Soldiers of the 72nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade showed footage of combat operations at the line of Troitsky and Kotlyarivka and Orekhov (until 2016 - Petrovsky) located to the north and south of it. According to the accompanying caption to the video, to maintain the pace of the offensive, the Russian Armed Forces regularly transfer reserves here. In turn, Russian military blogger Anatoly Radov declares the “almost complete” capture of Novosergeevka north of Troitsky.
Yuri Kotenok talks about Russian attempts to eliminate the “pocket” on the eastern flank of the direction - between Malinovka and Mirolyubovka, as well as to restore positions in the latter.
In the southern Donetsk direction, Russian troops broke through to Komar and launched an offensive at the junction with the Zaporozhye direction .

Z-channel “Informant” wrote that the target in Lutsk was the main department of the state treasury of the Volyn region, as well as military unit No. 43195 of the former 37th Guards Missile Division. In addition, it is known that there was a hit near a hotel where exclusively civilians were accommodated.
Russian pro-government media called the incident a “strike of retaliation,” emphasizing that “virtually all of Ukraine was engulfed in fire.” By “retribution” we mean a response to a series of sabotage attacks on Russian territory, including raids on strategic aviation airfields. However, the Z-public criticized the raid.
Fighterbomber complains that if this was a response to the destruction of strategic bombers, then it “turned out to be no good.” After the official report of the Russian Ministry of Defense about the strikes on Ukraine, which used the wording “in response to the terrorist acts of the Kiev regime,” the author of the channel burst out with a sarcastic post with the assumption that “for the next terrorist attacks,” “the response will be different.” The same thing, but in a softer form, was repeated in the “Informant” channel. Russian military pilot and military blogger Alexei Voevoda argued with them:
“I love how the commentators just go hysterical. Fine. Then I’ll ask, how should we have answered? TNW is wonderful, of course. But there is no political will for this. I repeat. I don’t yet see any options to respond equally to the events of recent days.”
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the destruction the day before ( 1 , 2 ) of seven drones: four over the Bryansk region, two over the Black Sea and one over the Belgorod region. On the night of June 6, 174 UAVs were intercepted over the Bryansk, Rostov, Saratov, Voronezh, Kaluga, Kursk, Oryol, Ryazan, Tula, Belgorod, Tambov regions, the Moscow region and the Crimean Peninsula. It is also stated that three Neptune-MD guided missiles were destroyed over the Black Sea. On the afternoon of June 6, the department reported the destruction of three UAVs: two over the Belgorod region and one over the Kursk region.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported at 4:33 a.m. that ten UAVs had been shot down over the city. In Moscow's South Butovo, several apartments in a high-rise building on Academician Semenov Street burned down . Although the cause of the fire has not been reported, damaged fencing on the balcony of the apartment where the fire started suggests a drone may have fallen there.
An “arrival” was recorded at the airport in Bryansk ( geolocation ). According to Astra sources in the Ministry of Emergency Situations, as a result, the Mi-8 combat helicopter completely burned out , and its ammunition apparently exploded. In addition, the Mi-35 helicopter was damaged.

According to local residents, after the UAV raid, a fire broke out at the Progress plant in Michurinsk in the Tambov region ( produces oil and gas equipment and military products). Acting Governor Evgeniy Pervyshov wrote that “drone debris” fell on “one of the enterprises” and three people were injured.
Acting Governor of the Kursk Region Alexander Khinshtein announced a strike on a residential building in Rylsk: two people were killed and six were injured.
As a result of the undermining of tracks in the Belgorod region, a diesel locomotive derailed, said Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, noting the absence of injuries. In addition, with the help of a UAV, a strike was carried out on the court building in Belgorod, where Gladkov was at that moment. A driver passing by was injured.
According to the calculations of CIT volunteers, in the 24 hours from 20:00 on June 4 to 20:00 on June 5, at least nine civilians were killed in Russia and Ukraine, including in the occupied territories, and another 66 were injured.
The BBC Russian Service and Mediazona, with the help of a team of volunteers, identified the names of 111,387 people who died during the full-scale war in Ukraine on the Russian side. Over the past two-week period, 1,762 names have been added to the list. It is noted that 2025 is becoming a record year for lawsuits in courts demanding that military personnel be declared dead or missing .
The Ukrainian state project “I Want to Find” reports that they have received 100,324 applications to search for missing Russian servicemen since January 2024. The largest number of applications came from Moscow and the Moscow region (5473), however, when calculated per 100 thousand population, the leaders are the Trans-Baikal Territory, Tuva and Chuvashia.

Researcher Janis Kluge notes a consistent decline in the rate of recruitment of new contract soldiers into the RF Armed Forces based on data from regional budgets . According to his estimates, at the beginning of 2025 it was possible to recruit 1.4 thousand people per day, but now it is only 900 people per day.
