For Backman....

The building of the Embassy of the United Bolshevik States in Kiev...

The Ministry of Defence announced the failure of a large-scale offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 06.04.2023.

The Russian Ministry of Defence announced an attempt at a large-scale offensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the morning of June 4.

MOSCOW, June 5 - RIA Novosti. On the morning of June 4, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a large-scale offensive in five sectors of the front in the Yuzhnodonets direction, said the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defence, Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov.

"On the morning of June 4, the enemy launched a large-scale offensive in five sectors of the front in the South Donetsk direction by introducing into battle the 23rd and 31st mechanized brigades from the strategic reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the support of other military units and subunits," he said.

In total, six mechanized and two tank battalions were involved in the attack. The goal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was to break through the Russian defense on the most vulnerable, according to Kyiv, sector of the front. "The enemy did not achieve his objectives, It had no success," Konashenkov stressed.

As a result of skillful and competent actions of the Vostok group, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to more than 250 personnel, 16 tanks, 3 infantry fighting vehicles, 21 armored fighting vehicles.

The commander of the united group of troops, the chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Valery Gerasimov, during this period was at one of the advanced command posts in this direction, Konashenkov added.

The imminent counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was repeatedly announced both in Kyiv and in the West. One of the strike directions is called the Zaporozhye region with the aim of reaching the coast of the Sea of ​​​​Azov in order to cut the land corridor to the Crimea.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia  Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Moscow carefully monitors any statements about the upcoming counteroffensive and takes them into account when planning a special operation.

"Those who are about to die, we salute you." What a waste of life by those evil NATO/Kiev scumbags. Russia needs to crush this utterly decisively and hopefully trigger a revolt when kiev calls for another assault. Still 250 is just recon in force. Lets see 200 + vehicles and 20K + men. If not its just a skirmish.

The recon in force is a signal for follow up forces

They probed a "weak" sector of the front and got wrecked

This shit is gonna be a bloodbath

Soon to dead slobs are Russians I assume, considering what happened next year and who invented every single piece of modern technology afterwards? (as in not USSR)

741 employees to what... process passports ? Nope. Flatten the whole motherf*cking thing. The complete destruction of the Ukraine and the death of hundreds of thousands of ppl was planned inside that building.

I doubt his presence was accidental, the  Russians knew about attack. IMHO Gerasimov wanted to see firsthand how preparations for nazi magic offensive  were carried out.




Nazi uav downed by Russians. Nazi runs  precisely SS Das Reich aka Azov,  were blurred (guess Russian law not  to show nazi symbols)  - Rybar in telegram has a sharp pic

All that calls about creating Volsstuhrm are simply hilarious, considering the situation.

Those DRGs are made of highly trained, skilled, and motivated elements supported by tons of mercs.
In some cases, those are simply special forces units.
Yeah, a construction worker with AKM will be a clear match for them, especially if a local veterinarian will support him. If a plumber with his friend postman will joining, the team will be unbeatable.
There is nothing better than pushing a couple of untrained civilians with automatic weapons in their hands against a special forces operators team.
What can go wrong! They will have cool spells & skills, and can always respawn, right?

All that yapping is so stupid, that stands out of a box.

Not so futuristic as it turns out. It would only be 5 years later in Sep 1943 that the Luftwaffe took out the Italian flagship, the battleship Roma, with Fritz-X glide bombs. She took 2x hits and sank after her magazines exploded. Her sister ship Italia was also hit but survived.

Seems too big for just a recon. Some UA sources report that it first was a recon element, then battalion joined in and got repulsed. Not sure where is logic in than and I doubt that recon by fire works on the flat terrain where you are litterally in a preshot grid. 

 And yes, it looks like there will be bloodbath after bloodbath, there are so much going at the moment. Also, desinfo on both sides, hard to believe anything

Counter-offensive running smoothly.

Tankers

Destruction of Ukrainian armored vehicles yesterday in Zaporozhye direction 

This footage alone can confirm the destruction of at least 9 armored vehicles, reportedly Western supplied vehicles.

Follow up, two preliminary assessments about the first day and night of the "offensive"

Seems like the recco part of the counter offensive is on going.

Main part of the ukro troops not yet sent in.

Looking how badly it goes for the recco teams the main troops will very likely try to flee very fast. Tens of vehicles being destroyed right now.

Ka-52 are destroying them like flies.

Holly shit, this thing is getting surreal, again ...
Yesterday, multiple Russian TG channels started a panic about "Ukrainian offensive".
24h passed, some fog perished, and it turned out - again - that the official Russian MOD briefings are the best sources of info.
Not only by today, we can watch multiple materials made as battlefield recon, but even counting the Ukro pulverized.

They have been decimated, again.
In most of the cases, haven't seen the enemy.
Artillery just beat the shit out of them, and considering the accuracy, they have been welcomed with precision guided rounds.
Russkie just await them.
Poor hohols won't even notice what hit them.
They really don't care about losing a whole battalion for nothing other than stage some fakes.
Only by counting, we can clearly seen they have irretrievably lost at least 20 pcs of heavy equipment ...
They are throwing ad hoc assembled companies only to make them perish in artillery strikes like fukin' flies in the fire.
It is unfuckinbelievable.

They are not even ready to make a counter offensive. It's nato who push them to do it. Why ? Nobody knows. It's clear for everyone including themselves they can't push back the russians but nato generals are thirsty, they want blood everywhere.

The Duran speculated that the USA wants them to launch the offensive and fail so they can blame it on Ukraine saying that they gave it all the required equipment so its Ukraines fault and not their own. It would give the USA an excuse to back out.

Very interesting reco by force. That’s the whole motorised battalion on a single road, stopped by artillery fire (guessing here) then eliminated from the sky. Honestly, Belograd intrusions are not as suicidal in comparison. Did they even reach Russian lines? Imagine, wasting battalions just to test how fast Russians shoot at the same location that has thousands of artillery craters or how fast Russian VKS responds. KA-52 might ignore dismounted infantry and light up MRAPs and tanks, but then again, what now? Wait for bounding fire MLRS on the treeline? That is so stupid, so rushed, can’t believe NATO greenlights this

Yeah, that is why I call it some kind of a grotesque.
They are losing gear&men for nothing other than stage some commercials.
This whole war is surreal, as we watch a fukin tiktok army.

Belgorod incursion were done to try to make the russians shift some forces from the south toward the east.

They have to test somehow the russian defences before attacking.
