The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on June 21 2023
Battlefield Ukraine The Russian Wall
Armored Assaults And Destruction As Ukraine’s Offensive Reaches 17 Days
Zelenskyy – Offensive is Slow/ Putin says Nukes are Ready – Col Tony Shaffer
1️⃣Complete absence of surprise effect. The APU went where they were expected. Why the hell did the speakers of the OP announce an offensive there in six months? The question is open.
2️⃣Mistakes in the general planning of the operation. Kharkov relaxed. The command expected that the battle of the Sea of Azov would be the same easy walk. There are no tactical surprises at all‼️
3️⃣Underestimation of the engineer-sapper training of the enemy. Conspiracy theorists even wrote that the Russian Armed Forces carried out mining covertly. This, of course, is nonsense. It’s just that even theoretically SUCH total mining was not calculated, although the Tsar trench was visible even from space.
4️⃣The RF Armed Forces were able to produce and accumulate a sufficient amount of guided weapons, both ground and air based. The equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that passed the first minefields was met by Kornets and their counterparts.
5️⃣Echeloned EW front cover by the defenders. Combined-arms systems are also operating, and, which was completely unexpected, trench EW of the RF Armed Forces, which were not often seen before. The Armed Forces of Ukraine faced a loss of communication during the offensive, and FPV drones were ineffective.
6️⃣Massive use of guided bombs. Even at the stage of preparing the offensive, the Aerospace Forces knocked out warehouses and accumulations of equipment with UABs and KABs, preventing them from concentrating normally for a full-fledged strike. Residents of Berdyansk and Primorsk say that after the start of the Sushka offensive, they began to fly even more often. The Aerospace Forces do not spare for the key targets of planning bombs.
7️⃣ Alligators. Ka-52 are back in the game. Since the beginning of the great war, they have been written off by drone aficionados. But during the offensive, they were able to fully cover their troops, as if in a shooting range, knocking out the armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with impunity. Arestovich’s stories about 6 downed Alligats are not confirmed by anything at all, except for his and Malyar’s statements.
8️⃣Deficiency of air defense. A couple of months before the start of the offensive, the command of the Russian Federation declared the main priority of the radar and air defense systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During this time, they managed to knock out a large number of complexes and their components. Therefore, when the offensive began, the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the contrary, was left without cover. During the Battle of the Sea of Azov, not a single helicopter was shot down.
9️⃣ The human factor. One and a half years of war are beginning to affect the quality of personnel. Mariupol and Bakhmut, Lisichansk and Severodonetsk, Marinka and Vuhledar – the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost a huge number of military personnel, volunteers and ideological fighters. Tankers and attack aircraft, even trained in the West, but consisting of mobilized citizens simply do not want to die. They sometimes break and abandon equipment (as the world press wrote about), refuse to follow orders.
Any subsequent offensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine MUST take into account the above factors. Otherwise, this will continue to be not an offensive, but the destruction of our own troops.
The “Counteroffensive” is breaking up the Armed Forces of the Ukraine.
Every day in the reports of “breakthroughs” by the Armed Forces of Ukraine there is news about significant numbers of prisoners taken (dozens already).
Also, in the Western press, more and more is written about the fact that the soldiers of the Ze[lensky] regime are trying to “waive” their right to be killed for the interests of “white Western people” and are breaking the equipment they are supposed to be using to attack.
This suggests that morale among the “breakthrough guard” is rapidly declining and this is no less important than the total number of enemy losses during their “counteroffensive”.
Oh yes, and in the rear “junkie recruiters” are already getting beaten up (I am reposting the video from the Zaporozhye region).
The enemy’s “counterattack” turned out to be very good. Good in every way. Keep it up. Whatever you do, don’t stop.

Ukrainian TG-channel “Cartel” writes:
“A series of explosions in Krivoy Rog, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are accumulating reserves to storm the dry Kakhovka reservoir.
Also Zaporizhia, where there are reserves for the second wave of the attack on Vasilyevka-Tokmak.
Rockets are flying in the side of the Kherson region. There is a threat to Nikolaev and Odessa.
Air defense fails. Russian UAVs and missiles are feeling more and more free in Ukrainian airspace.
It is worth recalling the words of the Ukrainian experts of Bankova, who convinced people that the Russians were about to run out of missiles. As practice shows, the Ukrainian Armed Forces ran out of missiles, only air defense missiles.”
The well-known Russophobe Julian Roepke has already reported about it on the air of the German “BILD”.
“The width of the reservoir is from 7 to 30 km. Soldiers can already walk along the dried up bottom. Now there is a possibility that #Ukraine will attack not only where the Russians have been waiting and preparing trenches and minefields for months, but also in a completely different place,” said the pro-Ukrainian military observer (who is also known as Jihad Julian).
Fortunately, he is unaware that Russian units have already rebuilt defences in this area and are waiting for enemy attacks.
And we have already seen the Leopards, which are gloriously burning in the #Zaporozhye direction, in action too. And there is no chance for them here.
But do not tell Roepke about it or he will be upset prematurely!

Note: It would be an attack in the open field (desert). Only military amateurs can come up with such crap. Let’s remember how in WWII Rommel in African desert introduced the 8.8 Anti-Air Gun against the Brit’s tanks.
How the “Surovikin Line” works: analysis of the military chronicle
Since June 4, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have launched 263 attacks on the positions of Russian troops as part of the launched counteroffensive. All attacks were repulsed, but few people understand why the offensive of the Ukrainian army failed at its highest point.
What is the Surovikin Line?
This is a defensive system, the first contour of which is dozens of fortified firing lines, including extensive minefields and engineering barriers. This line was built for almost eight months and goes into the depth of defense for several tens of kilometers. It relies on a developed transport and logistics network with hubs and rear bases. At the same time, short logistics routes allow the RF Armed Forces to quickly transfer reserves from one sector to another without compromising combat readiness at the front. Simply put, wherever it is required to strengthen fire capabilities, this can be organized without withdrawing troops from another sector of the front.
What is its feature?
The network of defensive lines is “supported” by a powerful grouping of cannon and rocket artillery and airborne forces, as well as Ka-52 army aviation helicopters and attack aircraft with FAB-250/500 bombs equipped with planning and correction modules. In the event of a breakthrough of a group with APU equipment at one of the firing lines, aviation is able to support ground troops and act as a “carousel”: while helicopters are working on ground targets, attack aircraft and bombers go to the point of use of weapons, after hitting the target, helicopters again engage in battle, and then the situation repeats. At the same time, strikes on the rear of the advancing AFU grouping in Orekhovo and Velikaya Novosyolka show that there is practically nothing to cover the offensive of the APU – short-range and medium-range air defense systems are either withdrawn to the deep rear, or are used very limitedly on the front line. As a result, a significant number of senior command personnel are destroyed in the near rear areas, without which control becomes difficult and, as a result, the pace of the offensive slows down.
What is “elastic defense” and how does it work?
Judging by the dynamics of the offensive, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine probably relied on a quick breakthrough and turning the battle into a maneuverable one. For this, a series of strikes was planned throughout the LBS, including the main one and several distractions. These strikes were opposed by a combination of the tactics of the so-called elastic defense and artillery grouping, reinforced by means of observation and fire adjustment. It is clearly seen that “on the ground” the RF Armed Forces are still operating with relatively small forces, and the maneuverable element in the mass (operational and tactical reserves) has not yet joined the battle. On the example of Pyatikhatki in Zaporozhye or Neskuchny in the South-Donetsk direction, it is clearly seen that Russian troops do not cling to every centimeter of the defensive line in the event of a breakthrough of individual groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and, if necessary, retreat to a reserve position. After the retreat, the enemy is covered by artillery at previously known coordinates, after which a counterattack follows and the position returns to the control of the defenders. Judging by the fact that two weeks after the start of the offensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to suffer losses from artillery, their reconnaissance and counter-battery capabilities are ineffective or insufficient.
What is the result?
For more than two weeks of the Ukrainian offensive, the advancement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is recorded exclusively in the gray zone – that is, in territories that were not previously determined as the main lines of defense.
Military chronicle
Background:
A group of the Armed Forces of the Ukraine in the Zaporozhye direction were ordered to attack.
Moving along the tree lines, the opponents reached a Russian infantry platoon, and after a short battle they managed to capture one prisoner.
After spending a day with the enemy, [the captured Russian soldier] offered the Ukrainian military personnel a safe route out of the specified area.
On receiving consent from the Ukrainian platoon commander, our fighter led the detachment to the positions of Russian troops, as a result of which a group of twelve Ukrainian soldiers was captured.
From a conversation with the personnel of the Armed Forces of the Ukraine after their surrender:
The [Ukrainian] personnel is demoralized, which is caused by the negligent attitude of the commanding staff to the provisions for military personnel.
There is an acute shortage of drinking water on the front line. Hot food is not delivered regularly, evacuation of the wounded is hampered by the fact that the artillery of the Russian Federation is constantly working. The bodies of the dead are not evacuated from the battlefield.
[Ukrainian military] personnel in every possible way evade participation in offensive operations, in connection with which, military personnel serving in support units are assigned to assault units for the attack.
According to the prisoners, at the moment there is a low level of desire to go into the meat grinder, the promised triumphant success failed both in the eyes of the soldiers themselves and in the rear.

ARCHANGEL SPETSNAZA
He reports Ukraine still have reserves and offensive capabilities, but they are dwindling.
Putin says the Ukrainian counter-offensive has now “suspended.”
“At the moment, we are seeing a lull, because the enemy is suffering serious losses. But the offensive potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has not yet been exhausted, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are combining new units from the brigades that have suffered losses. But we believe that such losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the future may lead to the loss of their combat capability,” Putin said.
Zelensky admitted that the counteroffensive is slower than we would like – BBC
▪️“Some people think this is a Hollywood movie and are waiting for the results now. This is not so, ”the head of the Kyiv regime justifies himself. He also once again stated that Ukraine is not ready for negotiations.
▪️“No matter how far we advance in the counteroffensive, we will not go for a frozen conflict, because this is a war, this is a hopeless development for Ukraine. Whatever anyone wants, including attempts to put pressure on us, with all due respect, we will advance on the battlefield as we see fit,” Zelensky said
About sabotage on the railway in Crimea
In the area of Feodosia, the railway track was damaged, there were no casualties.
“ In the area of Feodosia, the railway track was damaged. Train traffic will be restored within two hours. There were no casualties. Services are on site. I ask everyone to remain calm and trust only trusted sources of information,” said the head of the Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov.
Buses will temporarily operate instead of electric trains.
In the meantime, a video is being circulated on the network, which allegedly is directly related to the sabotage on the railway in the Feodosia region.

A resident of the Khabarovsk Territory was detained, transferring funds in cryptocurrency to a foreign fund for the purchase of ammunition and drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a case of treason was opened – FSB
-Ukraine losing on all fronts of its Counteroink has taken up its usual pattern of attacking civilian infrastructure or the attempted murder of public leaders using anything other than its military. Tonight Ukraine went fishing for any positive news and still finding ways to fail. Maybe they should try harder with their own military on Russian Military targets, but Russia is prepared to deal with anything coming from Ukraine. The more this happens and the more Ukraine fails at every direct engagement speaks volumes of the western wonderwaffle equipment and training.
WarGonzo reports on the situation at Pyatikhatki as of 10:00 MSK (June 21, 2023):
According to @wargonzo sources located directly in the area of the hostilities, the enemy was forced out of the village of Pyatikhatki. The Ukrainians withdrew to positions outside the village. According to the source, there is no enemy in the village itself at the moment.
Nevertheless, the Ukrainian armed forces continue to accumulate forces in this direction. Combat is taking place around the clock, and artillery fire from both sides does not stop.
It’s only a matter of time before the enemy renews its attempts to enter the village.
Situation in the #Orekhov Section until 15:00 on 21 Jun 2023⚡️
🗓 This morning, Russian servicemen launched a counterattack from the village of #Zherebyanka in order to take back positions near #Pyatikhatki. In the ensuing battle, supported by artillery, AFU formations of the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade have been knocked out of the village.
🇷🇺 #Pyatikhatki is now under Russian control. According to Archangel of Special Forces (https://t.me/rusich_army/9498), Ukrainian units are trying to counterattack. But the fighters of the RF Armed Forces’ 429th regiment successfully repulsed the AFU’s roll-ups. One enemy IFV has been destroyed in a precision strike.
🔹 In other areas the situation is practically unchanged, there were no sorties by Ukrainian units either at the #Rabotino – #Verbovoye line or at the #Vremyevka ledge. However, the intensity of fire has increased, which may indicate preparations for another attack.
📌 Yesterday’s 👉 reinforcement (https://t.me/sitreports/10559) of positions and movement of reinforcements confirms this scenario. Despite rather low morale among members of the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade, units of the Strategic Reserve are preparing for an attack in the third decade of June.
Boris Rozhin (ColonelCassad) reports on the Krasny Liman direction: The AFU command confirms the loss of some positions in the wooded area to the west of Kremennaya and the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the Krasny Liman direction. Counterattacks that were undertaking in an attempt to stabilize the front did not bring the enemy any success.
Front Bird reports on the Krasny Liman direction: Guys from this direction confirm that they have broken through the line of enemy strongholds in several places at once.
Our troops were able to carry out offensive operations thanks to rapid attacks by armored vehicles and suppression of enemy strongpoints with high-precision artillery, including the use of Krasnopol shells.
Way to go, men!
Waiting for more information.
Russian Frontier reports on the Krasny Liman direction: The “O” (Audacious) Grouping of the Russian Army conducts offensive operations and repulses counterattack after counterattack by the AFU in the Krasny Liman direction.
➖The units of the “Center” group of the Russian Army are conducting assault actions in several areas. Artillery suppresses enemy firepower, after which infantry comes in.
➖ Two DRGs of the 49th DSB, disguised as Russian troops (using the VKPO uniform), were detected and destroyed in the Terny direction.
➖ Near the village of Chervonaya Dibrova, an armored group from the 63rd AFU Mechanized Brigade, on an APC, tried to attack our positions. The enemy was hit by MLRS, and, having lost combat effectiveness, the enemy retreated.
➖ Also, a group of 3 pickup trucks of the 100th AFU Territorial Defence Brigade attempted to drive in from the flank of one of our strongholds. It was detected by reconnaissance, one pickup was destroyed by ATGM fire, the rest retreated.
➖ In the area of the Serebryanskoye forestry, the enemy made two attempts to break through with infantry, supported by APCs of the 63rd AFU Mechanized Brigade. Artillery fire destroyed it.
Artillery strikes were carried out against the ammo depots in Torskoye and Yampolovka.
Two Majors TG Channel reports on the Krasny Liman direction:
The Russian Army’s 76th Guards Airborne Assault Division (Pskov) is on the attack. They are storming enemy strongholds one by one. Enemy soldiers are reported to be surrendering: the enemy is deploying at the front line soldiers conscripted from western regions of Ukraine on average three months ago. The rare units of the 95th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade of the AFU that fight back are destroyed on the spot.
The most combat-ready units were pulled by the enemy back from the front line in advance.
In Krasny #Liman Sector the Fighting has intensified Today⚡️
🔹 Our units repulsed several counterattacks by the AFU, suppressed enemy artillery and conducted assault actions with the help of infantry.
▪️ Near Chervonaya Dibrova, the AFU launched an attack, but our units hit the enemy with MLRS and the armoured group of the 63rd Mechanized Brigade withdrew. The Ukrofascists suffered casualties.
➖ In addition, our reconnaissance detected 3 pickup trucks from the 100th Territorial Defence Brigade of the AFU, which have been destroyed by fire from ATGMs.
▪️ In #Serebryanskoye forestry, our positions were attacked twice by the 63rd Mechanized Brigade of the AFU, with IFV support, but all assault attempts have been repulsed by the Russian artillery.

War Map and the Situation on the Fronts in the Evening of 21 Jun 2023; pub. 00:05⚡️
⚔️ The Situation on the Fronts over the past Day:
🔹#Svatovo – #Kremennaya Direction:
▪️ The Russian army is successfully advancing in the forested area northeast of #Kupyansk and west of #Kremennaya. We also repulsed attacks by the militants in #Serebryanskoye forestry.
🔹#Donetsk Direction:
➖ Fighters of the Russian army stormed enemy positions on the southwestern outskirts of #Avdeyevka.
➖ In #Maryinka, attempts to advance on the western outskirts do not stop.
➖ We also attacked in the areas of #Pobeda and #Novomikhaylovka.
🔹#Zaporozhye Direction:
➖ #Pyatykhatki in the grey zone, fierce fighting is going on (https://t.me/readovkanews/61214), but the militants cannot gain a foothold (https://t.me/readovkanews/61225) in the village.
➖ In the #Orekhov and #Gulyaypole sections there are positional battles, Russian artillery is active.
➖ On the #Vremyevka ledge, the situation did not change much during the day.
💡 Even in the fields, the militants manage to cause accidents. This time an emergency situation was created by a Russian Lancet hitting a Ukrainian T-72B3. The tank crew in panic decided to back down, but collided (https://t.me/readovkanews/61226) with an obstacle in the form of a MaxxPro, which has proven itself as a real estate in the #Zaporozhye steppes.
#Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 21 June 2023⚡️
🔹 Ukrainian formations have again used drones to launch demonstrative strikes on the territory of the #Moscow region. Electronic warfare units intercepted all three vehicles. One collapsed near the village of #Lukino, the other two fell near the warehouses of the Taman Motorized Rifle Division in #Kalininets.
🔹 At the same time, fighting for the village of #Pyatikhatki continued throughout the last day in the #Zaporozhye direction. At the moment, the AFU units control only a small part of the development in the north of the village.
🔹 Clashes also continue in the #Bakhmut direction, including in the area of #Kleshchiyevka, #Berkhovskoye Reservoir and in the north of #Soledar. All attempts of the enemy to advance are successfully suppressed by small arms and artillery fire.
🔹 At the same time, in the #Starobelsk direction, Russian troops expanded the control zone in the forest near #Kremennaya. In case that the units of the RF Armed Forces seize the nearest hills and heights, a bridgehead will be created for further advancement on the site.
The enemy is also preparing for big conflicts such as Taiwan and other places where the Americans will need ammunition. By 2025, a serious increase in production is expected in the United States, which means that they may not have time for this conflict. They will try to solve their global problems regardless of what is happening in the Ukraine.
If you look at the ambitious decision of the Europeans to supply 2 million shells to the Ukraine this year, it turns out they don’t have these shells in stock – they need to be purchased from all over the world. The US is trying to buy shells from its allies. Most likely, we are talking about 600-700 thousand shells for the Armed Forces of the Ukraine, not two million. That’s not enough, that’s 2000 per day, and currenly 4-5 thousand are being used every day without any serious offensive operations.
So just to help the Armed Forces of the Ukraine, the States and Europe need to triple their production.
What’s happening on the fronts?
It’s a game of leapfrog with Pyatikhatki – they [the Ukrainians] come and go – that was a few days ago, but there can be no serious battles for the village, the place is a drive-thru. It’s the heights that matter.
The second wave [of the Ukrainian counteroffensive] is bogged down. There is information that they are regrouping. Perhaps there will be a more massive attack. They will try again in the coming days.
Kupyanskoe direction: the concern of the Western media is not without reason. Anna Malyar said in a report that the Russian army was advancing in the north. At this point, this is a harbinger of more serious events.
