I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and seventy sixth day of the war.
Day 476: Jun 14
Ukrainian forces continued successfully advancing in all main directions. Yesterday, I told you that Levadne may very soon become the main axis of advance, and today Russian sources confirmed that after demining the field and conducting small reconnaissance-in-force operations, Ukrainians launched a much bigger attack.
Russian sources reported that Ukrainians are advancing not only eastward but also southward and that today Ukrainian assault units established control over multiple Russian positions in the tree lines.
Ukrainian forces are also ramping up the intensity of the attacks in the direction of Rivnopil. Today Russian sources reported that Ukrainians assaulted this settlement with up to 5 tanks and 5 armored fighting vehicles. The goal of this combination of attacks remains to even out the front line and set the conditions for a broader line of advancement.
When it comes to the Russian counterattack, as expected, Russian forces failed to recapture Makarivka due to the weak control over the tactical heights around this settlement. Russian sources reported that they relocated their forces from the Orikhiv front to increase the scale and potency of their counterattack and opened another direction, namely, Urozhaine.
Some sources claim that the village is now in the grey zone, and the ongoing clashes do not cease because Ukrainians stubbornly continue to hold the line. In order to undermine Russian offensive capabilities, Ukrainian forces have deployed several HIMARS crews to the region to conduct precise counterbattery fire. Geolocated footage showed how Ukrainians destroyed 5 Russian artillery systems.
In a desperate attempt to change the situation, Russian forces hacked the radio in the region and started broadcasting a message. They claimed that Ukrainian positions were cut from two sides and there was no escape, and the Ukrainian command did not plan to save them, which is why other forces have already left their positions. They said this was their last chance to capitulate because all Ukrainian reserves had been destroyed.
Ironically, in the meantime, Ukrainians conducted a massive HIMARS strike on Russian reserves and eliminated more than 200 Russian soldiers. This caused a massive scandal and unofficial investigation in the Russian media space, and Russian sources quickly found out and published the cause and results of the Ukrainian strike.
If you still remember, around 3 months ago, I made a video about the biggest tank battle in Ukraine that took place in front of Vuhledar. I told you that in the aftermath of disastrous planning, Russian forces lost almost 150 tanks and armored fighting vehicles and several brigades worth of troops.
There were 2 people responsible for this disaster: Lieutenant-General Rustam Muradov and Colonel Sakhrab Akhmedov. Interestingly, in their reports, they claimed that they achieved unbelievable success, which is why Putin signed an executive order to give both of them a higher rank, and Rustam Muradov became a Colonel-General, while Sakhrab Akhmedov became a Major-General.
As you might have already guessed, the success of the Ukrainian HIMARS strike was only possible because these commanders were left in charge. Russian sources reported that Sakhrab Akhmedov wanted to give a motivational speech to his troops and called everyone to assemble in the yard and wait for him.
Unfortunately for Russians, Ukrainian reconnaissance drone operators quickly noticed the parade, gave the coordinate to the HIMARS crews, and eliminated at least 200 Russian troops.
So, Akhmedov effectively killed his own troops by ordering everyone to gather in the plain sight of the enemy and forcing everyone to wait for an extended period of time. Even the most prominent Russian sources are calling for the execution of General Akhmedov by firing squad, and they claimed that such Russian commanders killed more Russians with their criminal orders than Ukrainians did with weapons.

I had lost count. I was surprised by these stats & thought would be of interest to share the number of Russian generals killed in Ukraine revealed according to Media zona’s estimate at the BEGINNING OF JUNE based on open sources:
4 Generals; 58 Colonels; 176 Lieutenant Colonels
1- Major General Kanamat Batushev
2- Major General Roman Kuchazov
3- Major General Andrew Sukovitsky
4- Major General Vladimir Frolov
5- Major Sergey Goryachev Chief of Staff of the 35th
combined arms Army of the Russian Armed Forces on
June 12th.

Bragging Russian General who Putin promoted after hearing his false report of success instead of failure succeeds in causing many deaths of his own troops.
Another example of how Putin’s failure to learn computer skills like email, social media, etc. is costing him success in his war. I’m sure that some word of this disaster showed up on social media and might have been emailed, tic toced, or twittered to Putin if he had such accounts or if they were allowed in Russia. Does anyone know the status of public email and other community accessability in Russia?
Yes - but I always have to temper my grasp with a bit of important context - The Russians (and the Ukrainians as well - and many in that part of the world) have historically been a lot more generous/liberal with “General” and other higher officer ranks than the West. It’s a way of keeping and stroking the pride of those men. And as we have seen - it doesn’t necessarily reflect actual leadership or even functional power in some cases.
Oops, forgot to ping other names at my comment #26, for possible answers to my question.
If Putin has isolated himself from social media and emails it’s a win for Ukraine. It’s making Russian commandement less effective, for sure.
However... I’m wondering if it’s not a kind of Russian propaganda, that they want the West to believe Putin has isolated himself that way - to make him look like a madman while boasting about the fact that this makes Putin “immune” to Western propaganda.
It’s a 50/50% chance either way.
You mean: "More generous/liberal in AWARDING the rank of 'General,'" right.
I am reminded of a salacious joke involving the nymphomaniacal Catherine the Great, and her penchant for promoting lowly stableboys to the rank of General who had shown special, ahem, enthusiasm in "servicing" her.
Regards,
1- Major General Kanamat Batushev
2- Major General Roman Kuchazov
3- Major General Andrew Sukovitsky
4- Major General Vladimir Frolov
5- Major Sergey Goryachev Chief of Staff of the 35th combined arms Army of the Russian Armed Forces on June 12th.
I count FIVE Generals.
I regret the death of every Russian conscript - even though it is necessary for Ukraine to win this war.
I don't regret the deaths of Russian Major-Generals (one-star generals).
QUESTION: How many Soviet generals died in WWII?
Regards,
“I count FIVE Generals.”
The video separated 4 Generals from the 5th from Major Sergey Goryachev was Chief of Staff combined arms Army of the Russian Armed Forces.
I believe this is because Sergey Goryachev would have been comparable to the position held by General Mark A. Milley, U.S. Department of Defense.
Most amazingly... all these officers were eliminated just since JUNE 1st!
On May 10th, Scott David Berrier AO lieutenant general in the U.S. Army who serving as the Director of the Defense Intelligence (spy) Agency announced the death of at least
eight Russian generals!!!
