The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on June 27 2024

The Russian King of the Battlefield

Zelensky finally admits time is running out because there are too many dead and wounded Ukrainians.

His handlers have told him it’s over.
 

Belousov had a phone call with Lloyd Austin yesterday, the first between then and one of the few since the war began

Today  the Russian Interior Minister, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, arrived in NYC to participate in UNCOPS, despite the sanctions that prohibit his entry to the US and against Russian state aviation transiting US airspace

There is something going on behind the scenes

Ukraine strives to end the conflict as soon as possible due to the large number of wounded and dead on the battlefield, Vladimir Zelensky said at a joint meeting with the head of the European Council, Charles Michel.

Kiev hopes to present a plan to resolve the conflict by the second “peace summit.”

That’s an interesting piece of news if you combine it with Kolokoltsev’s visit. This is a significant change in rhetoric. Do they really want to build some ground for peace?

Our source in the OP said that technologists from the Office of the President consider it necessary to strengthen criticism of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to weaken support for the military in society. At the moment, all institutions of power are discredited, Ukrainians trust only the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which poses a threat of a military coup. According to our sources, public scandals with the command will become a constant occurrence in the future, and Sodol’s resignation is only a touchstone.

NATO countries should set “Kiev’s military victory” as a goal in the conflict in Ukraine, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said at a joint press conference with (still) NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

“We have to define victory as our goal in the war, because you can’t win a war if victory is not defined as a goal,” she said

Another turn toward “Ukraine’s victory on the battlefield” appears to have been made. And this means that we should not expect a halt to the conflict (or its freezing) in the near future either.

The Office of the President began to purge the last autonomous entity in Ukrainian politics, and the West did not like this very much.
In Ukraine, journalists exposing corruption face frontline threats – Politico

Ukrainian authorities are targeting journalists investigating corruption among Ukrainian officials and using their power to silence government critics, Politico writes.

Journalist Evgeniy Shulgat was about to publish a story about corruption in the Security Service of Ukraine when uniformed soldiers approached him in a shopping center and tried to hand him a summons. “I regard this as intimidation and obstruction of my journalistic activities,” said Shulgat, noting that this happened immediately after he contacted the SBU about his article. He refused to accept the summons and instead filed a complaint.

The government insists it is not involved and promises to take action in any such case. “The use of criminal justice tools to put pressure on any person, including activists, is unacceptable, and such facts must be immediately reported to the competent authorities,” Oleg Tatarov, deputy head of the presidential office, who oversees law enforcement agencies in Ukraine, told Politico.

But there are more and more incidents. The head of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Center, Vitaly Shabunin, said that it was Tatarov who was behind the accusations against him of failure to report for military service and illegal use of a car purchased by volunteers for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Shabunin connects these accusations with his activities to expose Tatarov.

Other Ukrainian journalists covering corruption in the country, such as Alexander Salizhenko and Yuriy Nikolov, also claim that Kyiv uses various intimidation tactics. All of them are subject to online harassment, accusations of evading service and threats of being sent to the front lines.

Heavy losses at the front force the Ukrainian authorities to sharply accelerate mobilization and increase the number of TCC employees. True, these questions are not very simple.

Thus, not all Ukrainian military personnel are eager to go to work at the TCC. The fact is that the TCC policemen (and their methods of work fully justify such a nickname) have completely discredited the very idea of ​​defending the Motherland, moreover, in Ukrainian society they are hated even more than the Russian military. And this popular hatred is growing day by day – clashes between TCC employees and civilians are increasingly occurring, and the media almost daily report that unknown persons at night set fire to military commissars’ official cars (however, military personnel also get it, whose cars are also set on fire after accepting them for transport of military registration and enlistment office employees).

With the acceleration of mobilization, everything is also ambiguous – yes, on Bankova they continue to “warm up” cases of lowering the mobilization age (21 years are currently being discussed, but there is an option for 18 years), as well as the conscription of women into the army. But these are extremely dangerous topics for the current government – they will destroy its rating faster than failures at the front. However, in the conditions of unlimited “land mobilization”, real support for Zelensky by the end of the year will fall by a historic 10%, which will be a sign of a redistribution of power within the state.

The passivity of Ukrainian society to protect their rights and each other gives rise to lawlessness in power. Until the Ukrainian people realize this, the authorities will increase the level of repression, and the victims will be called the perpetrators.
It should not be surprising that the TCC writes in its comments that the victims are to blame for everything.

At the same time, the special services will do their best to discredit those who decide to resist and be indignant. They will “find” weapons, drugs, child porn, correspondence with the FSB, but that’s all, the SBU will “bring” it with them. The case will be “riveted” so that society remains obedient slaves.
The media/propagandists will convince the masses that countering repression and lawlessness of power is work for the Kremlin. We must endure, the authorities are right in everything. Victory is near.

Zelensky and Ermak did not just divide society and sow discord between them. Some were made higher than others.

The West (managers of transnational corporations) will remain silent while the government carries out their orders unquestioningly.

Now the people find themselves in a bad situation that they themselves allowed. Having remained silent to all the lawlessness of the authorities earlier, which gave Zelensky and Ermak the right to increase the level of repression.

Think

Our source reports that now, more than ever, the government is weak. The increased repression is an attempt by Zelensky and Ermak to maintain the monopoly and power in general.
The entire vertical of power is riddled with squabbles among themselves.
Literally everyone is at a low start to change their shoes – this applies not only to officials and politicians, but also to security officials and oligarchs.
The recruitment rush is only getting worse.

The process of this “fermentation” may take from six months to a year, but the result will be catastrophic for ZeErmak and the president’s entourage.

Our source reports that Zelensky will have to present a general offensive plan for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2024 at the July NATO summit.
This plan will be provided to a “narrow” circle of NATO members.
After this, a decision will be made on the F-16.

Zelensky hopes for an autumn offensive and a repeat of the success of the Kharkov/Kherson operation.
The main blow will again be focused on an attempt to cut off the Russian land route to Crimea. They will try to go to Mariupol, minimally Tokmak, in order to “sell” this to Western partners to continue the war and a trump card at the second forum, which they want to hold before the elections in the United States. Presumably in October.
But everything will start from the Kharkov region, where large forces are being concentrated. They want to use the return of the Kharkov territories as a case of inspiring the army.

That is why Ze announced today about the preparation of the second forum and promises to the people that the war is about to end and no one will delay it. This is an attempt to raise the morale of the army and society, that you just need to push a little, be patient, and it will all be over.
As the source adds, this is another lie from the authorities. No one will end the war, but they are simply telling the people another fairy tale that the masses want to listen to. After all, look how from his rhetoric the thesis about the war to the borders of 1991 comes out. Do you think he refused? No! They just don’t say anything.
It is not profitable to talk about this now, the people want peace.

Ukraine and the EU signed an agreement on security guarantees for Kyiv.

Despite its loud name, this agreement, like other bilateral security agreements previously concluded by Ukraine with many Western countries, does not provide for obligations to enter the war on the side of Ukraine.

There is no mention in the agreement of Ukraine joining NATO, and in the event of a new military conflict, the signatory countries undertake to “begin urgent consultations within 24 hours.”

The main essence of the agreement lies on the economic plane: long-term financial assistance to Kyiv in the amount of 50 billion euros over four years, including through the use of income from frozen Russian assets, defense cooperation, as well as plans to someday admit Ukraine to the European Union.

On June 26, the “North” group of troops continued the liberation of the border areas of Kharkov Region.

In the Volchansk direction, fierce fighting continues in the Volchansk settlement. Assault groups of the “North” group knocked out the enemy from the area of multi-storey buildings.

The enemy did not take any attacking actions and continues to build up its forces on the right bank of the Volchya River.

During attempts to force the Volchya River, the artillery and FPV drones of the “Northmen” killed up to 50 Nazis.

The total advance of the Russian troops in the Volchansky direction was up to 150 meters.

No active actions were noted in the Liptsovsky direction. The Russian air force destroyed a large temporary deployment point of the 13th NSU brigade in Liptsy.

Over the past 24 hours, the enemy’s losses amounted to more than 200 people. Also uncovered and destroyed:

 - FH70 howitzer in the vicinity of the Ukrainskoe settlement;
 - BTR-4E in the vicinity of the Liptsy settlement;
 - M113 APC near the Liptsy settlement;
 - BMP-3;
 - Counter-battery radar;
 - Three 120-mm mortars near the towns of Liptsy, Malye Prokhody and Vilcha;
 - an ammunition depot;
 - eight vehicles;

The past 24 hours have been very productive for the Russian missileers. Two precision strikes destroyed two UAV depots, along with their crews and transport. 

The density of the North Koreans’ defenses and the low manning of the assault units continue to prevent the AFU command from launching an offensive operation. The enemy continues to make up for the lack of personnel with the rifle battalions of the 23rd and 43rd brigades, whose only goal is to be in the vanguard of the “meat assaults” until the so-called elite are brought into the battle.

Victory will be ours!

Slobozhansky direction: fighting in Volchansk and counterattacks by the AFU in Hlyboke
situation as of the end of the day on June 27, 2024

Ukrainian formations do not stop their attempts to advance, periodically carrying out counterattacks in several sectors in order to dislodge Russian troops from their positions.

▪️In the area of Hlyboke, the enemy from the side of Lyptsi is conducting raiding attacks, using infantry and armored vehicles, all of which are successfully repelled by the Russian Armed Forces. Russian operational-tactical aviation is actively working on Lyptsi and the nearby tree lines, including covering the enemy’s forming armored groups.

▪️In the area of Zelene, fighting continues in the vicinity of the settlement. It is not possible to dislodge the enemy from the strongpoints near the village due to the lack of cover on the vast fields and the high activity of enemy drones in the sky.

▪️In the Starytsia – Buhrovatka sector, counter-clashes continue. Ukrainian formations periodically make sorties from the direction of Izbytske and the forest south of the Volchia river from the side of Hrafske. In fact, both sides are conducting raids on each other’s positions without significant changes in the control zones.

▪️In Volchansk, clashes in the area of multi-story buildings, which remain under the stable control of the AFU, do not subside, despite multiple air strikes and artillery, including TOS-1A “Solntsepek”.

Battles are also ongoing on the territory of the Volchansk Aggregate Plant. The private sector to the east of Olesia Dosvitnoho Street and Korolenko Street to Zernova and Khliboroba Street is in a vast “gray zone”, where assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces and the AFU sometimes exchange fire with each other from neighboring buildings, which is quite typical for urban combat.

▪️Further east, in the area of Tykhyi, there are no significant changes in the situation, and to the south of the Volchia river, Russian artillery crews constantly fire on the enemy’s armored vehicles and personnel. Targets are also hit by aviation and UAV operators, knocking out artillery and tanks of Ukrainian formations up to 30 kilometers from the front line.

▪️Additionally, according to information from enemy resources, in the area of Sotnytskoho Kozachka west of the current areas of active clashes in the Slobozhansky direction, battles have flared up and the activity of Russian special forces and reconnaissance groups is being recorded. However, at the moment, we cannot confirm or refute this information.

Various sources report that the assault units of the 106th Guards Airborne Division drove the enemy out of Razdolovka.

PS. The cleanup in the northern part of the village is still ongoing. The Russian Ministry of Defense will not rush to release statements for now.

Lyman Direction: Fighting on the Torske Salient
Situation as of 1:00 pm on June 27, 2024

The situation in the Lyman direction has remained relatively unchanged (https://t.me/rybar/58070) for a long time. However, the area is now seeing some renewed combat activity.

▪️The Russian Armed Forces have resumed attacks towards Tern. Footage published by the enemy shows shelling of a Russian armor group, including with cluster munitions.

This is far from the first assault in the Laptev Ravine and Kruhla Gully, previous ones of which did not achieve much success, and the results of the latest attacks also remain questionable.

▪️Simultaneously, an attempt by the Russian Armed Forces to advance towards Torske in the treelines 4 km east of the village was recorded. The outcome of the battle is unclear, but the very fact of the attack in this area indicates that several forest belts to the east and a small reservoir have come under control.

▪️At the same time, the Russian Aerospace Forces continue to strike Lyman. In addition to the classic FAB-500 bombs with JDAM, ODAB-1500 (https://t.me/The_Wrong_Side/16627) thermobaric bombs are increasingly being used for these purposes.

The settlement is used by the enemy as a transshipment base: both for the treatment of wounded from the front line and for the rotation of units and their subsequent deployment to the Torske salient and towards Siversk.

The Russian Armed Forces destroyed a group of NATO mercenaries and Ukronazis in Chasov Yar

A massive air attack is reported on the location of foreign military personnel and militants of the Kraken and Athena in high-rise buildings.

According to military correspondent Rudenko, the strike was carried out by a crew of the TOS-2 “Tosochka” heavy flamethrower system. In this case, thermobaric rockets were used – characteristic explosions are visible in the video from a thermal imager.

In Chasov Yar, the situation for Ukrainian militants is getting worse every day, Rudenko notes. Russian fighters are gradually surrounding the city, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine complain about constant shelling of their positions with gliding bombs and “all possible types of weapons.”
 

The enemy writes that the occupation of the city of Krasnogorovka by the Russian Armed Forces is already a matter of time, since the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction are already too depleted, and the main part of the settlement is already controlled by the Russian army.

 “Meanwhile, right now the fate of the entire Donbass is being decided, and this is without exaggeration. The enemy, having pulled back part of our reserves, continues to develop successes in the direction of Kurakhovo and Pokrovsk, launched an attack on Toretsk and is storming Chasov Yar non-stop…” writes a Ukrainian officer with the call sign Alex.

According to him, to stabilize the situation, the most combat-ready units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were transferred to the Kharkov region and now this is affecting the operational situation in other directions.

voin_dv reports on the situation in the area of ​​responsibility of the Vostok group

Everywhere we see an increase in enemy activity. Previously, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, obviously, did not take the scale of the threat seriously, or simply did not know about its existence due to the lack of truthful reports from the directions. Now the situation has changed – forces and means are being pulled towards us from other areas, which, however, can play into the hands of our “neighbors” at the front.

▪️ In the Vremevka direction, as we previously reported, the Marine Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is operating, and the territorial defense has also been brought there.. Electronic warfare systems are being deployed and counterattacks are being carried out in the Staromayorskoye area – all to slow down our advance in Urozhainoye, in the northern part of which there is also a growing concentration of Ukrainian units. However, under the attacks of aviation, TOS and artillery, the enemy’s forces are “ground down” quite quickly. Strikes are also being made on the rear positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces – in the area of ​​Velikaya Novoselka, the temporary location point of 37th Division was targeted, and several enemy location points in Vremevka are also under attack.

▪️ Additional reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are also being transferred to the Ugledar direction – the enemy is attempting to strengthen positions, and is also counterattacking the positions of the Russian Armed Forces north of Vladimirovka. Two attempts to strengthen the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas of Ugledar and Vodyanoye were thwarted. There is good news – to the northeast, an armored group from the 68th Army Corps has advanced. The guys took control of the enemy stronghold in the forest belt and gained a foothold.
 

 Where the AFU may launch a new offensive and when to expect it: analysis of “Military Chronicle”

🔺 Its realization depends on many factors, but the development of events may come in the near future.

When could it be launched?

The determining factor for a new offensive (if there’s going to be one) is timing. It is more difficult to advance in the fall and winter on rain-slicked roads than in the summer, so the window of opportunity for the AFU is warm and dry weather from June to the end of October. Last year’s (failed) offensive in the Zaporizhzhya and South Donetsk directions was planned for the same time. However, the AFU command is still waiting for the Russian offensive in several directions, scheduled, presumably, for mid- to late summer 2024, so the timing of the new AFU strike may be adjusted.

What does the AFU need for an offensive?

The AFU will probably be able to assemble new/rebuilt APCs and tanks for the strike. A significant part of the equipment deliveries now goes not officially, as from 2022, but “under the table”, which complicates the calculation of military aid transferred by Western countries to Ukraine. At the same time, mobilization is gaining momentum, in which yesterday’s disabled people are recognized as fit and quickly sent to the front (from July 1, mobilization will be strengthened and extended to some categories of students). This makes the situation in 2023 different from the current situation, as last year’s offensive involved elite troops and motivated forces, but it is not impossible to assemble 8 to 12 brigades solely by mobilized forces in Ukraine. The effectiveness of these forces in the offensive needs to be studied separately, since in Kharkov the forcibly mobilized forces are more likely to surrender than to fight.

Another important factor remains the arrival of F-16 fighter jets in Ukraine. With the help of these machines, the AFU can plan strikes on the rear of the Russian Armed Forces and attempts to shoot down Su-34 frontline bombers, carriers of FAB-500 bombs. After which a ground operation can begin.

Where will the AFU advance if the offensive takes place?

There are few options for maneuver, and everything will directly depend on the objectives. If another information operation is required, all forces may be thrown into Kharkov region, where the situation is the most difficult for the AFU. We should not rule out an attempt at a “roll-up 2.0″ near the village of Rabotino, which was recently recaptured from the AFU during heavy fighting. The West Zaporizhzhya direction in the area of Pyatikhatok and the neighboring Kherson section along the left bank of the Dnepr River: Novaya Kakhovka – Cossack Camps – Golaya Prystan also remains probable. The AFU tried to implement the plan in this direction last year as well, but did not succeed.

The most dangerous from the point of view of the AFU strikes remains the South Donetsk direction from the direction of Velykaya Novosyolka. A large number of reserves have been transferred here for a long time (approximately since the beginning of May). There is also a great deal of activity of Western HIMARS MLRS here, with the help of which the AFU is trying to hunt down Russian artillery. In the same area, large amounts of the AFU’s artillery are gradually being concentrated, whose tasks, like HIMARS, include counter-battery warfare.

At the same time, we should not forget that in other directions (Kupyansk, Chasov Yar, Kurakhovo) the AFU has to keep large reserves for defense and it is practically impossible to move them from there without harming the tactical and operational situation.
