Fighterbomber with an update:
"the number of planes hit is in the single digits. (Hit does not always mean destroyed)"

More satellite footage will emerge in the coming days, which will give us a better idea of losses.

Rybar says:
The total number of aircraft that were previously disabled is 13 units:
▪️ up to 8 Tu-95MS units (some may be Il-76)
▪️ up to 4 Tu-22M units
▪️ up to 1 unit An-12

Again, I stand with what I said last night.
The potential of this vs the outcome is a lot better for Russia than I believe was expected.

No doubt there are big irrecoverable losses, and a much needed big victory for Ukraine,

But with 18 months of planning and 117 operators, I think there will be some disappointment with 8-13, given the potential for dozens.

With the informational incentive for Ukraine to release footage, I'm very surprised we haven't seen more.

One of the sections of the frontline which is incredibly underreported considering its significance to the Kostyantynivka direction is the stretch from Chasiv Yar to Toretsk.

While everyone is focused on the wedge being formed between Myrnohrad and Kostyantynivka, this section is still very far east and plays a critical role in defending the eastern buffer-zone of Kostyantynivka. Russia has been working on this line for months and it seems that it is finally cracking under the pressure.

To outline this sector, the main obstacle for Russia is the Siversky Donets Canal which runs through eastern Chasiv yar down to Horlivka in the rear. Following the reversal of the Ukrainian counteroffensive on the southern flank of Bakhmut in 2023-2024, Ukrainian forces fell back to a pre-prepared line along the western bank of this canal. This line is a continuous stretch of fortified trench strongpoints, firing positions and dugouts, situated along the summit of the tactical heights.

The Russian command knew that taking this line would be difficult and costly to do head on, especially considering the attacks would be largely uphill. So instead, they pulled the classic outflanking technique. With this sector, Russia already had the base of two pincers in the form of two bridgeheads over the canal to the north and south of this line. To the north they were already storming the main part of Chasiv Yar. This had to be done anyway so it served multiple purposes now. In the south Russia always controlled the western bank of the canal northeast of Toretsk and with the storming of the city, they were able to increasingly concentrate large numbers of personnel in the villages of Druzhba and Pivnichne and use them staging grounds for these attacks.

Assault operations started slow and continued like that for some time. They weren't continuous and regrouping was constantly conducted due to how strong this sector is. Over time the offensive was developed, and Russia began working their way up the western bank of the canal, hitting the Ukrainian fortifications from behind making resistance more difficult for Ukraine. Small-scale crossings also took place in the weaker spots, including southwest and northwest of Ozaryanivka. This further stretched Ukrainian lines and applied further pressure on already struggling forces.

Just recently, Russian forces managed to achieve a localised breakthrough, capturing most of Dyliivka (the northern one) and forming a dangerous salient for Ukrainian forces to the east. This completely undermines that section of the defensive line along the western bank of the canal and will soon force Ukrainian forces to withdraw to the last section further north.

Meanwhile on the northern pincer, Russian forces primarily focused on taking Chasiv Yar under their control, waiting for the forces to the south to make enough progress. Efforts were also focused on the stronghold village of Stupochky and the surrounding fortifications. The irregular landscape and geography of this area complicated Russian assault operations, however eventually they were able to dislodge Ukrainian forces from their positions and enter the village.

As of now, most of Stupochky is under Russian control. The southern houses are in the grey zone with Ukrainian soldiers constantly being brought in under heavy cover of FPV drones and mortars. However, Russia's continuous campaign of targeting FPV launch points has degraded Ukraine's ability to bring in reinforcements and hold a cohesive defence. Once Stupochky is secured and positions consolidated, Russia will likely begin to attack south/southwest in order to create one final cauldron west of the canal and finally collapse the line westwards towards the eastern approaches of Kostyantynivka.

Sumy direction on 02.06.25: offensive on Sumy – Alekseyevka, Kondratyevka...

In the last 48 hours, Russian troops have taken full control of two more villages in the Sumy direction – Alekseyevka and Kondratyevka. This means we have about 4 km left to go to the strategically important urban-type settlement of Khoten, while the distance to the regional center of Sumy has decreased to less than 18 km.

Meanwhile, the fighting in Yunakovka has shifted to the southern part of the village and most likely its liberation will soon be announced.

This will be an important stage in the operation to liberate Sumy from the tyranny of the Zelensky regime, since capturing the forested hills north of Yunakovka will not only pull up our left flank, but also provide us with a convenient base for a further build-up and deployment of artillery, which will then control the entire territory of the city with artillery fire.

Our units are also advancing on Miropolye. The logic here is also clear. It is from here that enemy drones are working on the logistics of our advancing group, so the capture of Miropolye will greatly simplify our further advancement.

Let's keep our fingers crossed and pray for the guys.
