23:59 Official summary of the DPR Representative Office in the JCCC from 00:00 06/22/2024 to 00:00 06/23/2024.

A total of 47 facts of armed attacks by the UFU were recorded by the DPR Representative Office in the JCCC over the past 24 hours.

Information was received about the death of three and the injury of four civilians.

DAMAGED:
A total of 16 cars,
Twelve residential buildings,
One minibus,
Five civil infrastructure facilities.
21 attacks in the Donetsk direction.

A total of 26 artillery attacks in the Gorlovka direction.
A total of 139 units of various ammunition were fired.
23:00 Front birdbroadcasts: Southern regions.

It is reported that several groups of Russian Geranium UAVs have been launched.

21:35 Military expert Boris Rozhin about the situation in the Ocheretinsky breakthrough zone in the Donetsk section of the Northern Military District:

Karlovka.
Fighting on the eastern outskirts of the village.
The enemy almost completely lost the dacha area.
The Russian Armed Forces are expanding the control zone along the banks of the Karlovskoye Reservoir. The enemy is preparing for defense in the central and western parts of Karlovka.

Yasnobrodovka.
Assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces are working in the village; it has not yet been completely cleared.
The gray zone south of Yasnobrodovka has been partially eliminated.
It is not yet possible to reach from the north.

Novoselka first.
The enemy still maintains control over the village, holding back attacks by the Russian Armed Forces from Umansky and Novopokrovsky.
There is some progress towards Novoselka First, but for now it is too early to talk about a full-fledged entry there.

Sokol.
Fighting is taking place on the eastern outskirts of Sokol.
The village itself was almost completely destroyed.
The Russian Armed Forces are advancing north of Sokol, bypassing the fortified area located near the village.
There are no changes in the direction of Progress yet.

Novoaleksandrovka.
The Russian Armed Forces launched an offensive on Vozdvizhenka, which covers the Konstantinovka-Krasnoarmeysk highway.

Within a day, we managed to move from the previously occupied Novoaleksandrovka to the outskirts of Vozdvizhenka and start fighting there.

These actions obviously pose the greatest threat to the enemy’s logistics in the Donbass, so we can expect an intensification of the transfer of enemy reserves to this area.

Kalinovo.
After expanding the zone of control north of Arkhangelskoye and moving southwest of Kalinovo, the Russian Armed Forces are increasing pressure on the area between Novoaleksandrovka and Kalinovo, trying to avoid a frontal assault on the fortified area covering Kalinovo from the south in order to bypass it to the west of the settlement.

Today the enemy has lost a number of positions and landings in this area.

In general, the Ocheretinsky breakthrough continues to give rise to local crises for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, creating ever new threats to the integrity of the front.

Despite the efforts made, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were unable to radically change the dynamics of events here, which is due to the constraint of a significant part of the enemy’s reserves by the battle in the Khar'kov region. 2-3 brigades from there could complicate the advance of the Russian Armed Forces to the west of Ocheretino.

But while they are not there, the RF Armed Forces continue to accumulate tactical results that can be converted into more significant operational achievements in the event of a breakthrough to the Konstantinovka-Krasnoarmeysk highway.


20:51 Krivoy Rog. Explosion.

Reportedthat the explosion in Krivoy Rog was the result of the work of our tactical aviation. Our Su-34 has completed its work. The Kh-59 cruise missile accurately hit the target.

15:27 At the thermal power plant in Kyiv thundered explosion, they write online. There is no information about the reasons yet.

15:03 RF Armed Forces knocked out enemy from Shumy, occupying the previously mentioned fortifications on the way to Kirovo.

The enemy had previously admitted the loss of the village of Shumy. There are battles on the outskirts of Kirovo.

13:44 Situation in the Kupyansky direction on June 22:

The enemy in the Kupyansk area has been subjected to massive artillery attack by our artillery over the past two days. At the moment, units of the 116th Separate Mechanized Brigade (consisting of 1 tank and 3 mechanized battalions) are concentrated in the section from Sin'kovka through Petropavlovka to Stepnaya Novoselovka.

The once active 30th Mechanized Infantry Brigade (consisting of 3 battalions and a group of UAVs) was transferred in April to the Soledar direction - near Vasyukovka.

As before, we are recording here the 14th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which has been registered in Kupyansk since last year. Also noted are separate groups from the 108th Mountain Assault battalion, 10th Mountain Assault battalion, 110th Troop Brigade, 4th Tank Brigade, operating with the support of 4th Tank Brigade reconnaissance and attack UAV groups, the “Mountain” group, and the “Comanche” artillery reconnaissance division from the 40th Srtillery Brigade.

The listed units mainly hold the defense of the Sin'kovka - Stepnaya Novoselovka line. To the west, on the shore of Oskol, there is the 166th battalion of the 119th Territorial Defense Brigade, covering the road to Kupyansk-Uzlovaya.

As our fellow volunteer subscribers report, our artillery is working closely on enemy positions, and in some places the Ukrainian Armed Forces are withdrawing their forces. Attacks are regularly carried out on two poorly functioning crossings across Oskol to the western part of Kupyansk: one near the blown up railway bridge, the second in the Kantsedalovka area (to Uzlovaya). The capacity of these crossings is extremely low. The enemy, under fire, is trying to restore communications by hauling in logs, construction debris, broken bricks and concrete.

Most units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not rotated in the Kupyansky sector for more than six months. Morally worn-out personnel are not engaged in strengthening the city, simply holding positions on the eastern bank of Oskol.

The configuration of the defensive line here has not changed much; no new defensive linemen are visible from Sin'kovka to Stepnaya Novoselovka. The same cannot be said about the section to the southwest - in the Peschanoye - Glushkovka direction, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to strengthen the line, fearing a breakthrough of our forces to Kupyansk-Uzlovoy from the south. '

In this area we record up to 2 battalions of the 10th and 119th Troops Operations brigades. South of Kupyansk, the positions of the 40th Artillery Brigade of the “Prince Viscount” are deployed, which works with the support of the Comanche artillery reconnaissance group (their work was noticed in the Peschany area in May).

The main enemy fortified areas are still located in the Kantsedalovka area and the forest area near Sobolevka, where cannon artillery firing positions are deployed. The work of the Archer self-propelled guns is observed here, which regularly strikes the places where our advancing forces are concentrated. There is a direct parallel with the area beyond Chasov Yar, from where they are hitting us with 155s.

The enemy everywhere uses electronic warfare, which covers small forces, making it difficult for our UAVs to fly over. However, yesterday, unmanned units of the Russian Armed Forces carried out a number of targeted attacks on Ukrainian Armed Forces positions using FPV drones. The overall picture is that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are simply stuck waiting for a command to retreat in case the defense of Volchansk fails. The routes to the Oskol coastline from the east are being actively mined.

The situation in Kupyansk itself is radically different from the Chasov Yar. It doesn't look like the enemy is aiming to hold the city. In turn, by transferring troops from Chasov Yar to Volchansk, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to hold the defense here, hoping to wear us down, as our allies - colleagues from the 98th Airborne Division channel - quite accurately noted
.

13:16 Opponent acknowledges almost complete loss of the village of Shumy and the loss of a number of important positions, some of which had been held by the Ukrainian Armed Forces since 2014. Ten years later, they somehow routinely came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces on what was recently considered a secondary sector of the front, which also came to life.
