I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and sixty ninth day of the war.
Day 471: Jun 09
Today there is a lot of good news from the Orikhiv direction.
“When it comes to the main direction of attack, first of all, today, Ukrainian sources reported that battalion and brigade commanders had a meeting with higher-level commanders specifically to communicate the solutions to the problems that they encountered in the first days, and it was confirmed that all plans were adjusted.
One of the lower-level commanders said that mistakes were inevitable at the beginning because it was simply impossible to predict everything on paper. He said that one of the things that they implemented is a new approach to engineering reconnaissance, and Russian mines have already become a lesser problem.
Ukrainians forces also received a lot of critique for not using mine rollers, however, it turned out the initial Russian footage just did not include Ukrainian mine rollers to show the enemy in a bad light. Recent footage confirms that Ukrainians did not attack unprepared.
Today Ukrainians also confirmed that they successfully evacuated Leopard tanks, and most of them had minor damage, so Ukrainians quickly changed the road wheels and tracks, and the tanks were ready for use. And Ukrainians managed to evacuate those tanks from the front line because in the aftermath of yesterday’s battle, the front line shifted by up to 3 km.
Over the last 3 days, Russian sources were continuously reporting that even though Ukrainians managed to take several positions, their attacks were repelled, and later all lost positions were recaptured. However, if we look at these Russian maps, we can that see that over the last 3 days, the front line shifted south significantly. In fact, Ukrainians managed to penetrate a 16 km wide front by up to 3 km.
And this is consistent with the reports that Ukrainians managed to get very close to Robotyne and also capture tactical heights because if we look at the topographic map, we can see that Ukrainians captured precisely the hill that we discussed yesterday, even according to Russian maps. This is also consistent with reports of Ukrainian fighters who claimed that they now have direct visual control of the main Russian strongholds.
Recently, a Russian commander elaborated on the Russian tactics. The goal of the first line of defense is to exhaust Ukrainian attackers and, if the attack it too intense, retreat to the second line. Once Ukrainian attackers exhaust their offensive capabilities, Russians deploy their reserves, counterattack the exhausted Ukrainians and recapture all the positions. It seems like, so far, the second part of the plan did NOT really work.
One of the reasons why it doesn’t work is that after the attack, Ukrainians use Remote Anti-Armor Mine systems or RAAM to distantly mine the roads that are used by Russian reserves. RAAM is a specialist artillery shell that scatters anti-armor mines up 17 km away from the firing unit.
Today Russian sources reported that Ukrainians managed to mine all the main Russian roads between Robotyne and Verbove, which is exactly where Ukrainians are trying to advance.
Several hours ago, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians launched artillery preparation, which is why they are preparing to face yet another wave of attack at night. Russian sources complained that Ukrainians switched to night attacks because Western equipment gives them the edge on the battlefield at night.
The Head of one of the Russian organizations for the inspection and supplies of weapons, Rogozin, stated that he does not share the enthusiasm around the reports of the Ukrainian defeat. He said that Ukrainians have accumulated 600 tanks in the Orikhiv direction and that we are yet to see the main phase of the counteroffensive operation.”

We also knew that Joe Biden offered a quid-pro-quo to the Ukrainian officials: stop investigating the corruption at Burisma, or I will cut off $1 billion in foreign aid.
What we didn't know until last week was that the Biden crime family apparently received $10 million in cash - pure bribes - from Burisma as part of the deal where Biden forced the end of the investigation.
But, it's being widely reported now:
So, another part of dealing with reality is acknowledging that aside from the pretexts given for the War in Ukraine, the necessity of Joe Biden convering up these bribes is obviously a major motivation for him to continue his enthusiastic support - and endless funneling of American tax dollars to - his (literal) partners in crime in Ukraine.
It's shocking to fathom how much money is being scraped out of (for instance) the on-deck $2 billion money bomb being requested for Ukraine. That's $2,000 Million Dollars - another $5 Million for "The Big Guy", another $20 for Zelenski and his cabal -- who is even going to notice?
At some point we can hope that the well-meaning but naive supportes of this disasterous adventure will snap out of the trance that the endless stream of anti-Russian propaganda had induced and see the sad, pathetic, dirty origins of the war for what they are: graft and corruption by some of the most wasted, ineffective, dishonorable, dishonest and criminal politicians America has ever been burdened with. (And that is saying a lot.)
You can not make a righteous war out of a criminal endevor that began with millions in bribes paid to a contemptable and fradulent politician.
Let's Go Brandon!

However, war date of Russian invasion established 2014!!!
ECHR ruling confirms RUSSIAN INVASION of Ukraine began in 2014
By Zakhar Tropin
https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/echr-ruling-confirms-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-began-in-2014/
“The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled on January 25 that cases brought by Ukraine and the Netherlands against Russia were admissible.
This intermediate decision is a significant legal milestone in the quest for justice over Russian aggression against Ukraine, as it recognizes that parts of eastern Ukraine seized by so-called separatists in spring 2014 were in fact CONTROLLED BY RUSSIA. “The Court found that areas in eastern Ukraine in separatist hands were from May 11, 2014, and up to at least January 26, 2022, under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation,” the court stated.
This ruling confirms what had long been the world’s worst-kept secret. Ever since the appearance of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region in spring 2014, it was apparent that these nominally independent entities were in fact closely TIED to Russia. Nevertheless, Moscow continued to officially deny any direct involvement in eastern Ukraine until the launch of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022.
Russia’s blanket denials complicated the numerous international court proceedings initiated over alleged crimes committed in Ukraine following the outbreak of hostilities in 2014. The recent ECHR decision will have potentially wide-ranging implications in this context. It now paves the way for a series of international cases that had been put on hold pending a ruling over jurisdiction.
So, the CIA and Soros engineered coup (planned in part by Victoria Nuland, who is on recordings picking who the new President in they will install) was the precursor to the break-away Republics in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea. And also the percursor to the Biden crime family sinking their claws into the State oil company.
Which came first: the Obama admins plan for a color revlution and regime chnage in Ukraine (which started the war)
OR
The Biden desire to make millions off of Ukraine (following a general pattern he used in dealing with several other countries?
Do you think if the elected government of Ukraine was not overthrown in the Maiden revolution that any of this would have happened? The Russian-aligned provinces declaring independence in the face of the appointed regimes obvious hostility to them? The Biden's getting their claws into Burisima? The escalating military pretensions of Ukraine, the clumsy attempts to join NATO that the Russians so strenuously objected to?
The coup (the second color revolution attempted in Ukraine) is the original sin, from which all the current suffering was spawned.
