How is the attack going. APU moved forward along the entire southern front
Volya June 09, 2023

Despite the stubborn statements of the Russian Defense Ministry about the strength of the Russian defense, according to reports from the Russian and Ukrainian military from the field and from headquarters, the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully pushed through the first line of defense of the Russian Armed Forces on the southern front.

The Russian troops, reinforced over the past night with reserves, avoided quick breakthroughs and encirclements, but they cannot hold their positions, slowly retreating almost along the entire line of contact.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine achieved the greatest success by advancing from the direction of Vuhledar to Staromlynovka. According to the Russian military in the combat zone, the Ukrainian army has begun to deploy strike units that can break through the defenses of the Russian Armed Forces and, thus, bring down the entire defense on this sector of the front.

If the Armed Forces of Ukraine succeed, then the RF Armed Forces in the southeastern direction plan to retreat to Volnovakha and occupy the defensive line between Volnovakha and Mariupol (Maloyanisol-Andreevka). What will happen to the formations of the RF Armed Forces in the Gulyai-Polye and Orekhovsky directions is a question, because the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to attack them on the flank and go behind their lines.

“They will squeeze ours in the southeast, they will have to drape to Melitopol, to the north of the city there is a line of fortifications. We might be able to stay there for a day or two. It can be seen that in the morning today at the Ukrainians, assault units, experienced and evil, went into action.

Our command is pumping up reserves to the front line, but it is already felt that there are few of them left, our artillery has been knocked out in many places, the density of fire is decreasing. During the day there was a meeting, tank counterattacks were discussed, which we will carry out where the Ukrainians become completely insolent.

In short, we fight in the Soviet way. Let's burn all our stored tanks like this, but at least we'll have time to withdraw without panic and defeat, ”a Russian staff officer located north of Melitopol is not too optimistic about the chances of the RF Armed Forces.

While there is no talk of defeat, the offensive is at the very beginning.

Since Sunday, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not yet used the main strike units assembled for the offensive. Judging by the information from the front, this may happen in the next day or has already happened, the information comes with a delay. According to our information, the RF Armed Forces have already committed more than 40 thousand soldiers from the reserves into battle.

The transfer of newly formed units from the Crimea to the Genichesk region is hastily going on, from where they can be transferred further to the front line. The locations of Russian reserves are under constant fire from Ukrainian artillery and MLRS. Also under fire are the roads connecting the rear with the front line.

In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation there are large losses of trucks and vehicles. On the front line in many units there is a problem with drinking water, the supply of which cannot be replenished.

An employee of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation, working in Melitopol, said that as early as June 8, officials and business travelers from the Russian Federation were ordered to be ready to leave just in case. The end point was called Simferopol. This is not yet an evacuation, but preparation for it.

If the front is broken through in the area of ​​Tokmak or Pologov, then the occupying authorities will have no more than five to seven hours to run to the Crimea. The roads are under artillery fire of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Open data scientists and Russian opposition military experts would be better off not placing too much hope on the “fortification lines” dug up throughout the Zaporozhye region. They work mainly on maps, although in some places they really slowed down the advance of the Ukrainian army. Slowed down but didn't stop.

We are also in a hurry to disappoint civilian lovers of history and tanks. Tank wedges and attacks in the spirit of the Battle of Kursk during the offensive have not yet been seen by anyone, except for the experts mentioned above. Armored vehicles and tanks are used, but not at all like in the movies. Ukrainian infantrymen with rolled up sleeves do not march behind the formation of fifty "Leopards".

There are heavy battles, serious losses on both sides.

Legend to the maps: the green line marks the approximate position of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The settlements underlined in green are taken under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The red line is the approximate position of the RF Armed Forces. The settlement of Pologi underlined in red is the key position of the RF Armed Forces in this direction.

In Ukraine’s South, Fierce Fighting and Deadly Costs

The offensive in the south was the most highly anticipated military action of the summer. Ukraine is making gains, but the fighting is grinding, grueling and steep in casualties.

“Putin Cops to ‘Significant Losses,’ Inferior Weapons in Stunning War Admission”

“In a rare admission, Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged Friday that Russia is sustaining “significant losses” in the war on Ukraine.

“In recent days, we have seen significant losses in Ukraine, they exceed the classical figure,” he said, according to the Kremlin.

The Russian president also confessed that Russian forces were dealing with artillery problems, adding in his remarks that “Yes, we still do not have enough of these modern weapons, but the defense industry, the country’s military-industrial complex is developing rapidly.”

The dispirited comments about Moscow’s prospects in the war come just as Ukraine has launched a series of counteroffensives to push Russian forces out of the country.”

It appears Strelkov/Girkin has either been beaten, been having sleepless or has some serious problems. Here he is with bruised eyes with bags and a bottle of Vodka.

This is what has to be giving the Russian command sleepless nights. Ukraine has several different options, all of which are viable, and complementary to each other in their overall strategy.

The offensive is a few days old, still in its early stages, and Ukraine has not shown commitment to one set of objectives yet. They still have options on where to push and for now can switch goals if the opportunity presents. Which means, the Russian command can not be sure how to respond, or fully commit to any defensive response. Ukraine still has the initiative.

At the minimum, all Ukraine has to do is take back territory that shows they can deliver on what was discussed with allies, and hurt the Russian hold in Eastern Ukraine. If the operational and political goals are achieved, as long as Ukraine can make good on its losses, it is still a win for Ukraine. Ukraine is definitely taking and going to take more losses than they want. No way around it.

For the rest of the year, any Ukrainian win is a long term Russian loss.

Russian war bloggers still whining that Ukraine is making final preparations for DDay style crossing of Dnipro to launch operations in occupied southern Kherson region.

I bet that most of the Ukrainian troops in any Dnipro “D Day” crossing from west bank Kherson region will push to Zaporizhzhia region instead of Crimea-Kherson border to assist in cutting off Putin’s land bridge from Mariupol to Crimea.

You would be well-advised to not listen to the doggerel of the Putinists.

EVERY SINGLE THING they have claimed about the situation has proven to be false. They claimed Ukraine couldn’t stop the advance on Kyiv. They claimed RuSSia wasn’t losing much equipment or troops. They claimed the RuSSian convoy wasn’t breaking down. They claimed the withdrawal from Kharkiv wasn’t happening. They claimed the withdrawal from Kherson wasn’t happening. Yet reality corrected them.

These people are not grounded in reality. They listen to the “Dr.” Turley’s and the RuSSian-propaganda bloviators on YouTube and think they’re front line soldiers against the deep state. But they’d be the first ones to turn over friends and family if they deep state ever knocked on their door to take them away.

They are not intelligent. Everything they said THEN was false. Everything they say NOW is false.

Appreciate your comments, my goal is to get these guys all on the record, realize they will never admit defeat or just change handle and start again
Their obsession with Biden, homo….is fascinating and has nothing to do with why Putin invaded. They project, deflect, and when all else fails they attack things like intelligence which is sad.
They say this post is all BS, yet spend an inordinate and frankly concerning amount of time on it, doing calculations that no one but they care about
I hope the Ukrainians win and push the orcs back to their soon to be decreasing border if not that does not change my support for their fight against imperialist war criminal invaders. I have sadness for Ukrainian loses and for those poor Russians sent to fight this war for putins dreams.
Putin and his supporters can rot in hell for all I care

May God please protect and bless those brave Ukrainian patriots, and guide their hands to achieve their mission.

Please join me to pray for them, and their success.

As much as Girkin deserves trial before the Hague for MH-17 and other crimes, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger". He is drinking it off while talking as is nothing happened. He knew this could happen and undoubtedly has plans if it gets too hot for him.

Forgive me for being equal opportunity.

For dispelling Kremlin narratives so well he was roughed up for it,
Igor Vsevolodovich Girkin is awarded the.

Flak Means You Are Over the Target Award.

They will take the Russians keyboard successes propaganda as a win, funny to hear 100-200 meters is minuscule yet it was proof of overwhelming success elsewhere like bakmut.
Regardless this will be a tough slog, losses will happen, valadar anyone????

My take on the video making the rounds is that those vehicles are not all destroyed and some reports say leopard is already back in service, who knows

Will wait to see. As the line goes nothing is happening till it does

I guess claiming a win on propaganda is a win for them, time will tell.

Russia has proven it is willing to take steep loses, for how long is the question. This is not the Soviet Union and this is not the “great patriotic war”.
