Kiev forces have suffered more human and material losses while attempting to advance in the sectors of Donetsk, South Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson.
Several Ukrainian attacks were repelled by the Russian military on June 27. Kiev forces were not able to make new gains in any of the four sectors.
The fighting was especially intense in the Bakhmut direction in Donetsk. Videos from this direction show Russian forces destroying multiple Ukrainian armored vehicles with artillery fire and anti-tank guided missiles.
Near Avdeevka in South Donetsk, more armored vehicles of Kiev forces were damaged or destroyed with FPV suicide drones.
Moreover, new photos from Novodonetskoe showed a number of mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles of Kiev forces which were damaged or destroyed during recent battles in the direction.
In addition, Ukrainian attempts to establish a stronghold in the direction of the Antonovsk Bridge in Kherson, which began on June 26, have not succeeded yet. A new video from the area shows that the Russian military is still present near the bridge.
Ukrainian losses were not limited to the front. On June 27, an alleged Russian strike hit a hotel in the Ukrainian-haled town of Kramatorsk in Donetsk. Kiev authorities claimed that the strike caused civilian casualties. However, later it was confirmed that the hotel was being used as a base by military advisors from the United States and other NATO countries.
A service member from the U.S. Army 3rd Ranger Battalion and many other foreigners were spotted at the scene of the strike. The advisors were likely commanding Kiev forces on nearby fronts. Dozens were killed or wounded in the strikes. The exact numbers of casualties are still unclear.
Kiev forces have sustained heavy losses and made very few gains since launching their so-called spring counteroffensive on June 4. Despite this, attacks e will likely continue due to pressure from Kiev’s backers in NATO who paid dozens of billions to finance the counteroffensive.
