Ukraine is attacking Moscow with drones again. Several have been shot down so far. More are flying towards the city.

Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 1578-1584: 🇺🇦🇷🇺
Situation on Pokrovskaya & Novomykolaivka fronts: During the third and fourth weeks of June, Russian army launched a series of infiltration attacks toward the Vovcha and Haichur rivers, expanding the “death zone” northward. Despite videos showing Russian flags flying in Pysantsi, Novoskelyuvate, and Bohodarivka, these localities are no longer under Russian control. Similar to what happened in Dobropasove, Russian forces staged a media victory by entering these localities and then withdrawing from them, which calls into question the reputation of the Russian high command in charge of this sector of the front, who are more concerned with their own positions than with the well-being of their troops.

This is what I reported a couple of days ago.

Huljajpole direction.

After the capture of the city, the main Ukrainian stronghold has been Zaliznychne.
At the moment it’s being subject to great amounts of Russian infiltrations, which are focusing more on the southern and northern flanks of the village than on the village itself.

The situation is difficult, and the sensation is such that the village should be left because of the pressure, but the command still doesn’t think this way, which leads to expected consequences.

Ukrainian logistics into Zaliznychne are already limited. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up cut off.

A few hours ago, a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile launched from Crimea impacted an unknown target approximately east of Mykolaiv City.

An explosion was heard from Mykolaiv.

Russia likely intends to launch their next large-scale, combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine in the next few days.

4 Tu-95MS strategic bombers are redeploying from Ukrainka Airbase in the Far East to Olenya Airbase after completing their large-scale training missions. They are likely already equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.

1 Tu-95MS stationed at Engels-2 Airbase is already equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles. The same goes for 1-2 Tu-160M strategic bombers stationed at Ukrainka Airbase.

Because this attack was delayed by the training missions in the Far East, Russia carried out multiple smaller attacks involving Iskander-M ballistic missiles over the last several days. This could mean that they will not use as many Iskanders during this upcoming attack as they accumulate additional missiles.

Following pressure from Iran, Omani officials informed European authorities that a return to the pre-war status quo in the Strait of Hormuz is not feasible, and that ships transiting the strait may be required to pay certain fees. The idea of an Iran-Oman strait is becoming more and more of a reality. 🇮🇷🇴🇲

The IDF stated that they killed a Hezbollah member near the village of Al-Manzala, southern Lebanon, who they claim was operating near IDF positions and "posed a threat" to Israeli soldiers.

The IDF claims they killed Ali Kaid Muhammad Sattitan, a unit commander of the elite "Nukhba" force of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's Saraya Al-Quds Brigades, in a recent targeted assassination strike on the central Gaza Strip.

They claim that Ali Kaid was one of the members who infiltrated Israeli territory on October 7, and that he "posed a threat" to Israeli soldiers due to his advancement of "terror plans".

Two Russian operator-controlled Geran-2 drones struck powerlines near Zaporizhzhia City, cutting off power to nearby electricals substations.

You'll have your monthly frontline changes report tomorrow.

But in short, the numbers aren't very good for Russia.

Of course, km² don't matter much in a war of attrition. Russia could be losing territory every month and still technically be winning by dealing more attrition.

They still have the advantage in almost every sector of this war, except for maybe mid-range drone strikes, and are therefore dealing a lot more attrition to Ukraine than Ukraine is to Russia.

But these figures are the result of successful Ukrainian adaptations, and a biproduct of the increased fluidity of the frontline, which can't even really be considered a conventional line of contact anymore.
