#1  This war will be won by Ukraine INSIDE Russia.

They are going to devastate the ability of Russians to have a normal life and it's getting worse daily.

Eventually the siloviki will murder Putin over this war. No Russian leader can survive losing a war, especially one that was not necessary.

Ukrainian Armed Forces missile strike on Crimea

Two days after a massive drone raid on Crimea and Sevastopol, the enemy, as expected, attacked the peninsula with ATACMS missiles with a cluster warhead.

Five missiles were fired from the Nikolaev region in the direction of Sevastopol, and all of them were shot down in different parts of the coastal strip, starting from Cossack Bay and ending with Lyubimovka.

But this time the successful work of the air defense was overshadowed by civilian casualties due to the fall of submunitions from missiles. According to official data, the number of victims on the beach in Uchkuevka reached 124 people.

Of these, 27 victims were children relaxing on the beach with their parents. Three people died due to falling rocket debris, including two minor children.

Unfortunately, the enemy has used similar tactics more than once, launching missiles directly over crowded areas of ordinary people. This was observed in Belgorod, Donetsk, and other Russian cities.

Moreover, once again symbolism can be traced in the actions of Ukrainian formations and their curators. Today, June 23, marks one of the most important Orthodox holidays - Holy Trinity Day.

The night before, according to some reports, up to 15 drones were spotted in the western part of Crimea, some of which were shot down. Once again, during the attack, an American RQ-4B drone was in the air, which again raises the question of the advisability of destroying Western aircraft that are targeting the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian territories and residents.

17:01 At 16.15 Moscow time suppressed an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using aircraft-type UAVs against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation.

14:43 Around 12.15 by the Kyiv regime was committed terrorist attack on the civilian infrastructure of the city of Sevastopol with US-supplied ATACMS operational-tactical missiles equipped with cluster warheads.

While repelling a terrorist attack by air defense forces on duty, four American ATACMS missiles were shot down.

Another missile, as a result of the impact of air defense systems at the final stage, deviated from the flight path and detonated the warhead in the air over the city territory.

As a result of falling fragments of cluster submunitions, more than 20 civilians, including children, were injured.

13:58 Assault detachments of the 36th and 37th Motorized Rifle brigades, with high-quality artillery support from the 19th Tank Regiment, are advancing near Torskoye -map.

12:49 Around 11.15 Moscow time suppressed an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack on targets on the territory of the Russian Federation using the Czech-made Vampire multiple launch rocket system.

Offensive actions of Russian troops continue in the Alexander-Kalinovsky direction.

In the Ozaryanovka-Druzhba section, according to some reports, Russian troops began to dislodge the enemy from forward positions on the eastern bank of the Seversky-Donets-Donbass canal.

There are or were already several forest belts under enemy control, occupied about a year ago

From the Mayorsk checkpoint and the Mayorskaya railway station in the direction of Druzhba, according to preliminary information, there is also progress along the railway and the T-05-18 highway.

According to some sources, advanced detachments reached Kuibysheva (Polevaya) and Zheleznodorozhnaya (Zaliznichnaya) streets in Druzhba, as well as Kalinova and Individual in Kirovo (Pivnichnoe). However, there is no confirming footage of objective control yet, although the progress looks quite logical.

Moreover, to the south the village of Shumy came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, but the status of several landings to the north remains unclear.

There are also battles between Shirokaya Balka and Novgorodsky (New York), however, here too the scale of the advance of the Russian Armed Forces is not yet clear, and reports of advances towards Novgorodsky from Novoselovka have not yet appeared.

In the area between Novobakhmutovka and Novokalinovo, some sources reported advances by the Russian Armed Forces, but so far this does not correspond to reality.

Along the N-20 highway there are several large enemy fortified areas with heavily mined forefields, and assault operations here require serious preparation.

Fighting continues north of Arkhangelskoye and Novokalinovo.

Russian assault groups are advancing through landings in the area of ??the administrative borders of the Grodovskaya and Ilyinovskaya territorial communities, penetrating the enemy’s defenses between Zeleny Pole and Kalinovo.
