"UAV raid on Crimea and Rostov Region. June 7, 2024
The next night after the attack of Ukrainian unmanned boats near Chernomorske, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched kamikaze drones in the direction of the Crimean Bridge and the Rostov Region.
18 drones were sent, through the Kherson region and the Sea of Azov, towards Kerch. All targets were shot down in the Mysove and Lenino areas in the east of the peninsula.
- 10 UAVs were shot down by rifle squads.
- 5 were destroyed by Russian Aerospace Forces fighter jets.
- 3 were suppressed by electronic warfare crews.
Seven more drones were shot down over the Russian mainland. According to various sources, drones were shot down near Slavyansk-on-Kuban, as well as on approach to Rostov-on-Don.
One shouldn't expect anything good from such attacks. The small number of drones should not be misleading, since the goal in such strikes is not to hit targets, but to evaluate the positions and actions of air defense units.
It's important to note the change in the geography of attacks from strike to strike. They attack Cape Tarkhankut, then the outskirts of Sevastopol, then Kerch, then again return to the Black Sea are. Now preparations are being made for new attacks in the east of Crimea: the satellite activity of the West is high, and special attention is paid to the Kirov airfield, Feodosia, Kerch, as well as various surrounding settlements where NATO intelligence is looking for air defense positions."

Chasiv Yar- 08.06.2024
"Offensive on Chasiv Yar. Situation as of 16:00 /Moscow time/ June 8, 2024
After several months of heavy fighting, Russian troops made significant progress in the Kanal Microdistrict. Assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces took control of the block from Gorbatov Street to Obraztsovaya, south of the Chasovoyarsky repair plant.
In the footage that appeared on the Internet, Russian flags were installed on the roof of a five-story building on Zelenaya Street 4.
Since the unimpeded movement of Russian fighters in this point without clearing nearby nine-story buildings seems extremely difficult, it can be assumed that the largest stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has also come under the control of Russian troops.
Other videos show the work of assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces in an industrial building on the opposite side of Obraztsovaya Street and a strike by a Russian FPV drone on a Canadian Roshel Senator armored car of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The damaged car got stuck in a crater and was abandoned.
In addition, Russian paratroopers have secured positions in a garage cooperative in the south of the Microdistrict and are clearing nearby residential buildings.
During the assault, soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were captured, some of whom kindly agreed to say hello to their comrades from the 32nd battalion of the 41st Mechanized Brigade and the Kraken special forces.
According to the latest data, the enemy is withdrawing some units to the western part of the Microdistrict, which is separated from the main part of the city by the bed of the dry Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal.
At the same time, Russian troops continue their offensive from the north in the Kalynivka village, where a M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA was destroyed, which were listed on the balance sheet of the 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and had not previously been seen anywhere except the Avdiivka sector - this may indirectly indicate the transfer of this brigade to the Chasiv Yar area to strengthen the defenses."

Crimea - 10.06.2024
"Missile strike of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Crimea. June 10, 2024
After midnight, the Armed Forces of Ukraine once again attacked the Crimean Peninsula. At least 12 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles were fired from the Nikolaev region.
The target of the strikes were the surrounding areas of Chernomorske, Yevpatoriya and Dzhankoi. The sounds of air defense work and muffled explosions were heard in the northwestern part of Crimea.
It is not known for certain which objects were attacked, but taking into account the choice of settlements and the lack of aircraft at airfields, these were most likely the positions of the 31st Air Defense Division of the Russian Armed Forces.
Whether the enemy managed to hit the targets is not known for certain, however, due to the absence of fires and secondary detonations, one can assume that either the attack was repelled or caused minor damage.
And this morning, a missile alert was introduced in Crimea for several minutes, which may indicate the launch of decoy missiles in the direction of the peninsula.
We can expect new strike attempts in the next couple of days. On the eve of Russia Day on June 12, Ukrainian formations are increasing the number of attacks in Crimea. There have already been unmanned boats, unmanned aerial vehicles, and now missiles."

Poltava - 12.06.2024
"Strikes on SAMs and aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Poltava region. June 12, 2024
In the morning, footage of effective strikes of the Russian Armed Forces against air defense missile systems and aircraft appeared on the Internet.
Control footage was provided by reconnaissance UAVs. One could already get used to videos with such content, but there is one nuance: this time the targets were in the Poltava region, a record 140 km from the front line for such cases.
Russian Forces hit a battery of S-300 air defense system in the village of Polyvyane, east of Myrhorod. As a result of two hits, two launchers were destroyed, with the detonation of ammunition, and also, at a minimum, the illumination and low-altitude detection stations along with the control center were disabled.
In another attack, Russian Forces attacked the Myrhorod airfield, where they destroyed a Su-27UB fighter. Nearby were MiG-29s, recently relocated from the Dnepropetrovsk airfield after recent successful attacks. Most likely, the other planes were not “covered” with shrapnel and did not receive any damage. However, at one of the parking lots one can see the collected remains of, about five other, previously shot or destroyed Ukrainian Air Force aircraft.
The destruction of targets deep behind enemy lines, along with control footage from reconnaissance UAVs speaks of the growth of the reconnaissance-strike capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces.
Successful actions in the Poltava region were also facilitated by the hard work to destroy Ukrainian air defense systems in the front-line regions. It is unnecessary to talk about the importance of destroying enemy air defenses from the point of view of the impact on its combat capabilities. The enemy is also fully aware of this, as can be seen from the example of regular salvoes of ATACMS ballistic missiles on Crimea."

Donetsk-Avdiivka - 13.06.2024
"The situation in the Avdiivka direction: advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the June 8-13 week.
Russian troops continue to conduct assault operations in several areas of the Avdiivka direction.
After a chain of tactical actions, the Russian Armed Forces were able to expand the wedge from Ocheretyne to Novooleksandrivka and secure forest belts to the south and east of the village by June 10. And on the same or the next day, fight through to the western outskirts of the village.
In Sokil, the enemy has so far managed to restrain assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces with constant counterattacks, however, from the moment of consolidation on the outskirts of the settlement around June 8, successful advances deeper into the village have been recorded.
On the outskirts of Novopokrovskoye, fighting began by June 10, and already on June 12, almost all the remaining buildings and part of the adjacent forest belts came under the control of Russian troops. Yesterday, footage appeared of the flag being hoisted on the western outskirts.
During the same period, the Russian Armed Forces were able to expand the zone of control north of Umanske, occupying forest belts around the Babaka Gully. Somewhat later, several more forest belts to the north came under the control of the RF Armed Forces.
It is worth noting that in reality the advances of the Russian Army may be much greater, since both parties pause before publishing video materials. In addition, the enemy seeks to delay as much as possible the moment of recognition of the fact of the loss of another sector."

Donetsk - 14.06.2024
"The situation in the Donetsk direction: advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the June 3-14 week.
In the Donetsk direction, Russian units continue the assault on Krasnohorivka, and are also advancing on the flanks.
Over the past week, the enemy was knocked out from some positions on the western and eastern outskirts of Krasnohorivka.
- In the west, the advance of Russian troops is recorded in low-rise buildings along Parkhomenko, Gorky and Suvorov streets.
- Significantly greater progress on the eastern outskirts. There, the development to the east of Mayakovsky Street, including the territory of the central hospital and the technical school, came under the control of the RF Armed Forces. The enemy was also knocked out from the high-rise buildings north of Sovetskaya Street. According to sources, if the enemy’s presence there remains, it's only in the form of isolated “pockets”.
There is also progress in the northern part of Krasnohorivka, in the area of the Nakhimov Street. According to reports, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces advanced along it to the intersections with Tolstoy and Khmelnitsky streets.
Successes in the northern part of Krasnohorivka are associated with the resumption of assault operations in the Nevelske area. To date, it has not been possible to establish complete control over Nevelske. The enemy is resisting fiercely due to the importance of the heights, located to the west of the settlement, in the defense of Krasnohorivka. Recently, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces were able to enter the village, but not without losses in equipment.
At the same time, earlier successes in the area of Netailove, north of the Domakha Gully, and now the resumption of the assault operations in the Nevelske area, directly affect the enemy’s defensive capabilities both in Krasnohorivka and in the Donetsk sector as a whole. Thus, the enemy forces operating in Krasnohorivka itself began to have problems with their moral and psychological state, and among the prisoners, citizens recently mobilized by the “man-catchers” are increasingly found.
To the south of Krasnohorivka, in the Heorhiivka area, local attempts to advance by the Russian Armed Forces are also observed: assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces caught the buildings on the eastern outskirts of Maksymilyanivka, and Russian armored vehicles with assault forces are operating in the fields to the south of the settlement."

Bakhmut - 15.06.2024
"The situation in the Bakhmut direction as of 10:00 /Moscow time/ June 15, 2024
Chasiv Yar remains the main hot spot in the Bakhmut direction. Fighting continues to take place in the Kanal Microdistrict.
Over the past few days, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces managed to make significant progress within the borders of the microdistrict and establish control over most of the industrial zone in the north. The fighting is taking place outside Oleg Koshevoy Street, and the high-rise buildings to the south were under enemy control by the end of last day.
To the north of Chasiv Yar, two wide forest belts on both sides of the railway came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. This allowed not only to partially secure the flank of the microdistrict, but also to clear the forest south of Bohdanivka.
In the vicinity of Bohdanivka itself, the situation remains difficult. The enemy holds Kalinina from the adjacent heights and from Hryhorivka. Active use of HIMARS has also been recorded in this area, which somewhat complicates the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces.
To the south of Chasiv Yar, in the area of Krasne/Ivanivske, Russian troops advanced and occupied several forest belts in the direction of Klishchiivka️. At the same time, it is curious that practically no information appears in open sources about the battles in the Stupky-Holubovski-2 Nature Reserve - there are either no attempts to advance by the RF Armed Forces, or, on the contrary, they are very successful.
In the area from Klishchiivka to Kurdyumivka, the situation is hidden by the “fog of war.” There has not yet appeared any objective footage from anyone’s side that would allow us to establish the status of Klishchiivka and the adjacent heights.
High activity of enemy UAVs is recorded at the site, mining both the gray zone and supply routes of Russian troops, including with anti-tank mines planted from the Baba Yaga drones."

Donetsk-Avdiivka - 17.06.2024
"The situation in the Avdiivka direction as of 10:00 /Moscow time/ June 17, 2024
Since yesterday, messages were published on the Internet about the activation of the front in the Ocheretyne sector of the Avdiivka direction. This information is confirmed by our sources, according to which the advance of the RF Armed Forces was recorded in several areas at once.
In the Arkhanhelske area, forward detachments of the Russian Armed Forces bypassed several enemy strongholds and advanced to the west of Kalynove. At the same time Russian troops are advancing from the southeast, relying on the controlled Keramik.
Kalynove itself is a well-equipped fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the capture of which will make it possible to strengthen the Novooleksandrivka-Novokalynove line and pave the way for a potential encirclement of enemy forces in New York and Toretsk.
In Novooleksandrivka, fighting is taking place in the center and southeast of the settlement, where, as a result of a series of local offensive actions, control was expanded in the direction of the Lozovatsky Street.
To the northwest of Novooleksandrivka there is Vozdvyzhenka - the last village on the way of Russian troops to the T-0504 highway connecting Pokrovsk with Kostyantynivka. Cutting this highway will significantly complicate the position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Bakhmut direction.
To the south, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces have secured a foothold on the eastern outskirts of Sokil, but they have not yet been able to advance further due to the active work of artillery and a significant number of drones used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which attack even single targets.
At the same time, in the area of Novoselivka Persha, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces are successfully conducting an offensive along the Ocheretyne Gully and from the side of the O0542 road from Semenivka."

Toretsk - 19.06.2024
"The situation in the Oleksandro-Kalynove direction as of 14:00 /Moscow time/ June 19, 2024
For the first time in a long time, activation of the front is recorded in the Oleksandro-Kalynove direction. Last evening, messages, from both sides, began to appear on the Internet about a breakthrough of the front from Horlivka to Toretsk. According to the most optimistic statements, the advance of Russian troops was about three to five kilometers, and this was on one of the oldest and most fortified sections of the front.
Our sources confirm the push from the Maiorsk checkpoint towards Druzhba. According to available information, the advance was about 900 meters along the railway and to the pumping station of the 3rd lift on the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal. At the moment, there is no objective footage yet, and the fighting continues, so the situation may still change somewhat.
At the same time, according to the first reports, Russian troops broke through Pivdenne to the administrative borders of Zalizne, but this information has not yet been clearly confirmed.
It is curious that previous attempts to advance in this area were made by the enemy about a year ago. At the end of June - beginning of July 2023, Ukrainian formations carried out several local attacks in the Druzhba area on the eastern bank of the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal. Otherwise, there were only artillery duels and occasional DRG raids in this area."

Unsurprisingly, all attempts over the past few weeks to negotiate an end to the war have failed, and now the next proposal will be terms of surrender from the Kremlin:
www.zerohedge.com
Since this war will be going on for decades, Russia is enlarging it's soldier pool significantly:
www.zerohedge.com
What this ultimately will mean is NK troops in Ukraine, have no doubts. The reasoning is simple; NK gains valuable war experience for it's troops. It also directly fights against the USA, who is supporting their enemy, South Korea.
One might wonder if NK would become vulnerable to attack if they sent troops to Ukraine, but this isn't a big deal because we know from the Korean War that if North Korea is invaded then the Chinese will send in 1 million+ troops to secure NK again.
Therefore, for NK to be signing a mutual defense pact with Putin means China has approved for NK to send troops into Ukraine. This allows China to directly support Russia's war effort without damaging any trade relations with the USA because they are fighting through their proxy (NK).
Just like the (((West))) is willing to fight to the last Ukrainian, so too is China willing to fight to the last Russian, which is why they are gearing up to support Russia now. Both China and Russia must realize that eventually all of Europe will be sent into Ukraine to "liberate" it, so Russia will need additional infantry in the years to come. This treaty is the first step to secure additional manpower.

Since this war will be going on for decades, Russia is enlarging it's soldier pool significantly:
Putin & Kim Sign Pact Vowing Mutual Defense If Attacked | ZeroHedge

What this ultimately will mean is NK troops in Ukraine, have no doubts. The reasoning is simple; NK gains valuable war experience for it's troops. It also directly fights against the USA, who is supporting their enemy, South Korea.
One might wonder if NK would become vulnerable to attack if they sent troops to Ukraine, but this isn't a big deal because we know from the Korean War that if North Korea is invaded then the Chinese will send in 1 million+ troops to secure NK again.
Therefore, for NK to be signing a mutual defense pact with Putin means China has approved for NK to send troops into Ukraine. This allows China to directly support Russia's war effort without damaging any trade relations with the USA because they are fighting through their proxy (NK).
Just like the (((West))) is willing to fight to the last Ukrainian, so too is China willing to fight to the last Russian, which is why they are gearing up to support Russia now. Both China and Russia must realize that eventually all of Europe will be sent into Ukraine to "liberate" it, so Russia will need additional infantry in the years to come. This treaty is the first step to secure additional manpower.
Donetsk - 20.06.2024
"The situation in the Donetsk direction as of 15:00 /Moscow time/ June 20, 2024
In the Donetsk direction, Russian troops have advanced west of Netailove, and continue the assault on positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Krasnohorivka.
On the northern flank, fighting is taking place in the gardening community on the approaches to Karlivka. At the same time, on the opposite bank of the Karlivka Reservoir, the Russian Armed Forces advanced to the former elite cottage community - consolidation in this area will allow Russian Forces to establish fire control over the northern and central parts of Karlivka and support the work of assault detachments.
If Russian troops also manage to get hold of the outskirts of Yasnobrodivka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have no other option than to retreat under fire to the northwest, to Skuchne.
Fighting in Krasnohorivka does not stop. From the east, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces are breaking through enemy defenses along the Nakhimov Street and the banks of the Lozovaya River, forming a “half-cauldron” around Ukrainian formations defending in the residential sector and on the territory of the Shevchenko Park.
On the southern flank, in Maksymilyanivka, the Russian Armed Forces entered the eastern outskirts of the settlement. Fighting is also taking place in forest plantations to the southeast. However, the enemy still holds the northwestern outskirts of Heorhiivka, which merges with Maksymilyanivka."

Crimea - 21.06.2024
"Attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Crimea. June 20-21, 2024
Last night, after a short period of time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out a new massive attack on the southern territories of the Russian Federation, including: Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory.
The UAV raid was carried out in several successive waves. And the drones were launched from more than six directions of Odessa, Ilyichevsk, Nikolaev and Krivoy Rog.
Air defense units in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions began work around 22:00-23:00 hours. The Pantsir-S1 air defense system crews shot down more than 15 UAVs.
By midnight, the crews of the 31st Air Defense Division of the Russian Armed Forces, naval aviation aircraft and mobile rifle detachments in Crimea turned on, and destroyed most of the UAVs in different parts of the peninsula.
Several dozen more drones, having crossed the Sea of Azov, were shot down over Yeysk, Kozet, Enem in the Krasnodar Territory: their target were once again oil depots and airfields of the Russian Armed Forces.
In total, 114 drones were destroyed last night.
As a result of the fall of one of the UAV fragments, a resident of one of the settlements in the Krasnodar region died.
However one shouldn’t relax. Such UAV raids are followed by missile strikes, since the purpose of a massive UAV raid is to force air defense units to deplete their ammunition.
Moreover, in parallel with UAV attacks, unmanned boats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine approached the coast of Crimea. The idea is simple - to tie down Russian aviation with air defense, instead of fighting with unmanned boats.
In addition, from the very morning, an American RQ-4B drone flew into the Black Sea, which arrived not only to assess the night attack, but also to identify new targets for potential attacks."

Artemovsk - 21.06.2024
"The situation in the Artemovsk direction as of 21:00 /Moscow time/ June 21, 2024
Russian troops continue to advance, with heavy fighting, in the eastern part of Chasiv Yar and its environs.
In the Kanal Microdistrict, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces knocked out the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the ruins of the Concrete Plant, completely taking control of the area north of Oleg Koshevoy Street. The enemy is resisting and seeking to maintain positions on the eastern bank of the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal, to the west of which the main territory of Chasiv Yar is located.
To the north, in Kalinina, according to reports assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces managed to significantly advance within the boundaries of the settlement. However, incoming information about the enemy’s withdrawal from the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal has not yet been confirmed from the ground.
At the same time, part of the Orlova Tract Forestry also came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, but fighting continues in the forest area north of the railway. After Russian troops reach the O0506 road, a pocket will be formed between Kalinina and the outskirts of Bohdanivka, which will worsen the tactical position of Ukrainian formations located there.
To the south, clashes are taking place at the Krasne/Ivanivske-Klishchiivka-Kurdyumivka line. At the moment, no changes in the configuration of the front have been recorded, and previously made statements about the occupation of the ruins of Klishchiivka and neighboring villages have not yet been confirmed due to the lack of objective footage."

Russia reporting some pretty massive victories this week. Multiple sectors reporting Ukrainian losses in the THOUSANDS.
I don't know how truthful these reports are. I think all these war departments lie. Even in the lopsided US invasion of Iraq the US turned out to be lying about several points (particularly the effectiveness of the Patriot missile system, which was later revised to be about 10%, and then later revised again to 1%, as effective as originally claimed. (Did Russia really shoot down 114 drones in a single night in Dnepr?)
To me the most shocking number is only 37 Ukrainians surrendered during the week.
Summary of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the progress of the special military operation (as of June 21, 2024)
From June 15 to 21, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out 14 group strikes with high-precision air and ground-based weapons, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, during which storage facilities of military-technical property, infrastructure of military airfields, electrical substations that provided the work of enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine, and places of preparation for the use of unmanned boats were hit. The points of temporary deployment of nationalist formations and foreign mercenaries were also affected.
During the week, units of the North group of forces improved the situation along the front line and defeated the manpower and equipment of two formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a marine brigade, as well as two air defense brigades.
