The Armed Forces of Ukraine were hiding the front near Kharkov with strong reserves - and the "military commissar" even spoke about the Ukrainian counterattack. In fact, attacks in different areas continue the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

Where does the Armed Forces of Ukraine have to be especially difficult? Board Map for June 3

The Russian offensive on the entire front - from Kharkov to the village of Workers in the Zaporizhzhya region - continues. But his pace in recent weeks has decreased. This is partly due to the fact that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Armed Forces) involved all its operational reserves in defense. With their help, a new durable Kharkov front was created and the situation was stabilized to the west of Avdeevka. However, in other areas - near the city of the clock near Bakhmut and in the east of the Kharkov region between Kupyansk and Svatovo - there is not enough forces for sustainable defense.

Probably, the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces (in those months, while Ukraine will form new brigades from newly mobilized citizens) and will continue to “play stains” - to transfer “fire brigades” from several elite brigades from one direction to another. So, under Kharkov, probably, part of the forces of the Marine Corps (MP) of Ukraine (from the composition of three MP brigades), which fought on bridgeheads on the left bank of the Dnieper for several months, went. Such a transfer of significant forces even frightened the Russian “military commissars”, who perceived it as the preparation of the counterattack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to discard Russian troops from under Kharkov back to the Russian Federation.

In 2024, we updated the format of our regular reports on the main events at the front. Each new summary is now available at a separate link. The archive of materials from the beginning of the war and until January 10, 2024 can be studied here . The previous update of the summary is here .

Kharkov

• The Russian offensive in two directions-directly to the northern outskirts of Kharkov and to the city of Volchansk 50 kilometers to the northeast-finally stopped. Units of the Armed Forces (Sun) of the Russian Federation still cannot capture even the northern half of Volchansk. They failed to force the Wolch River, which divides the city into two equal halves. There is no significant advance in the area of ​​the northern outskirts of Kharkov - the village of Liptsi.
• The command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to introduce reserves into battle: for the first time from the beginning of the offensive in early May, tank units appeared (before that only individual tanks were recorded in the video, and mainly small assault groups supported by artillery participated in the attacks).
• However, the counterattack of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, about which the Russian “military commissars” wrote, has not yet happened: only private counterattacks, and also apply artillery blows and attack the rear groups of the RF Armed Forces thrown to Kharkov. Including strikes are subjected to troops on the Russian side of the border. The United States allowed the use of rockets for Ukraine, the HIMARS rack -wireflack rocket systems for such strikes (on the Russian territory), so such attacks can soon become even more effective.
• Separate parts of the Corps of the Marine Corps of Ukraine appeared on the Kharkov front, which had so far fought on the bridgehead in the roofs on the left bank of the Dnieper for several months and on the islands in the river delta. Their transfer to Kharkov was filed by Ukraine as defiantly as possible. So, Robert Brovdi, a very media commander of the Drones division of Ptahi Madyar from the corps, wrote down a stand -up against the background of entry to Liptsi. In the area of ​​Volchansk, units of the Marine Corps on technology, which is only in service with the MP, also appeared . It is not entirely clear whether this indicates the transfer of the entire corps under the Kharkov, its small part (the APU command and before that collected reserves for the new front, mostly not from entire brigades, but of their individual units) or is generally intentional misinformation.
• In any case, while the counterattack of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces is not talking towards the border. The Russian group in this direction has not yet involved the main forces (in total, two army corps and units of the 6th combined arms army of the Leningrad Military District are also involved in the offensive; perhaps additional units from the Moscow Military District). And Ukraine needs reserves in order to prepare for the second phase of the enemy.
• The transfer of Ukrainian forces from the Dnieper can be beneficial for the Russian command. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation also have large forces on the left bank of the river, including elite ones. If the Armed Forces of Ukraine stop landing operations in the Kherson region, these forces can be involved in other directions.

Other directions

• Russian troops continue to attempt to push the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces over the Canal of the Seversky Donets - Donbass at the Yar Chasov. Ukrainian forces (after at the end of winter, a powerful 3rd assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was transferred from this area to save the Avdeevka garrison) are clearly insufficient to stop the offensive of the RF Armed Forces. The latter continue the attacks on two microdistricts of the YARS CHARS on the eastern shore of the channel (Canal and Kalinovka). Russian troops were already seen on the western bank of the canal, where the center of this important city is located.

• To the south of the Chesov, Yara Armed Forces are also trying to push the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the channel. After the ruins of Klescheevka were captured in May, for which fierce battles were going on for many months, Russian troops continued attacks to the north and south of this village. Probably, in the coming weeks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have to go beyond the channel in order to prevent the creation of stable bridgeheads of the RF Armed Forces on its West Coast. If you do not stop the Russian advance to the north and south of the center of the Chesov Yara, the city may be lost.
• The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue local attacks west of Avdeevka. However, the reserves of the Armed Forces introduced into battle (in particular, the 110th mechanized brigade, which used to defend Avdeevka itself, and then was sent to rest) allowed to stabilize the situation.

• After several weeks of battles, Russian troops occupied the city of Krasnogorovka (north of Maryinka). The offensive on Ugled by the seized Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continues in the spring of Novomikhailovka. Probably, in the summer of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation they will try to develop both of these offenses into one blow in the direction of the important logistics center of the Armed Forces - the city of Kurakhovo. However, such an ambitious operation is possible only in the case of the transfer of additional reserves.
• The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the offensive in the Zaporizhzhya region and on its border with the Donetsk region. In the last direction (in the Valley of the River Wet Yaly south of the Great Novoselka), Russian troops attack the Old Mayor (successful) and productive (with large losses and without significant advancement).
• In the north - near Kupyansky and Svatovo - the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, continued advancement on a wide front. Probably, soon the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces will have to send a “fire brigade” to this direction in order to stop the Russian offensive (the 3rd assault brigade has already been sent there). The problem is that there are fewer “firefighters” at his disposal.
