Die Unken-Rufe bei den #Vatnik Accounts auf Telegram und Twitter mit „Die Ukrainische 🇺🇦 Offensive bei #Zaporizhia / Süd-#Donetzk sei gescheitert“ ist herrlich. Es sind übrigens die gleichen Accounts, die das bei #Kharkiv & #Kherson auch geschrieben haben. Ein paar Fakten:

Unabhängig davon, dass die Front-Karten sowohl der 🇺🇦 als auch 🇷🇺 Seite einen stetigen Fortschritt beim Geländegewinn der AFU🇺🇦 zeigen, gibt es noch ein paar andere Faktoren die man bei diesen Accounts nicht zu lesen bekommt:

1. AFU🇺🇦 hat bis zu 35. Brigaden (ganz genau weiß man es nicht) für die Offensive bereit. 11 davon sind mit westlichem Material ausgestattet. — bisher sind ca. 3-4 davon bei den Offensiven Operationen an der Front aktiv. — damit dürfte das Verhältnis einigermaßen klar werden.

2/ The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainian forces conducted successful offensive operations in the direction of the Novodanylivka-Robotyne line (6km to 15km south of Orikhiv).
3/ A Russian milblogger claimed that Ukrainian forces made unspecified progress near Robotyne and captured new positions near Dorozhnyanka (35km southeast of Orikhiv).

1/ Je partage cette analyse de @witte_sergei depuis le début de l’offensive des FAU. Car dans cette opération, il faut chercher à imaginer quel est l’objectif stratégique atteignable à la mesure des possibilités réelles et non fantasmées des FAU. Objectif : Energodar? Pourquoi ?
2/ Pour des raisons politiques : la centrale d’´#Energodar constitue un objectif à forte valeur ajoutée que les ukrainiens ont bombardé (pour tenter sa démilitarisation) mais ont surtout attaqué environ 5 fois par des assauts amphibies qui ont échoué.
3/ la prise de cet objectif ou son encerclement constituerait un élément majeur de négociation tout en étant extrêmement difficile à reprendre de vive force par les russes en raison de la sensibilité de l’installation.

1. Tuesday again saw the most intense fighting in Ukraine south of #VelykaNovosilka. Each day the Ukrainian forces appear to apply lessons learned and employ combined arms tactics with advanced Kamikaze drone units to attack Russian infantry and armor units.
2. Russia has fought a trench war for years. Modern mechanized units make these tactics all but obsolete. Ukrainian forces are supported by heavy artillery and drones. Today when the Russians attempted to stop the Ukrainian advance with their Thermobaric tube artillery
3. the inferior thermobaric rocket range made it easy for the Ukrainian counter-battery artillery to target the thermobaric artillery and put it out of action. I've noticed that Ukraine is now deploying full drone attack units along several fronts.
1. Monday, Ukraine made steady progress on the #southernfront south of #VelykaNovosilka. Earlier gains are being consolidated across a wide front as Russian forces continue to fall back under risk of encirclement. Russia destroyed another dam on the Mokri Yaly river to slow the
2. Ukrainian force advance but there is no evidence that the Ukrainian offensive will be stalled.
In areas to the south, Ukraine is conducting strikes on Russian command and operational centers striking the operational command center for the entire region in #Henichesk.
In areas to the south, Ukraine is conducting strikes on Russian command and operational centers striking the operational command center for the entire region in #Henichesk.
3. Other strikes are reported in #Melitopol, #Tokmak and #Molochne. One of these strikes has reportedly killed the commander of the Russian 35th Army, Major General #Goryachev.
#Ukrainian forces conducted ground attacks near the administrative border of #Donetsk & #Zaporizhia oblasts and made gains as of June 12.
Geolocated footage shows Ukrainian forces advanced to positions west of Novodonetske (11km SE of Velyka Novosilka). isw.pub/UkrWar061223

2/ #Ukrainian sources confirmed on June 12 that Ukrainian forces liberated areas south and SW of Velyka Novosilka, including Levadne (20km SW), Novodarivka (15km SW), Neskuchne (immediately south), Storozheve (3km south), Blahodatne (3km south), and Makarivka (5km south).
3/ These statements refute Russian claims that the 127th Motorized Rifle Division (5th Combined Arms Army, Eastern Military District) recaptured Makarivka as well as claims that Novodarivka is still contested as of June 12. isw.pub/UkrWar061223
1. The updated @projectowlosint map shows Ukraine has confirmed the taking of the earlier reported settlements south of #VelykaNovosika shown in yellow and continues to press at the #southernfront. In an attempt to slow the Ukrainian advance the Russians
2. destroyed the #MokriYaly River dam circled above that will flood settlements to the north. The Russians likely hope that this will slow the Ukrainian advance by making it difficult for Ukraine to cross the river but it also puts the Russia forces on the east bank in a
3. difficult position because they can't be reinforced and will likely be forced to withdraw. Ukraine appears to be slowly forcing the Russians to fall back and permit the Ukrainian to even the line of contact north of the dam. This is all occurring with no indication that
NEW: Ukrainian forces conducted #counteroffensive operations in at least three areas of the front and made territorial gains on June 10 & 11. Geolocated footage & Russian sources indicated that UKR forces liberated multiple settlements in western #Donetsk. isw.pub/UkrWar061123
2/ Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar reported that Ukrainian forces are conducting offensive operations in the #Bakhmut area, and Russian sources reported continued Ukrainian ground attacks on Bakhmut’s northern and southern flanks.
3/ Geolocated footage and Russian sources indicated that Ukrainian forces liberated multiple settlements during continued ground attacks south, southwest, and southeast of Velyka Novosilka in western #Donetsk Oblast. isw.pub/UkrWar061123
Russian sources claimed that #Ukraine's armed forces have tactical advantages in conducting assaults at night due to Western-provided equipment with superior night optics systems. isw.pub/UkrWar061023
2/ A prominent Russian milblogger claimed that Ukrainian forces are launching assaults at night because Western-provided equipment provides Ukrainian forces with “excellent” night vision optics.
3/ #Zaporizhia Oblast occupation official Vladimir Rogov also claimed that night assaults allow Ukrainian forces to more effectively use Western-provided equipment.
NEW: Ukrainian forces conducted #counteroffensive operations in at least four areas of the front on June 10.

3/ Ukrainian Eastern Group of Forces Spokesperson Colonel Serhiy Cherevaty noted that Ukrainian forces advanced up to 1,400m in unspecified areas of the #Bakhmut front, and Russian milbloggers reported Ukrainian advances northwest and northeast of Bakhmut. isw.pub/UkrWar061023
1. I'm not going to speculate on whether the action along the contact line in #Zaporizhia is a prelude to the expected Ukrainian offensive but what it currently appears to be is a training op using real bullets. Ukraine is for the first time employing the skills and tactics that
2. have gained as a result of training and addition of new equipment now deployed to be used on Russian trench positions. Combined arms tactics defeats trench warfare tactics. We're seeing Ukrainian forces advance on a position in a variety of tank-supported infantry vehicles and
3. attack Russian forces in the trenches with dismounted infantry advancing under the cover of Humvee mounted M2 50cals. It's not the way you would do it if you had US Abrams tanks but it's working. There are reports Leopards have been hit but it appears that damage was mostly

Ukrainian attacks in western #Zaporizhia on June 8 do not represent the full extent of Ukrainian capabilities in the current #counteroffensive. isw.pub/UkrWar060823
2/ #Ukraine appears to have committed only a portion of the large reserve of forces available for counteroffensive operations.
3/ It is additionally noteworthy that the Russian Southern Military District Forces deployed in this particular area are likely to be a higher quality force grouping than Russia has elsewhere in theater...
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) responded to the Ukrainian attack in western #Zaporizhia Oblast with an uncharacteristic degree of coherency and praised Southern Military District elements for repelling the attack and regaining lost positions. isw.pub/UkrWar060823
2/ The overall Russian response to the attack, both among milbloggers and the MoD, was notably coherent and relatively consistent with the available visual evidence, which may suggest that Russian forces were not surprised and reacted in a controlled and militarily sound manner.
3/ As ISW has previously assessed, the Russian information space reacts with a high degree of chaos and incoherence when taken by surprise by battlefield developments that do not allow the propaganda apparatus to develop a clear line.
Ukrainian forces conducted a limited but still significant attack in western #Zaporizhia Oblast on the night of June 7 to 8. Russian forces apparently defended against this attack in a doctrinally sound manner and had reportedly regained their initial positions as of June 8.🧵⬇️
2/ Russian sources began reporting late at night on June 7 that elements of Ukrainian brigades that have recently been equipped with Western kit launched an attack southwest of Orikhiv in western #Zaporizhia Oblast. isw.pub/UkrWar060823
3/ Several Russian milbloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces attacked along the Mala Tokmachka-Polohy line with the aim of breaking through the Russian defensive line between Robotyne and Verbove (both about 15km southeast of Orikhiv). isw.pub/UkrWar060823
NEW: #Ukraine has conducted #counteroffensive operations with differential outcomes in at least three sectors of the front as part of wider counteroffensive efforts that have been unfolding since Sunday, June 4.

2/ Ukrainian officials signaled that Ukrainian forces have transitioned from defensive to offensive operations in the #Bakhmut sector and are making gains of between 200 meters and nearly two kilometers on the flanks of the city.
3/ Ukrainian forces have made tactical gains during limited localized counterattacks in western #Donetsk Oblast near the #Donetsk-#Zaporizhia Oblast border since June 4.
The Ukrainian #counteroffensive has begun.
Activity throughout #Ukraine is consistent with a variety of indicators that Ukrainian counteroffensive operations are underway across the theater.

2/ Ukrainian officials have long signaled that there will not be an announcement that the #counteroffensive has begun.
3/ The #counteroffensive won’t likely unfold as a single grand operation. It will likely consist of many undertakings at numerous locations of varying size and intensity over many weeks.
