Don's Weekly, 10 June 2024: Part 2

(…continued from Part 1…)

Avdiivka

Russia was able to advance 500 meters to the outskirts of Novooleksandrivka but they were kept out of the village itself. West of Soloviove, the Russians and Ukrainians are both fighting to advance without either gaining ground. Russia was unable to advance at any other location and many vehicles making their way to Soloviove and Novooleksandrivka were knocked out 6-10 km before they reached the front lines.

A BTR and Bradley joust on the only road in Sokil. Some of the Russian infantry fall off the BTR, and the BTR itself ends up smoking. The Bradley seems to be in good shape but the video ends before the combat does…https://x.com/EjShahid/status/1799114307239837742/video/3

I’ve seen plenty of videos of motorcycle assaults failing. I haven’t seen any videos of successes. These motorcyclists were heading to Sokil…https://x.com/bayraktar_1love/status/1799183003488248168

Marinka

From Krasnohorivka, to Marinka, to Novomykhailivka, to 5 km west of Solodke, there was intense fighting all along this sector with heavy Russian bombardments. Russia did make a 500 meter gain near Solodke but nowhere else, and they lost a lot of vehicles trying to advance. One of the factors helping out is the presence of ATGMs that have long been absent.

Zaporizhzhia

There were no further Russian advances through Staromaiorske and Urozhaine but Russia lost at least 8 more vehicles. In Robotyne the lines were static, as well, and no vehicles were recorded as lost for either side in that sector. While there were moments of intense bombardment, the intensity of fighting at both locations seems to be at a lower level.

To the east of Urozhaine, a Russian assault is stopped by drones…https://x.com/EjShahid/status/1798662126338298239

Kherson

For over two weeks, Ukrainian infantry planted their flag on a water tower on the eastern edge of Kozachi Laheri. Russians have tried to remove it and died in the attempt. Russia’s last recorded attempt to take Nestryha Island was about two weeks ago. The shelling and airstrikes on the right bank are still very heavy.

A Russian position with some number of personnel is hit by GMLRS. The number of casualties wasn’t listed but the Russians showed the effects afterwards…https://x.com/NOELreports/status/1799138729195610454

Given the accuracy of the bomb dropped on a Russian position by a Ukrainian drone, this is probably the best outcome for the Russians…https://x.com/666_mancer/status/1799178080340349402

Krynky used to be heavily bombed. The Kherson region is still heavily bombed but Krynky itself hasn’t been bombed for a month. There’s nothing left to bomb…https://t.me/atompobeda/3816
