🇺🇦 In the Zaporizhia direction, Russian special forces are celebrating the work of Ukrainian detachments. A unit of the 12th brigade of "Azov" finished off the crew stuck in a wrecked tank south of Malaya Tokmachka : the militants drove up in a pickup truck and executed their wounded.

The motives in this case are not entirely clear, because usually the bodies are taken - as well as the equipment. Maybe there were some personal scores. There is a version that in this way they do not allow the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to replenish the exchange fund.

But in general, the Ukrainian bodies of information and psychological warfare, in conjunction with the punitive detachments, solve one simple task on the Zaporozhye sector of the front: to prevent their own mobilized from doubting what is happening, and for the survivors to tell about the realities of the front.

Therefore, among the Ukrainian formations, rumors are spreading about the capture of Tokmak , non-existent losses and fake photos of “leopards”. And then again they are driven in waves to the Russian positions

At one time he took part in organizing the aggression against Libya. Then he tried to justify his complicity in this crime by the fact that the globalists gave him money.

🇺🇲🇺🇦🇷🇺 The offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine through the eyes of Western media

Wall Street Journal : “According to the 28-year-old soldier, as soon as the regiment crossed the road beyond Malaya Tokmachka, the Russians began to fire at them from Grads. "The fields were mined. Russian helicopters and jet fighters were buzzing overhead," the fighter said.

According to the soldier, one of the Leopards was hit and put out of action. " They were just waiting for us ... positions were prepared everywhere. It was a steel wall. It was terrible ," says the military.

"The plan was to move south towards the Russian-occupied city of Tokmok... The other two units would also be advancing towards Tokmok from different directions," one of the soldiers said.

A fighter with the call sign "Finn", who is fighting near Velikaya Novoselka, says that because of the rains and in the swampy terrain, the MaxxPro armored vehicles lose their effectiveness.

"They were made for urban combat and the desert. In our reality, they can get through, but this is a fight ," he said.


AFP : A mechanized unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that took part in the recent attacks near Orekhovo in the Zaporozhye region lost six of its nine American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.

Only one BMP was able to avoid any damage. Probably two more were damaged, but could be repaired and returned to service.

Answering an AFP question about the results of the offensive on this sector of the front, one of the Ukrainian servicemen pointed “zero” instead of answering with his fingers .

WSJ : "There were more of them than we expected," said a 35-year-old platoon leader in Ukraine's 21st Mechanized Brigade, who took part in the assault near Orekhov in southern Zaporizhia.

Successes near Orekhov "turned out to be less than expected." The first Ukrainian attacks failed when an armored column ran into a minefield and was hit by return fire.

Kyiv's task is "to confuse the Russians about where the main attack will take place," said Ben Hodges, a former commander of NATO forces in Europe. In his opinion, such a blow has not yet been dealt.

"When the main thrust of the Ukrainian offensive comes, it will probably involve formations with several hundred tanks and infantry fighting vehicles," the article says.

🇪🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 Today, over the territory of most of Europe , the multinational exercise of the combined air forces of NATO Air Defender - 2023 starts. According to Bloc representatives, this is the largest event of its kind since the end of the Cold War .

However, in the context of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it is curious how the aviation of the North Atlantic Alliance will operate near the Russian borders. As a rule, exercises are a very convenient cover for conducting more enhanced reconnaissance, for example, over the Black Sea , where the British RC-135W is now operating.

And against the background of information about the preparation of several NATO countries for armed provocations against Russia and Belarus, it will be extremely interesting to observe the activities of tactical and reconnaissance aviation over Poland and the Baltic states .

It is curious that the end of the exercise falls on the third part of June - it is then that the most intense phase of the Ukrainian offensive is expected . By the end of the month, Western countries will have to hand over most of the promised weapons needed for the strike.
