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 fifth day of the war.
Day 475: Jun 13
The most intense clashes continue to take place south of Velyka Novosilka.
Today Ukrainian 35th and 137th Mechanized Brigades finally released footage of how they managed to generate such a deep and powerful breakthrough along the hills west of the river. First of all, Ukrainians launched massive artillery preparation on the first Russian line of defense along the tree lines. Judging by the footage, it seems like Russian sources did not exaggerate its devastation.
Next, Ukrainians launched a mechanized attack, where multiple armored fighting vehicles drew enemy attention to themselves, suppressed enemy fire, and provided cover for the infantry. The infantry quickly closed the distance and started storming whatever was left of the Russian defense line. The key was to repeat this process non-stop, and with each iteration, the Russian defense was collapsing faster and faster, as the fallback positions did not have a chance to be properly manned and supported. In the aftermath of the first wave of attacks, Russians were forced out of Neskuchne, Storozheve, and, Blahodatne.
Yesterday I told you that Ukrainians launched the second wave of attacks here and that Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister confirmed that these attacks resulted in the liberation of Makarivka. Today Ukrainian 35th and 137th Mechanized Brigades also released a video of how it happened. As you can see, the attacks were heavier, and Ukrainians already started using tanks to demolish Russian trenches in the tree lines around the village while the infantry was assaulting the village itself.
The fighter reported that Russians were not prepared to face such a powerful attack and abandoned their positions immediately after Ukrainians entered Makarivka. He also said that Russians immediately started using aviation and regular and thermobaric artillery to level the village with the ground while the whole Ukrainian assault unit was still in the region, however, he noted that they were prepared for such a development, his artillery units quickly returned the fire, and Russian artillery strikes immediately stopped.
Yesterday, I also told you that Russian forces launched a counterattack in the direction of Makarivka, and I told you that this move was highly likely done to protect the flanks of the retreating from Rivnopil forces. And this is exactly what was happening today.
Russian sources reported that Russian forces conducted at least 3 powerful attacks on Makarivka during the day, which forced Ukrainians to use their forces here. Such actions alleviated pressure from Rivnopil and allowed Russian troops to repel small Ukrainian attacks, even though part of the personnel had departed to the next line of defense. Russian sources reported that in the meantime they are actively digging trenches 700 meters south of Makarivka.
Simultaneously, Ukrainian forces are destroying Russian troops and reinforcements in the rear. Today Ukrainian sources confirmed that they relocated here the most feared drone detachment, namely, Madiar’s Birds Assault Drone Battalion. Just over the last day, Madiar’s Birds destroyed 8 Russian tanks. 4 of those strikes were geolocated, and it was revealed that they destroyed 2 tanks in Staromaiorske, 2 tanks in Zavitne Bazhannya.
Ukrainians also relocated Special Operators Omega, who also posted footage of destroying Russian tanks in Staromaiorske. Finally, reconnaissance drone detachments from 55th and 129th Brigades showed how they identified and in coordination with artillery crews, destroyed at least 4 pieces of equipment in Staromlynivka.
When it comes to the further development of the counteroffensive operation, today, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians finished the demining process between Levadne and Pryyutne and conducted a reconnaissance-in-force operation.
This is a strong indicator that the next powerful attack may come from this direction, and as Ukrainians also attacked Rivnopil today, it seems like Ukrainians are planning to even out the front line before conducting another deep penetration of the Russian defenses. And this makes sense because if we look at the topographic map, we can see that by evening out the contact line, Ukrainians will gain very wide access to the next elevated platform, which will make it easier to breach the next Russian defense line.

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for June 13, 2023:
- Ukraine in its second week of offensive operations is still struggling within Russia’s security zone, having failed to even reach Russia’s first major defensive lines;
- The Western media is attempting to claim Ukrainian-held villages along the front equates to progress, yet these are villages the same Western media admitted Russia evacuated ahead of the offensive, preparing fully to include them as part of the security zone;
- The Western media is also admitting heavy Ukrainian losses among German Leopard 2 tanks, engineering equipment, Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, MRAPs, and much more;
- The US is scrambling to pass another “security assistance” package to replace lost Bradley and Stryker armored vehicles, however Ukraine’s ability to effectively use these in any quantity is prohibited by a lack of training, experience, logistics, and sustainment capabilities;
- Some in the Western media propose Ukraine still has enough offensive potential to cut the “land bridge” between Crimea and the rest of Russia, however, Ukraine clearly will lose much of its combat capabilities doing so, leaving little to anything left to hold gains once the offensive grinds to a halt;
The grain deal in practice is that the Turkish Navy mine sweeps Ukrainian harbors and escorts the grain shipments. Russia stays out of the way and avoids engaging the Turkish armed forces.
What part of the deal Putin thinks he can withdraw is ambiguous.

Kazan is spamming his usual spam to hijack and disrupt instead of posting his own threads. Since the war began there has been quite a assortment of anti-American posts here pandering to conservatives. Its disappointing to those old enough to remember when the “useful idiots” advancing Russian goals were liberals.
“useful idiots” advancing Russian goals were liberals.”
I believe them to be russian ‘moles’ & never were conservative.
Personally, I want to see the Ukrainian army fill so many body bags with Russian soldiers and sent them home to Mother Russia for burial, that the entire Russian country says that this “special military action” must stop.

The recent clashes in the Russia-Ukraine war clearly show that the war will continue by increasing its intensity. Russian leader Vladimir Putin is facing a series of problems on the frontline while struggling with problems within the country. The Ukrainian army has increased its attacks. The intensity of the war is increasing every day!
The Ukrainian army is determined to repel the Russian invaders from its territory. Zelenski, who has taken a determined stance against the invaders since the beginning of the war, has achieved great success with the support of his people. Ukraine, which was in a defense position in the first days of the occupation, has now switched to an offensive position. Putin faced a series of developments he never expected.
The Ukrainian army, strengthened with the support of Western and European countries, continues to deal heavy blows to the Russian invaders. We mentioned the developments in Belgorod in our previous reports. Soldiers from the Legion of Freedom of Russia and Russian Volunteer Units targeted Russian occupation points in various parts of Belgorod. As a result of these attacks, the Russian occupiers lost ammunition and soldiers.
Ukrainian military intelligence announced that a senior officer was among the casualties of the Russian invaders. 52-year-old Colonel Andrei Vasilievich Stesyev was killed in the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka during clashes in Belgorod. Ukrainian military intelligence said Colonel Stesyev, a former commander of the 104th Guards Air Assault Regiment, took part in the Bucha massacre in March 2022.
Russian commanders are being killed one by one!
The Russian Defense Ministry announced last month that it had lost two senior commanders in Bakhmut. These occupation commanders were Vyacheslav Makarov, Commander of the 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade, and Yevgeny Brovko, Deputy Commander. The Russian Defense Ministry said Makarov was killed while leading his troops on the front line. Brovko died of “multiple shrapnel wounds”. Difficulties await Putin, who has lost his commanders at the front.

Residents Kryvyi Rih — the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy — are attempting to salvage what they can after a missile attack destroyed several civilian buildings. CBC correspondent Margaret Evans witnessed massive destruction with body bags lying in a playground at the centre of the buildings.
“I want to see the Ukrainian army fill so many body bags with Russian soldiers and sent them home to Mother Russia for burial, that the entire Russian country says that this “special military action” must stop.”
I agree. Ukraine has sent them. In about 2014, a massive crematorium has been built in St Petersburg.
Putin has past a law stating it is now illegal to disagree or speak negatively about the Russian “special military action.”
The Russian people have & are protesting. But, they are thrown in prison. Some escape crossing the Russian border with just the clothes on their back
.
Putin is suppose to be up for another election. Of course we can predict the results now. Only if Ukraine wins this Russian Invasion will Putin be ousted by Kremlin or commit ‘suicide.’ Demitri Medvvedev [former Russian president] shoots his mouth often when he is drunk. So, I do not believe he will be the replacement for Putin.
What Adam Delimkhanov doink?
Have no idea who he is, nor do I care to know. I believe nothing coming from either side.
The New Atlas is one of the best sources for what is happening in Ukraine. Where he is based means nothing.
Dishonest and purposely deceptive comment such as you own is pure propaganda and should be taken as fictitious.
Great gains, in land and in the Russian General’s death.
I’ve always said that once Russia invades, this war will be endless for Russia. Ukraine will never give up and will fight this stupid invasion for as long as it takes.
Putin will lose more men, more military credibility and more power, in general. Russia is now the Iran of Europe.
“Great gains, in land and in the Russian General’s death.
