Since the beginning of the day, the Russian invaders have been most active in the Pokrovsky direction. At the same time, a high intensity of offensive actions of the occupiers is observed in the Toretsk area. The total number of combat encounters increased to 64.
The situation at the front is discussed in the summary of the General Staff.
Units of the Defense Forces respond harshly to the assault and offensive actions of the invaders, destroy their infantry and equipment.
The border towns of Sumy and Chernihiv regions continue to suffer from insidious artillery shelling from the territory of the Russian Federation.

"In just one day, more than 1,100 mortar and artillery attacks took place in this direction. And more than 260 attacks from various types of weapons "flew" into the Chasiv Yar area. This indicates that the majority of enemy attacks fall on the city of Chasiv Yar itself. Also, all assaults , there were 9 of them in that direction, the enemy is carrying out in order to "take" this city," the spokesman notes.
In the past day alone, enemy aircraft operated over Chasovoy Yar 11 times.

The President emphasized that since the beginning of June alone, the Russians have used more than 2,400 guided bombs against Ukraine, about 700 of them against the Kharkiv region - both against the positions of the Defense Forces and against cities and communities.
“Ukraine needs the necessary forces and means to destroy carriers of these bombs, in particular Russian military aircraft where they exist. I am grateful to all partners, grateful to America for a strong decision that helped us stabilize the situation in the border area of the Kharkov region - we got the opportunity destroy Russian missile launchers near the border and concentrations of Russian occupiers. Such decisions must be continued. A significant reduction in Russian missile terror against Kharkov and the region proves that it is absolutely possible to protect our cities and our communities from Russian bombs," Zelensky added.
21:44 The Financial Times writes that Ukraine, through third countries, has already received Serbian ammunition worth 800 million euros.

“Since the beginning of the day, the number of military clashes along the entire front line has increased to 99. In the Pokrovsky and Toretsky directions, the enemy continues to increase the pace of offensive actions, using significant forces for this.

“Since the beginning of the day, in the Kupyansky direction, enemy troops have already stormed the positions of Ukrainian defenders 12 times in the areas of Sinkovka, Stepnoy Novoselovka, Andreevka, Myasozharovka, Stelmakhovka and Peschany. Ukrainian defenders are staunchly holding the defense. Nine attempts by the invaders to move forward have been repulsed. Near Stelmakhovka and Sinkovka, three continue clashes.

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.

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.

[Regnum] While the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) conducts covert operations in other countries, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is working to strengthen international security, said SVR head Sergei Naryshkin.
“In my opinion, the fundamental difference is the fact that the Central Intelligence Agency is not an intelligence organization in the true sense. It was created to conduct secret operations,” Naryshkin noted on the Russia-24 TV channel.
The head of the SVR added that the CIA’s activities were sometimes “very uncivilized.” As an example, Naryshkin cited the provision of support to undemocratic regimes, and sometimes to “outright terrorists.”
At the same time, he emphasized that the SVR’s task is to identify and prevent threats to Russia and its citizens, as well as strengthening international stability and security.
As Regnum reported, on February 25, The New York Times, citing former and current Ukrainian, American and European officials, reported that over the past eight years, a network of secret CIA bases has appeared in Ukraine near its border with Russia. It was noted that we are talking about creating at least 12 such facilities. According to the publication, the opening of secret bases has turned Ukraine into one of the most important intelligence bases for confronting Russia.
The article stated that the CIA was monitoring the movements of the Russian army and providing Kyiv with information for launching missile strikes. The intelligence service also helps Ukraine develop spy networks that allegedly operate in Russia and throughout Europe.
In October 2023, The Washington Post wrote that since 2015, the US Central Intelligence Agency has allocated tens of millions of dollars to turn Ukrainian intelligence services into an ally against Russia. According to journalists, the CIA maintains a significant presence in Ukraine.
Kiev, June 22, 2024, 19:32 - IA Regnum. A key battle will begin in the special operation zone in August-September, after which Russia and Ukraine can begin the negotiation process, ex-Colonel of the SBU Oleg Starikov said on June 22 on the Politeka YouTube channel.
“There will be some kind of military event in August-September. I call this a general battle, which will lead to escalation or de-escalation and, perhaps, will become the basis for the start of negotiations,” he suggested.
To counter the attacks of Russian guided bombs that are destructive to the fortified areas of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the expert added, the West is preparing an air group.
In March, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the launch of mass production of FAB-3000 aerial bombs. According to Russian military expert Alexei Leonkov, the three-ton aerial bomb has such destructive power that it can be used to storm particularly fortified areas. He also added that new technologies will turn it into practically a precision weapon.
Starikov previously compared the power of high-explosive bombs used by the Russian army with tactical nuclear weapons. He also pointed out that equipping the three-ton FAB-3000 with a universal planning and correction module could completely suppress the moral and psychological state of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As Regnum reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the United States and its satellites are doing everything to prolong the conflict in Ukraine, openly ignoring peace initiatives and directly stating that their goal is to inflict strategic defeat on Russia. According to him, the West is constantly raising the degree of escalation, hoping that Russia will get scared at a certain moment.
The head of state is confident in Russia's victory. As has always been the case in history, in years of testing, Russian society demonstrates cohesion, the unity of the army and the people, and loyalty to the values of mutual assistance and solidarity bequeathed by its ancestors, Putin emphasized.
Kiev, June 23, 2024, 00:04 - IA Regnum. Almost every day, more than a hundred men of military age try to illegally leave Ukraine and hide in Europe. The head of the department for organizing border control of the state border service, Igor Matviychuk, spoke about this,the UNIAN agency reported.
According to Matviychuk, these 100 people include those whom the border guards of neighboring countries manage to detain: Poland, Slovakia (Hungary does not provide such information).
Fugitive evaders are trying to leave Ukraine illegally through checkpoints and unequipped sections of the border.
Ukrainians who are caught are fined, and those who organize their escape are subject to criminal liability.
Fines for mobilization evaders range from 17 thousand to 25.5 thousand hryvnia (from 420 to 630 dollars).
As Regnum reported, Ukrainian border guards detained 47 people - the men tried to illegally leave the country so as not to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Five cars were discovered near the village of Obzhiloe in the Odessa region - four minibuses and an escort car. They contained fugitives and seven organizers of the crossing abroad. For the crossing of each man, the organizers charge from 5 to 10 thousand dollars.
In Ukraine, many of the male population do not leave their homes, trying to avoid forced mobilization. They rely on food delivery and carry emergency warning equipment in case they are forcibly seized by military officials.
The law on strengthening mobilization in Ukraine came into force on May 18. According to the document, the procedure for mobilization has been tightened, including penalties for evasion. At the same time, police officers, assistants to deputies, as well as owners of strategic enterprises were exempted from mobilization. Disabled people of all groups will be able to count on a deferment of mobilization. However, all of them will have to undergo a medical examination at least once a year to re-certify their disabled status.

NYT: tens of thousands of Ukrainians are hiding from mobilization
Washington, June 22, 2024, 05:41 - IA Regnum. Not wanting to take part in the conflict, tens of thousands of Ukrainian men are hiding from mobilization, the American newspaper The New York Times wrote.
The article states that it is difficult to establish the exact number of Ukrainians hiding from the authorities. But in large cities such as Kyiv and Lviv, the number of participants in groups on social networks where people are warned about mobilization reaches “tens of thousands.”
Ukrainian men are afraid of dying during a military conflict. The authorities are sending poorly trained military personnel to the front to make up for combat losses, the authors continued.
According to military analysts, due to the lack of appropriate training, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not able to hold their positions.
