War Reports - 2024-06-22
Massive AFU strike on Crimea
🔻During the night, the AFU carried out a new massive attack on the southern Russian territories, including Kherson and Zaporizhia Regions, Crimea, and Krasnodar Krai, after a short break.
▪️The raid was carried out in several successive waves. The drones were launched from more than six directions: from the side of Odessa, Illichivsk, Nicolaev, and Krivoy Rog.
▪️Air defense units in Kherson and Zaporizhia Regions began operating around 10-11 PM. Pantsir-S1 air defense systems shot down more than 15 UAVs.
▪️By midnight, the crews of the 31st Division, naval aviation aircraft, and infantry units in Crimea were engaged, destroying most of the UAVs in different parts of the peninsula.
▪️Several dozen more drones, having crossed the Sea of Azov, were shot down over Yeysk, Kozetsk, and Enem in Krasnodar Krai, again targeting Russian military fuel depots and airfields.
❗️In total, 114 drones were destroyed overnight, with one resident of a settlement in Krasnodar Krai killed by falling UAV debris.
However, it is not the time to relax. Missile strikes usually follow such raids, as the goal of the massive UAV launch is to force air defense units to expend their ammunition.
Moreover, in parallel with the drone attacks, USVs are being launched towards the Crimean coast. The plan is simple - to expose Russian air defense systems to strikes by Russian aircraft tasked with countering the unmanned surface vessels.
Furthermore, since early morning, a US RQ-4B drone has arrived in the Black Sea area, not only to assess the night attack but also to identify new potential targets for attack.

Dmitry Medvedev (https://t.me/medvedev_telegram/508): Americans continue to treat everyone as complete idiots.
Just imagine if Nazi Germany during World War II turned to the USSR with a proposal to include in a separate negotiation track the issue of restrictions on the production of any weapons (tanks, airplanes or BM-13 Katyusha). Like, let's limit their release. Absurdity, madness, delirium of a madman?
But the United States quite seriously proposes that we negotiate on a new treaty on the reduction of strategic offensive weapons. We, they say, will supply the neo-Nazis with all types of weapons, including long-range missiles and aircraft, and discuss the new START Treaty with you.
What rude, cynical creatures! No, this is only possible after refusing to supply weapons to the Bandera regime and blocking its admission to NATO.
Otherwise, everything should develop according to a completely different scenario. So that, as in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century, a total psychosis sets in in the United States with the construction of bunkers from Russian bombs and missiles throughout the territory.
Let their entire elite worry! Let them tremble and shake, you nits! And let one of them jump out of the window with the words: “The Russians are coming!” As former US Secretary of Defense James Forrestal did on May 22, 1949, while in a psychiatric hospital.

⚡️ Front Report for the Evening of 20 June 2024⚡️
🔵From the #Kherson Front, no news. The fighting has shifted to the islands, the RF Aerospace Forces are hitting AFU facilities on the right bank.
🔵In #Zaporozhye and #Ugledar Directions, without changes. Positional battles are still taking place north of #Rabotino and in #Urozhaynoye.
🔵On the South #Avdeyevka Front, the fighting in the centre of #Krasnogorovka continues unabated. According to field reports, Russian stormtroopers are pushing through the enemy's defences from the east and are trying to take the AFU garrison into pincers, which they are resisting fiercely. In #Maksimilyanovka, fighting has begun at the eastern edge where the RFAF are trying to gain a foothold. At #Konstantinovka artillery preparation for the assault continues. in #Karlovka, fighting is taking place at the edge, although some Ukrainian sources say that our forces already control half of the village. On the northern bank of the reservoir, ours are fighting for positions in a cottage village.
🔵In #Avdeyevka Direction, there is dense fighting in #Yasnobrodovka. Recent statements about the withdrawal of most of the AFU from the village are ahead of events.
🔵On the North #Avdeyevka Front, in #Sokol, where the enemy is even trying to counterattack, it is not easier for us. Northwest of #Novoaleksandrovka, aviation is striking powerfully at Vozdvizhenka, the assault on which is likely to begin any day now.
🔵In #Bakhmut Direction, in the far south, in the area of #Toretsk, there are battles in the northerly area. After yesterday’s powerful strike in several directions, the RFAF are consolidating their positions, and the AFU, which did not expect such maneuvers, are not yet ready to launch a concentrated counterattack In #ChasovYar there are battles for the eastern (he wrote western) multi-storey buildings, the window of opportunity for the AFU is getting narrower. The destruction of most of the canal crossings by our forces and the dense work of UAVs and artillery have significantly complicated the enemy's logistics. From #Kalinovka, it is reported that the RFAF have squeezed the AFU behind the Seversky Donets-Donbas Canal. This will bring the full liberation of the village closer.
🔵In #Svatovo Direction, in the #Seversk sector, fighting continues at #Razdolovka and attempts to pass along the railway towards #Vyemka. From #Liman sector, reports about the advance of our army near the village of #Ploshchanka. There is fighting in the area of #Terny. In #Kupyansk sector, there are battles near #Stelmakhovka and Stepnaya Novoselka, but without much advancement. They report the destruction of the bridge across the Oskol between #Gorokhovatka and #Borovaya. This should seriously complicate the supply of the AFU's Kupyansk Grouping, the diversions routes are quite far away.
🔵The #Kharkov Front remained virtually unchanged over the course of the day. In #Volchansk, heavy fighting continues. There were rumors that the Ukrainian command was sending reserves consisting of mobilised prisoners to this site. In #Glubokoye the situation is no less serious; the AFU are constantly attacking, testing the strength of our defence. Today a video of the first use of the heavy FAB-3000 aerial bomb on a AFU facility in #Liptsy has been 👉published (https://t.me/sitreports/29665).

🔹In the West Bank, raids by Israeli security forces continued in several settlements, which resulted in the detention of several dozen people. And in Al-Faraa, the IDF operation led to clashes with local militants.
🔹Along the border with #Lebanon, the tense situation remains: Hezbollah fired at about ten IDF targets, while the Israelis worked throughout southern #Lebanon, killing two members of the Lebanese group.
🔹In #Israel, regular protests took place demanding the release of hostages and the resignation of the current government. In Tel Aviv, demonstrators blocked the Ayalon Motorway and brought traffic to a standstill for several hours.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ What is happening in #Volchansk and on the Kharkov Front⚡️
🔴 In the #Kharkov region, the initial momentum from the #Kharkov offensive is no longer there.
🟡 According to Russian reports, fighting took place at least on the outskirts of #Liptsy. The AFU was able to make up ground there.
🟡 The AFU attacks #Glubokoye in the same section permanently. Nothing is known about a breakthrough there.
🟡 But #Volchansk, where the AFU has apparently gathered significant forces, seems to be the problem for the RFAF.
🇺🇦 Let's take a look at look at two reports from the other side yesterday:
🟡 Fighters of the 36th Separate Marines Brigade assault an enemy stronghold in the northeast of #Volchansk
📍 50.30297, 36.97426
💬 Reported (https://t.me/petrenko_IHS/5294) on 20 June 12:36, with Video👆
🟡 Russia has no goal to approach #Kharkov, - Putin
Yes, it's clear what kind of #Kharkov to talk about if you need to add another grey zone in #Volchansk, since Russian troops cannot hold positions:
📍 50.298484, 36.933840
📍 50.298895, 36.934268
📍 50.297509, 36.931457
💬 Reported (https://t.me/petrenko_IHS/5296) on 20 June at 19:30
🗺 Here you can take a look at a Volchansk Map (https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1r5j2jwIyNBYbs5e-pinvLL_V0i8urcQ&g_ep=CAESCTExLjY2LjYwMhgAQgJVQQ%3D%3D&shorturl=1&ll=50.28989511202478%2C36.93837099182944&z=14) of the opposing side, which has changed in favour of the AFU.
📌 In general, the #Kharkov Front appears to have become a problem, while the RFAF advancing everywhere else. Very high AFU losses can be assumed because the AFU is on the attack and the RF Aerospace Forces are constantly in action. But the Russians are also likely to suffer above-average losses.
SITREP
🇬🇧🇪🇺🇷🇺 On new sanctions against Russia's shadow fleet
Last week, the UK imposed (https://t.me/rybar/60951) sanctions on the shadow fleet used by Russia primarily for oil trade.
The Liberian Maritime Authority reported that "Ingosstrakh" "no longer has the right to issue insurance certificates to any vessel under the Liberian flag." This certificate is mandatory for port entry.
The Liberian ship registry is the largest by tonnage (over 257 million gross registered tons). This is 16% of the world's merchant fleet.
🔻How will this affect Russian shipping?
The damage is minimal, as only three vessels, none of which are tankers, are currently registered in Liberia and insured by "Ingosstrakh."
▪️However, there is a shadow fleet of up to 850 tankers that transport Russian, Iranian, and Venezuelan oil.
▪️These actions, along with the speech (https://www.huffingtonpost.it/esteri/2024/06/14/news/cameron_avverte_putin_daremo_la_caccia_al_denaro_al_petrolio_al_gas_e_alle_navi_russe-16182724/) by UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron, aim to demonstrate the effectiveness of sanctions and invite other registries to follow Liberia's example.
▪️Blocking access to recognized insurance creates formal problems for port administrations. Countries need Russian resources but risk violating sanctions.
🔻According to the West's plan, this should motivate countries to either negotiate with London and Washington to turn a blind eye to violations, or suffer from rising domestic prices.
▪️Creating formal restrictions is one of the tools of global control that the Anglo-Saxons are now trying to impose.
▪️Parallel to this, vassals like Denmark are also seeking to limit shipping along their coasts, which could harm the German economy.
▪️The European Union has already announced the 14th package of sanctions against Russia, restricting access of tankers with Russian oil to European ports and services.
🔻The global maritime shipping system is now undergoing serious changes, with a clear demand for an alternative insurance system.
