In the Donetsk direction, the enemy made 11 artillery attacks from 155mm artillery.

On Gorlovsky 26 attacks from MLRS, artillery 152mm.

Having fired 256 units of various ammunition.

Under enemy fire were areas of five settlements of the Republic: Gorlovka (Central City, Kalininsky, Nikitovsky districts), Golmovsky, Shirokaya Balka, the capital of Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky, Kievsky, Kirovsky districts), Makeevka (Chervonogvardeysky district).

Over the past day, information was received about the death of a woman and the wounding of a man in the Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka.

Ten residential buildings were damaged in Kievsky and Kuibyshevsky districts of Donetsk, Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka. Damage to civil infrastructure facilities was not recorded.

A previous 54 artillery attacks were recorded from the side of the VFU per day.

22:00 Ukrainian troops fired 14 rockets from the MLRS in Horlivka, reported representation of DPR at the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of Issues Related to War Crimes of Ukraine (JCCC).

21:03 Kherson direction. According to the latest data, the enemy has sharply increased activity in the area of the Antonovsky bridge.

Also, the enemy concentrated additional artillery systems on the right bank, there is an increase in the number of artillery attack of the left bank of the Dnieper, in some areas the artillery attack increased from 1-2 times a day to 10.

Also, behind enemy lines, there is a significant increase in the movement of support vehicles, so, only in the daytime, from the beginning of the week, at least six columns of trucks and other equipment proceeded to the area of the settlement of Snegirevka, Davydov Brod, earlier in this area of such activity not seen during the day.

19:20 Militants of the Kyiv regime fired 20 rockets from the MLRS at Gorlovka - DPR JCCC.

19:05 A civilian died during shelling of Tokmak by the Nazis of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

At about 17:45, the Nazis of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shelled the city of Tokmak, Zaporozhye region. Presumably, the fire was fired from the MLRS "HIMARS". As a result of the shelling, the foundation of a residential nine-story building was damaged. Two of the three rockets fired were shot down.

18:29 "Alligators" continue to work in the sky over the NWO zone. During the next flight, the crew of the Ka-52 helicopter launched missiles at the discovered fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine -video.

18:21 Video of unsuccessful attack of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Zaporozhye direction. Bottom line: one T-64BV tank and two International MaxxPro armored vehicles were destroyed.

17:31 Seversk direction situation as of June 22, 2023:

The Airborne Forces continue to clear out strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Serebryansky forest. For two days of fighting, the paratroopers managed to occupy several enemy positions and move deep into the forest.

Despite the low motivation of Ukrainian formations in this area, Russian paratroopers have to deal with heavy artillery fire on newly occupied positions. Problems are added by the lack of consolidation groups - Russian attack aircraft do not always have time to build on the success achieved due to the need to “hold positions” until the reserves approach.

In addition to the need to create a buffer zone around Kremennaya and regain positions lost last fall, Russian paratroopers are aimed at reaching the northern bank of the Seversky Donets and storming Grigorovka on the opposite bank.

Russian units have been continuing fighting on the eastern outskirts of Belogorovka for several months now: despite the work of aviation and artillery, which forced the enemy to leave their positions in the quarry, they have not yet been able to advance further than half of the industrial zone.

In the event of a breakthrough by Russian paratroopers from the north and simultaneous actions of a group advancing from Lisichansk, the scenario of the start of full-fledged hostilities on the Seversky sector of the front is quite likely - and this, in turn, will reduce the load on the north of the Soledar direction.


16:27 Statement of head of the press center of the Vostok group:

In the South-Donetsk direction, the advanced units of the Vostok grouping of forces inflicted fire damage on accumulations of equipment and manpower of the enemy, preparing for an offensive in the direction of Makarovka. Tanks, armored fighting vehicles and manpower of the nationalists were destroyed.

Army aviation forces destroyed a tank, infantry fighting vehicles, armored combat vehicles and manpower in the areas of Neskuchny, Novodonetsk and south of Velikaya Novoselka.

15:57 One of the hot spots, or rather not hot ones, but those where the Armed Forces of Ukraine will try to break through our defenses, may be the Donetsk direction. This was stated by the Telegram channel "Older than Edda". It can be either Bakhmut or directly the vicinity of the Donetsk agglomeration. It is in this direction that enemy echelons with ammunition and military equipment are heading.

“Kyiv still has enough strength, meat assaults and hundreds of pieces of lost equipment have not used up the resource that the enemy has been accumulating since the winter. On the other hand, with the planning that we are seeing now, such offensive actions are more likely to play into our hands. High activity with heavy losses of the advancing side is better than many months of trench fuss, which also takes lives, the difference is only in the time lag, ”the channel’s publication says.

#9  Yesterday:
Prigozhin released today a new interview going over the current state of affairs as well as looking back at the events preceding the start of the "SMO". In this first bit, he explains that the Donbas was plundered by Russians since 2014 and the 2022 war began for reasons very different from those advertised to the public.

In continuation of his interview, Prigozhin lists two reasons for the start of the SMO: a) personal ambitions of Shoygu and b) the desire of Russia's ruling clan, who were not satisfied with the Donbas, to appoint Medvedchuk as the president of Ukraine and divide its assets between each other for plundering. According to Prigozhin, denazification and demilitarisation make no sense since Azov wouldn't be exchanged for Medvedchuk otherwise.
