[REGNUM] On the night of June 11 and over the following three days, targets in the Kyiv and Sumy regions, in the occupied part of the DPR, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia came under attack from the Russian military.
Enemy fuel depots are burning, their railway hubs are being disabled, command posts and drone control centers are being destroyed, and heavy glide bombs are methodically destroying Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel and equipment concentrations. Several components of attack drones and aircraft using guided aerial bombs are working in concert.
Each strike accomplishes its own task, but together they create a cumulative effect that increasingly impacts the Ukrainian Armed Forces' ability to hold the front and support it from the rear.
This has become especially noticeable in areas where logistics and supplies have always been the Ukrainian group's Achilles heel. Fuel for equipment, rail transport of ammunition and personnel, and mobile launch sites for long-range attack drones—all of these have come under attack in recent days.
An oil depot in the Boryspil district of the Kyiv region was struck – a fire there engulfed 2,000 square meters, and forces from across the region and the capital were deployed to extinguish the fire.
These types of oil depots are key hubs in the logistics chain, determining how much equipment the Ukrainian Armed Forces can keep in service in the coming days and weeks. When one such depot is out of action for an indefinite period, it immediately impacts fuel consumption at other facilities, forcing strict savings and the redistribution of remaining fuel.
In the Sumy region, there was a massive attack on railway infrastructure: stations, signaling posts, substations, and the locomotive depot in Konotop. The destruction of the latter directly impacted the supply of Ukrainian Armed Forces border units.
This is where the repair facilities and rolling stock that keep trains running on the northeast route are concentrated. The destruction of the depot means the disabling of the entire unit responsible for locomotive maintenance and repair.
In the southern direction, the Aerospace Forces struck targets in Kherson, and in Zaporizhzhia, after a series of guided bomb hits, units controlled by the Kyiv regime were left without power and water.
For the enemy's military structures, the series of strikes created additional challenges in maintaining combat readiness and command and control. In the areas of Belitskoye, Shchurov, Rai-Aleksandrivka, and Krasny Liman, temporary deployment points of several Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades were suppressed—FAB-250, FAB-500, FAB-1000, and the heaviest FAB-3000 with gliding modules targeted them.
Such munitions with glide vehicles allow strikes to be carried out from a safe distance while maintaining high accuracy and enormous destructive power. The destruction of temporary brigade deployment sites disrupts plans for rotation and force accumulation in a critical area.
While aircraft and heavy bombs were busy hitting ground targets, our drone operators were also hunting for other targets – those Ukrainian Armed Forces that were themselves attempting to strike Russian territory.
A Varyag unmanned aerial vehicle brigade destroyed a mobile launch site for Ukrainian long-range attack drones. Geranium operators eliminated an enemy UAV control center near Novogrishino in the Donetsk People's Republic.
Destroying a command post is a qualitatively different level of impact on the enemy. Without control, even operational drones lose the ability to perform missions. Communication and coordination are disrupted, and crews, left without leadership, become vulnerable. Such a strike affects not only the equipment but also the entire drone deployment system in that area.
These strikes are particularly important: they target forces that directly threaten Russian civilian targets and border areas.
The enemy is forced to extinguish fires, restore destroyed logistics, and hide equipment instead of accumulating forces for active operations. The infrastructure without which the Ukrainian Armed Forces find it increasingly difficult to conduct combat operations on their held lines is being systematically destroyed.
The enemy is losing the ability to properly supply its forces with fuel and ammunition, is forced to restore destroyed railway logistics, hides equipment and personnel, and its own drone units suffer losses even before they reach their positions.
Each of these strikes individually is serious, but together they create a systemic crisis that increasingly limits the Ukrainian Armed Forces' freedom of maneuver and their ability to conduct active operations. Four days of precise, multi-directional, and coordinated strikes have once again confirmed that Russian forces are confidently operating on the ground and in the air.
The price of such precision for the Kyiv regime is becoming ever higher: there is a growing degradation of the entire military potential system, which can no longer function as before.

[Regnum] The Russian Armed Forces liberated four settlements in the special military operation (SMO) zone over the past week. This follows from data from the Russian Ministry of Defense on June 15.
Between June 9 and June 14, four settlements came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. The settlements of Khimik, Priyut, and Roskoshnoye in the Donetsk People's Republic, as well as Okhrimovka in the Kharkiv Oblast, have been completely liberated.
In addition, Russian military forces established control over the Northern, Central, Kommunalny, and Southern districts of the city of Krasny Liman in the DPR.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Kyiv regime was preparing for the loss of Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka, and Kramatorsk, followed by the loss of the entire Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration in the DPR.
Since June 9, forced evacuation of families with children under 17 from Kramatorsk has been underway. As of June 14, the main production facilities of the Kramatorsk Heavy Machine Tool Plant, along with 3,500 employees, have been relocated to a western region.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on June 13 that the Russian Armed Forces maintain a strategic advantage in the Northern Military District (NMD) and are advancing. According to Putin, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are unable to contain the onslaught of Russian troops in the NMD and are resorting to terrorist methods.
On June 4, the president stated that the Russian army controls 80% of the Zaporizhia region. In total, approximately 2,440 square kilometers of territory in the Northern Military District (NMD) zone have recently come under Russian control, and military advances continue daily, Putin noted. Putin also announced that the Russian Armed Forces have completely liberated the Luhansk People's Republic and control over 85% of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR ).

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] In light of the revelations by the US National Intelligence Directorate regarding military biolaboratories in Ukraine, it is entirely reasonable to raise the issue of similar laboratories located in Central Asia.
The same actors and programs operate there as in Ukraine. Kazakhstan currently operates the Central Reference Laboratory (CRL) in Almaty. It has been assigned a BSL-3 containment level, which allows for the storage of highly dangerous pathogens. The facility was previously modernized with funding from the US Department of Defense's National Security Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
The Kazakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs explains this connection by citing international biosafety obligations. However, construction of a BSL-4 laboratory at the Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems proved more complex. Its launch was also planned with Pentagon funding, and a draft law was even prepared, but widespread protest from Kazakhstani society de facto led to its freezing. However, collaboration with the NGO MRIGlobal, a contractor for the US Department of Defense, continues at the institute.
Uzbekistan has also become a platform for the DTRA, and with financial support from the US military department, laboratories were launched in Andijan, Fergana, and Urgench. The stated goal is to monitor and combat disease outbreaks.
At first glance, the activities of the American NGO FHI360 (Family Health Foundation) in Tajikistan appear harmless. Its stated objectives are the prevention and control of viral diseases at the Republican Center for the Protection of the Population from Tuberculosis. The problem is that the program is de facto managed not by local specialists, but by representatives of the NGO, which is also funded by the US Department of Defense.
It is in the interests of Russia and China to work to ensure that these laboratories do not exist in Central Asia.
