice of America”.
New military aid will be allocated through the Presidential Drawdown Authority mechanism, that is, directly from US military depots.
According to Voice of America, the package will include Bradley and Stryker infantry fighting vehicles, which can replace those already damaged or destroyed, as well as ammunition for HIMARS and NASAMS systems.
The U.S. said it would not assess the Ukrainian counteroffensive
Coordinator for Strategic Communications in the White House National Security Council John Kirby said that his country will focus “on ensuring that Ukraine can succeed on the battlefield”
The U.S. does not deny the beginning of the Ukrainian offensive, but will not evaluate it. This was stated by John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications in the National Security Council (NSC) of the White House, at a regular briefing on Monday.
“We will refrain from evaluating . It is obvious that the fighting during offensive operations takes place, there is no doubt. But evaluating them is the business of President [Ukraine Vladimir] Zelensky, not ours. And the Armed Forces of Ukraine should talk about losses and acquisitions on a separate day,” he said.
“We will focus on ensuring that Ukraine can succeed on the battlefield,” Kirby added.
After negotiations they drove to the Russian side on a BMP.
In our heading “thinking aloud from the scene” a participant in the recent successful defense of the Russian Zaporozhye, who fought in the direction of Orekhov-Rabotino, makes a report.
“I report that the enemy is no longer taking attacking actions in our sector.
Most likely, we have ground their main strike potential. Not even likely, but definitely.
In the end, it is not entirely clear what exactly they were planning. If you put your people down and let us show off with the equipment issued to them by the West, then everything worked out. But perhaps they wanted something else?
We know what we wanted. Their strike group was supposed to cut through the front and reach Tokmak. There, the reserve only had to be brought up to start fighting in the city.
Now the enemy is gathering additional reserves. There are more of them, but they are much less trained. Many have no combat experience at all.
From the seventh to the ninth, really excellent fighters went into battle – professionally trained, with combat experience. Unwinding such an enemy in a fair fight is a pleasure.
When it all started, our units also pulled up reserves. They continue to strengthen even now, restoring the original advantage over the attackers. They cleared too many minefields with manpower.
Our group and I completed the task in full, now we are going to the base. It is necessary to take a breath, service weapons, write reports, calculate the damage.
In general, most of the fighters are positive, we have been waiting for such a battle for a very long time. We are quite satisfied with its outcome. Everyone understood that with proper management and an adequate response from the senior command, we will keep the Nazis going further. The enemy will not pass! And then, you see, our time will come.
Achilles is the son of Peleus, especially for the @wargonzo project
New information is coming from the territories controlled by Ukraine.
In Zaporozhye, over the past 4 days, almost all medical institutions of the city were filled with Ukrainian soldiers. About 1,500 wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were delivered to the 5th hospital alone. At the same time, the active movement of tow trucks in the amount of 200-300 units is recorded in the city. These are just some of the facts of the consequences of the offensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on this sector of the front.
There is also information about the activation of the work of the SBU in Konstantinovka and Kramatorsk. The task is to carry out a demonstrative purge on the “Day of Russia” and to detain all persons involved in the Donbas independence referendum held on May 11, 2014.
AFU offensive through the eyes of Western media
Wall Street Journal:
“According to a 28-year-old soldier, as soon as the regiment crossed the road behind Malaya Tokmachka, the Russians started shelling them with Grads. “The fields were mined. Russian helicopters and fighter jets were humming overhead,” the soldier reports.
According to the soldier, one of the Leopards was hit and put out of action. “They were just waiting for us… positions were prepared everywhere. It was a wall of steel. It was horrible.”, states the military.
“The plan was to
to move south towards the Russian-occupied town of Tokmak… The other two units would also advance towards Tokmak from different directions,” said one of the soldiers.
A soldier with the call sign “Finn”, fighting near Velyka Novoselka, says that MaxxPro armoured vehicles are losing effectiveness due to the rains and in swampy terrain.
“They were designed for urban combat and desert. In our reality
they can get through, but it’s a struggle.”, he revealed.
AFP:
An AFU mechanised unit that took part in the recent attacks near Orekhovo, Zaporozhye region, lost six of its nine American Bradley IFVs.
Only one IFV escaped any damage. Two others were probably damaged but could be repaired and returned to service.
Asked by AFP about the outcome of the offensive in this section of the front, one of the Ukrainian soldiers, instead of answering, pointed “zero” with his fingers.
WSJ:
“It was more than we expected,” said the 35-year-old platoon leader of Ukraine’s 21st Mechanised Brigade, who took part in the assault at Orekhove in the southern Zaporozhye region.
The successes at Orekhove “were less than expected. The first Ukrainian attacks failed when the
an armoured column ran into a minefield and was hit by return fire.
Kiev’s aim is “to confuse the Russians as to where the main strike will take place”, says former NATO forces commander in Europe Ben Hodges. In his opinion,
such a blow has not yet been struck.
“When the main strike of the Ukrainian offensive comes, it is likely to involve formations with several hundred tanks and infantry fighting vehicles,” the article says.
sashakots
▪️ Our people are somewhat confused and do not understand why the AFU is throwing their troops at machine guns in a “human wave” mode. It’s like their command is off the chain.
▪️ And here is what they write on the Ukrainian side: the troops were promised that the main forces would enter the battle as soon as a breakthrough would happen, and it appeared just at the “Vremievskoye ledge”, which had been under frontal attack by the AFU all week, taking advantage of their numerical superiority.
▪️ The Ukrainians write that the command from above received an order: to compensate for the lack of air support with “human waves” in a frontal attack to bluntly overrun the Russians with corpses. Zelensky has promised to reach Melitopol by the start of the NATO summit in Vilnius, which is exactly a month away. Security guarantees to the Kiev regime, future NATO membership, as well as financial and military aid in an extended format depend on it. Therefore, the Ukrainians are trying to breach Russian defences in this direction at all costs.
▪️ The Ukrainians, according to Deputy Minister of Defence Hannah Malyar, report the “de-occupation” of four settlements and two more “soon”, as well as the pushing through of the first line of Russian defence in the area of the “Vremievskoye ledge” by 6 km. We are likely to learn more definite information later in the morning.

War Map and the Situation on the Fronts in the Evening of 12 Jun 2023; pub. 00:09⚡️
🔥 Despite tons of burnt out Western scrap metal in the steppes, the 404 media are excitedly listing (https://t.me/readovkaru/3535) the names of several villages that the militants managed to enter the other day. And some of which have already returned to our control. Five days of mass attacks by the AFU have not undermined the morale of the Russian army, but have only encouraged further exploits. The same cannot be said for the actions of the companies manufacturing weapons supplied to the Kiev regime. This time the Anglo-Saxons failed in their marketing and paid (https://t.me/readovkanews/60623) a real price for their Wunderwaffen (https://t.me/readovkanews/60480), successfully (no) posing before the lenses of our drones.
⚔️ The Situation on the Fronts over the past Day:
🔹#Svatovo – #Kremennaya Direction:
▪️ In the vicinity of #Belogorovka, the AFU unsuccessfully attempted to reach our positions, leaving only the corpses of militants on the battlefield. Meanwhile, in the forests near #Kremennaya, Russian snipers are “hunting (https://t.me/readovkanews/60620)” enemy personnel. Also, two Ukrainian DRGs were eliminated near #Rozovka LPR and #Grigorovka DPR.
🔹#Donetsk Direction:
➖ Russian army fighters are advancing near #Severnoye and on the southwestern approaches to #Avdeyevka. Also ours have resumed attacks near #Pervomayskoye.
➖ In #Maryinka, the assault of the AFU positions on the western outskirts continues.
🔹#Zaporozhye Direction:
▪️ On the Vremyevka ledge, the Russian army launched a counterattack. Our forces dislodge militants from #Makarovka and the outskirts of #Urozhaynoye. #Novodarovka and #Levadnoye are in the 👉 grey zone (https://t.me/sitreports/10120).
👠Today the Kiev Regime shelled (https://t.me/readovkanews/60638) #Donetsk Railway Station. A twenty year old girl was killed and a man and two women were wounded as a result.
#Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 12 June 2023⚡️
🔹 Throughout yesterday, fighting continued at the #Vremyevka ledge. Russian units knocked out the enemy from the village of #Makarovka, but clashes continue on the northern outskirts of the settlement. All other attempts of the AFU to advance were successfully suppressed by small arms and artillery fire.
🔹 Nevertheless, during the night hours, Russian troops attempted a counterattack on the site. At the moment, the parties are engaged in fierce battles.
🔹 At the same time, Ukrainian formations conducted massive shelling of frontline settlements during the celebration of Russia Day. In #Donetsk, the area of the railway station was under enemy fire. A 20-year-old girl was killed, six more people have been, including a two-year-old child of the victim.
🔹 Regular artillery strikes were also carried out on the border areas of the #Belgorod region. Despite the decrease in the intensity of shelling in the region, the general trend continues: over the past week, about 2,100 units of various ammunition were fired in the #Belgorod region, while in the #Donetsk agglomeration – just over 1,400.
