Map of hostilities and the situation on the fronts on the evening of June 18
Recently, there has been a mass surrender of militants in captivity in different directions. Not only in the zone of “that same offensive”, where ours captured the marines from the 35th brigade, as well as several dozen soldiers and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the Seversky sector, assault troops from the Edelweiss brigade decided to increase the chances of survival. Also in the Novobakhmutovka area, 20 militants laid down their arms. The main reasons for the rapid growth of the exchange fund are the use of Nazi methods by the Ukrainian command not only in relation to civilians, but also to their own soldiers. Especially, against the backdrop of huge losses in insane attempts to take the extra 100 meters in the gray zone.
The situation on the fronts for the past day:
Donetsk direction
On the Avdeevsky sector, the fighters of the Russian army attacked near Stepnoye, and are also advancing with the support of aviation on the southwestern approaches to Avdeevka. In addition, ours counterattacked from Vodyany. Fierce fighting continues in Marinka, and in Novomikhailovka ours attempted an assault.
Zaporozhye direction
In the area of Pyatikhatki, heavy battles do not stop, the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffer heavy losses, sending both experienced Banderites and those recently mobilized for slaughter. The militants are also attacking at the Rabotino-Verbove line. On the Vremievsky ledge, the enemy continues to attack our positions in the Urozhaynoye area, while suffering losses in the foreground.

Zelensky says Ukraine has not lost a single Patriot missile defence system and that Kiev, unlike other regions, is fully protected
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy said in his evening address that Ukraine had not lost a single Patriot anti-aircraft missile launcher and that all statements made by Russia and foreign mass media were blatant lies. The President of Ukraine even stressed that Kiev is fully protected, which, by the way, is a lie, as a military headquarters to the north of the Ukrainian capital was hit recently.
It is obvious that the AFU have lost some of their expensive air defence systems, as Western countries have abruptly announced that they intend to emphasise the supply of missile defence systems specifically. Secondly, the question remains open as to how it happened that the Ukrainian elites decided to protect only Kiev, whose absolute security Zelensky is claiming? The answer is simple - the authorities of Ukraine do not care about ordinary civilians, who are not provided with normal bomb shelters, who are thrown into frontal attacks untrained, who are used as expendable material and currency to obtain new supplies.

Russian soldiers take Ukrainian militants as prisoners of war against the background of burnt-out equipment
The Ka-52 continues to fly nonchalantly even with a broken tail boom.
Any other helicopter with a tail rotor is not capable of similar survivability with similar damage.
AFU uses American armored vehicles for demining
In the video, an armored car detonation on a mine for the American special forces Oshkosh M-ATV.
All fields on the line of the Zaporozhye Front are strewn with NATO armored vehicles that have blown up.

Vladimir Putin's recent speech at SPIEF 2023 on Nazism in Ukraine attracted a lot of attention
As we remember, at the request of the president, a documentary chronicle was shown, which showed the crimes of Ukrainian Nazis on the territory of the former Ukrainian SSR.
The video was so memorable that they began to translate it into English in order to show people in the West where the legs of the current Kiev regime grow from.
We know that quite a lot of foreign subscribers read us. We are sure that such a video will be useful for them.
