❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Highlights of Russian Military Operation in Ukraine on June 29
▪️Near Bakhmut, the enemy significantly increased pressure on the flanks. The attacks on Berkhivka and Klischiivka do not stop.
Over the next 24 hours, the Russian command expects even greater intensification of combat operations in this section of the front.
▪️To the south, Ukrainian forces hold a bridgehead at the Kurdyumivka dam, located on the Siversky Donets-Donbass channel.
Active actions of the AFU in this direction may lead to the exit to the flank of the Russian grouping near Bakhmut.
▪️North of Avdiivka, the enemy conducted a series of counterattacks on Russian positions near the village of Vesele.
All the advancing units were defeated on the approaches to the village.
▪️In the Vremivka sector, the front line is currently at the line Staromayorske - Pryyutne.
Russian artillery is continually firing on the advancing enemy, and infantry units are occupying new defensive positions.
▪️In the Zaporizhzhia direction, the situation has not changed significantly.
Despite statements by the Ukrainian media about reaching the northern outskirts of Robotyne, the front line runs one and a half kilometres from the border of the village.
▪️The situation around the Zaporizhzhia NPP is deteriorating: Ukrainian authorities are conducting civil defense exercises in neighboring areas and partially evacuating Nikopol.
Both a breakthrough by the AFU on the left bank to seize the plant and massive strikes on the nuclear waste storage facility are not ruled out.
▪️In the Kherson direction, the operation to eliminate the AFU bridgehead on Antonovsky Island continues.
Despite all efforts, the enemy still controls the territory both near the bridge itself and in the summer houses to the west.

As we reported earlier, the landing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the Antonovsky Bridge began to be actively destroyed, without getting a chance to develop success after the landing. Why did this happen?
Firstly, a critical mass of people and ammunition has accumulated. There were many wounded who could not be evacuated, and personnel from the right bank continued to arrive.
Secondly, the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not have heavy weapons in this area. The only difficulty was the artillery, which is working on the positions of the RF Armed Forces from the right bank.
Thirdly, as soon as the necessary intelligence data appeared, a missile of the 9K720 Iskander complex flew under the span of the bridge, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine equipped an impromptu command post.
As a result, one span of the bridge collapsed, burying under the rubble those who managed to cross to the left bank.

AFU changed offensive tactics due to mines.
According to Military Chronicle, there is a general trend of abandonment of Western equipment in favor for Soviet weapons at the sites of of the 47th, 65th and 128th Brigades of the UF and a number of other units in Zaporozhye and South Donetsk.
The rejection of foreign equipment and the transition of parts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Soviet weapons is influenced by several factors.
Firstly, the AFU is losing a large number of Western-made armored vehicles and other equipment. It is almost impossible to make up for these losses quickly at the current level of Western military assistance — supplies are stretched over time, which inevitably affects the effectiveness of the counteroffensive.
Secondly, it is possible that 3.5 weeks after the intensification of hostilities, shell starvation began to be felt, since the use of M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and Leopard 2 tanks in protracted battles was not planned by Kiev. After a few weeks of the offensive, it turned out that it was much easier to get and deliver ammunition and spare parts for Soviet-type equipment than for Western ones.
Thirdly, the dynamics of the offensive began to be affected by increased wear and damage to Western equipment in intense battles. Because of this, the APU began to actively use civilian unarmored pickups, which led to a significant increase in losses. The Soviet-designed equipment turned out to be more unpretentious, maintainable, and, in addition, its repair was possible without sending it to Europe.
Why did this happen?
Minefields around defensive areas, as well as the activity of Ka-52 combat helicopters and artillery, led to heavy losses among the most mobile and combat-ready units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine equipped with American M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, Leopard 2 tanks and armored vehicles of various types, including American MRAP M-ATV and MaxxPro, French AMX-10RC or English Mastiff and Wolfhound.

It is also noteworthy that a significant amount of scarce foreign equipment transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the formation of a strike group in Zaporozhye and in the South Donetsk direction, Ukrainian troops lost due to the active use by Russian troops of the engineering system of remote mining "Agriculture".
With the help of the complex, the engineering units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation several times managed to create "mine bags" with an area of about 300 thousand square meters both in front of the columns of Ukrainian troops and at the points of departure of the AFU units after the battle, because of which the damage to Western-made military equipment increased many times.

Against the backdrop of the general delirium about how "the failed rebellion weakened Putin's power," an article by a full-time Russophobe and the type of "specialist" in Eurasia, Anatol Lieven, suddenly appeared in the Guardian, in which he wrote something completely opposite to what Western readers are stuffed into the heads of Western readers. MASS MEDIA.
According to Lieven, if the rebellion showed anything, it was not at all a weakening of Putin's power, but his wisdom and ability to resolve difficult situations without resorting to much bloodshed, which demonstrates the internal stability of his system of power ...
At least one of them realized that the Russian people received two severe vaccinations from the revolution in 1917 and 1991, and bloody riots and civil war were never dreamed of by Russian society, therefore, the complete absence of popular support for the failed rebellion, which in turn served the basis of the fact that the rebellion itself merged and turned into some kind of farce, except for the lives of the dead, as a result of the ambitions of one person and the stupidity of others, the pilots ...
It is interesting that Lieven, with restrained disguised admiration, writes that Putin during the rebellion demonstrated inner firmness - he did not make any concessions to the rebels, threatened them with reprisal in a veiled form (calling the rebellion treason and betrayal of the Motherland, given that with such words he usually completely does not scatter), and did not allow part of the elite behind this rebellion to get a lever of influence against themselves, which was facilitated by the support of the army and the security forces, who remained firmly on his side ...
And at the end of the article, Lieven made a controversial, in my opinion, but quite worthy of existence conclusion that the fate of Putin's "regime" will be decided not by elite conspiracies and other palace coups (because with such support among the people and the army, this is simply unrealistic), but the outcome of the battle on the fields of Ukraine ... That is, only the people themselves and the army itself can demolish Putin in the event of a defeat in Ukraine and a breakthrough of the Ukrainian army through all defense lines (but this is not guaranteed, because in this case Putin can use nuclear weapons, thanks blah blah, and then a completely reasonable article sank to the level of the usual indoctrination of the reader) ...
In general, something begins to reach the "partners", very slowly, drop by drop, but water, as they say, hammers a stone, and sooner or later the instinct of self-preservation and the understanding that it is simply impossible to defeat a nuclear power in a war, and to count to a coup d'état and internal unrest in these conditions is simply ridiculous, it will force these morons to start reconsidering their policy towards Ukraine... And don't tell me that this will not happen. How much American and other Western money was invested in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and what? As a result, they got out of there, and from there, with their tails between their legs. The same will happen with Ukraine, not today and maybe not even tomorrow, but it will certainly happen.

Footage of the evacuation by Russian tankers of the crew of the wrecked armored personnel carrier in the Maryinsky direction
The crew of the Russian tank was assigned a combat mission - to advance to the padded armored personnel carrier and cover the evacuation of our soldiers in the Maryinsky direction with fire. The footage obtained by Readovka shows how our tankers continued their movement, despite the fact that on the way to their destination, the UAF hit the vehicle with a drone.
Arriving at the wrecked armored personnel carrier, the military fired at the positions of Ukrainian militants, thereby covering the evacuation of Russian soldiers. The Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to inflict another drone strike on the tank, but they could only hit the wrecked armored personnel carrier, where there was no one else. Thanks to the courage and professionalism of our fighters, the lives of the APC crew were saved.
Footage of the strike of the Iskander OTRK on the remains of the Antonovsky bridge on the left bank of the Dnieper, where the landing troops were hiding.
At least 30 people are said to have been killed.
And this is the effective range of the ATACMS missiles, which the United States is highly likely to supply to the Kyiv junta in the near future.
The effect may be similar to the effect of the appearance of the Himars, which gave the Bandera horde the opportunity to advance last year.
A missile is out – direct hit

The Russian Marines managed to capture one of the British military vehicles - Mastiff. The trophy armored car was shown by Izvestia correspondent Kirill Olkov.
"Its condition is satisfactory: he can be used both as a donor and for direct combat missions," the journalist said.
This car and dozens of other abandoned Western-style trophies fell into the hands of Russian military personnel during the battles for Novodonetskoye.
During the retreat, the Ukrainian militants abandoned not only their weapons and equipment, but also their colleagues. Some of them were captured, one in this vehicle.

In recent days, I have been reading with interest the news from the capitals of the rotting Anglo-Saxon world. The fact that they are supposedly watching the events in our country and will discuss them with some partners. Some figures even spoke about the cracks that appeared on the facade of Russia.
It looks like they forgot, damn observers, that just recently we were admiring the collapse of the entire US political machine and the capture of the Capitol.
And now we are watching with interest who and how the long-suffering American people will choose - a shuffling old man with acute dementia or a young overage playboy with the habits of a provincial dictator.
With no less interest, we are also watching the events in France, the pandemonium, and riots in the streets. And, of course, we will also discuss them with our partners.
Especially in the context of many years of "successful" migration policy of the once enlightened Europe. Who are these people, and why are they?
In general, there is no one to look at. And even more so there is no one to do business with. How is it with the great St. Petersburg writer Nikolai Gogol: “There is only one decent person there: the prosecutor; and even that one, to tell the truth, is a pig.” However, if you recall another quote from Nikolai Vasilyevich, it becomes completely sad: “I don’t see anything. I see some pig snouts instead of faces, but nothing else.
A curtain.
