Commenter NP332 (10 hours ago): 

&quot;Every Ukrainian man, woman and child owes you a debt of gratitude Alexander.  Why? Because you are spreading the truth about this unwinnable suicidal war that the Ukrainian government has forced upon its people.  Although I stand with Russia on principle in this Special Military Operation, it is a tragedy that the Ukrainian military is being used as expendable cannon fodder in such an inhumane way and by spreading the truth I believe you are helping to bring this conflict to an end.  You are one of the few handful of individuals that I have been listening to and you&#039;ve earned my respect brother.  I salute your efforts.&quot;


Commenter Daniel Hammersley (11 hours ago):

&quot;They have retreated from Severodontesk, to avoid encirclement, and now find themselves in a larger encirclement situation. Again, too little too late thanks to &quot;Stand &#038; Die&quot; orders. Great coverage Alexander! Thank you once again for clarity, sobriety, and wisdom here.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Intel Slava says: 

Captured French self-propelled guns &quot;Caesar&quot; were taken to &quot;Uralvagonzavod&quot;

The well-known French lawyer and politician Régis de Castelnau said that Russia had seized two undamaged French-made Caeser self-propelled guns in Ukraine and was now studying them at Uralvagonzavod.

“Another achievement for Macron. Two French CAESAR self-propelled guns were captured by the Russians unharmed. Currently, they are at the Uralvagonzavod plant for reverse engineering. Thanks Macron. We pay for it,” Castelnau writes.


Tweets from “Foreign Policy” journalist:

According to him, an “unnamed” Ukrainian military official told him that if US supplied Grey Eagle drones they will get shot down by Russian AD. He remarked that they will suffer a similar fate to Turkish TB-2 drones describing them as “almost useless”

					<description><![CDATA[Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation in Ukraine (June 19, 2022)

▫️Offensive towards Severodonetsk is being successfully developed. Units of People&#039;s Militia of the Lugansk People&#039;s Republic supported by the Russian Federation Armed Forces have liberated the settlement of Metyolkino.

▫️Several units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are abandoning the operation area due to low moral and psychological condition, as well as lack of munitions and logistic supply. Thus, a plattoon of the 1st company of the 1st battalion from the 57th Mechanised Infantry Brigade that had been defending near Lisichansk left heavy armament and abandoned its position.

▫️Russian Federation Armed Forces continue launching attacks at military facilities located in Ukraine.

?At 12.30 PM, Kalibr high-precision long-distance sea-based missiles were launched at a command post of the Ukrainian troops near the village of Shirokaya Dacha (Dnepropetrovsk region) at the moment when there was being held a working meeting of the commanders of Aleksandriya operational-strategic group.

▫️The attack has resulted in eliminating more than 50 generals and officers of the AFU, including those of the General Staff, the Kakhovka group, airborne assault troops and units that operate towards Nikolayev and Zaporozhye.

▫️At 08.20 AM, Kalibr high-precision long-distance missiles destroyed 10 M777 155-mm howitzers and up to 20 armoured combat vehicles delivered by the West to the Kiev regime over the past 10 days that were located in a transformer plant in Nikolayev.

?At 07.20 AM, high-precision air-based missiles neutralised an echelon of personnel, armament and military equipment of the 1st battalion from the 14th Independent Mechanised Brigade that arrived from Vladimir-Volynskiy to the operation area in Donbass. 

▫️The attack at the disembarkment point near Gubinikha railway station (Dnepropetrovsk region) has resulted in eliminating more than 100 servicemen of the AFU, 30 tanks and armoured combat vehicles.

▫️At 02.05 AM, the AFU 56th Mechanised Infantry Brigade manpower and military equipment have been neutralised near Selidovo (Donetsk People&#039;s Republic). The attack has resulted in the elimination of up to 20 militants, including foreign mercenaries that formed part of the abovementioned brigade, as well as 2 combat vehicles equipped with Grad multiple rocket-launching system, 10 infantry combat vehicles and armoured personnel carriers.

▫️7 Grad system plattoons and 1 artillery plattoon have been neutralised at their firing positions towards Donetsk within counter-battery warfare.

✈️?Operational-tactical and army aviation have destroyed 4 artillery missile and munitions depots near Maksimilyanovka, Avdeyevka, Zelyonoye Pole and Georgiyevka (Donetsk People&#039;s Republic), as well as 1 launching ramp of Buk-M1 air defence missile system near Seversk (Lugansk People&#039;s Republic).

?Missile troops and artillery have neutralised 22 command posts, 48 artillery units at their firing positions, the AFU manpower and military equipment in 123 areas.

▫️An attack launched by Iskander operational-tactical missile system at Kharkov tank reparation plant has resulted in destroying 2 launching ramps of Uragan multiple rocket-launching system.

▫️Ukrainian Armed Forces suffer considerable losses caused by counter-battery warfare. A serviceman from the 22nd Mechanised Infantry Brigade of the AFU captured near Peremoga has told that the artillery units involved in operation towards Kharkov had lost 380 servicemen, including 90 who resulted dead over the past 10 days.

Attacks launched by aviation, missile troops and artillery over the past 24 hours have resulted in eliminating more than 400 nationalists, 10 tanks and other armoured combat vehicles, 11 field artillery mounts, 11 launching ramps of multiple rocket-launching systems and 28 special vehicles.

?Russian air defence troops have shot down 1 Su-25 airplane of the Ukrainian Air Force near Chervonnaya Dolina (Nikolayev region).

▫️In addition, 8 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles have been shot down near Zavody, Chervonniy Shakhtyor, Dementiyevka, Glubokoye (Kharkov region), Krinitsa (Kherson region), Popasnaya (Lugansk People&#039;s Republic) and near the Snake Island.

▫️3 Tochka-U tactical missiles have been intercepted near Novozvanovka and Novoaleksandrovka (Lugansk People&#039;s Republic), 2 projectiles launched by Uragan multiple rocket-launching system near Bolshiye Prokhody (Kharkov region) and Chervonnaya Dolina (Nikolayev region).

?In total, 207 airplanes and 132 helicopters, 1,249 unmanned aerial vehicles, 344 anti-aircraft missile systems, 3,683 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 562 combat vehicles equipped with multiple rocket-launching systems, 2,043 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 3,715 units of special military equipment have been destroyed during the special military operation.

❗️Big losses of the AFU in manpower force the Ukrainian command to involve unprepared personnel in combats, despite their lack of necessary skills in using armament and military equipment. 

▫️At 01.30 PM, 2 Su-25 assault fighters of the Ukrainian Air Force launched an attack at the positions of its units near Shirokoye (Dnepropetrovsk region).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of the best daily analysis (non-partisan):

&quot;Ukraine. Military Summary And Analysis 15.06.2022&quot;

My comment: The Russian army and its allies, despite its relatively small manpower, have meanwhile managed to encircle the Ukrainian army in the Donbass around many small cauldrons (see video), which will soon be completely closed (some already are today). We can expect many thousands of Ukrainian prisoners of war in this area in the coming weeks. At the same time, the Ukrainians are being crushed at a casualty rate of about 1000 men/day.

Please watch out for the man in the green shirt. By the way, Ukraine is now working on plans to conscript women as well because they are running out of (male) soldiers. Too many are already fallen or wounded. Unfortunately, you cannot replace the lost officers in this way.

					<description><![CDATA[Cotour, some insights for you and other reader of this blog (taken from https://rattibha.com/thread/1526793674809561088):

&quot;KIMBERLY KAGAN runs The Study of War—

—who is married to FRED KAGAN, of the American Enterprise Institute, taught at West Point—

—who is brother of ROBERT KAGAN, of the Brookings Institute—

—who is husband of VICTORIA NULAND, at the State Department.

Who are these people?


FRED KAGAN was part of the neo-con Project for the New American Century. At West Point, he helped create a culture of American military arrogance and hubris. He convinced W. Bush to carry out the “surge” in Iraq, and to NOT negotiate with other Middle-Eastern powers.

ROBERT KAGAN is in the words of Andrew Bacevich “the chief neoconservative foreign-policy theorist”. He has not worked in government since the &#039;90&#039;s—but all his acolytes have gone on to prominent jobs at State. He&#039;s a kingmaker in the US national security establishment.

VICTORIA NULAND, the current Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, engineered the Maidan Coup in 2014. She is the driving force at State Dept. for Russian regime change. She is the visible face of her family&#039;s outsized and nefarious influence on US foreign policy.

Cancers often have many tendrils—vampire squids have many tentacles to wrap your face and suck you dry. We on Twitter see the [deleted] lies of the ISW—but we have to understand that this is just one tendril of a well-oiled war machine. Look up these names—you&#039;ll see.&quot;]]></description>
