Destroyed equipment of Kyiv’s forces
It’s interesting to note that the Kyiv regime tries to deny the reality and pretends that nothing is happening in its official statements. It seems that they will officially announce any active actions only if they achieve at least some notable tactical successes. Apparently, this has not happened so far.
Reports claim that the June 5 clashes continued with even larger scale. The Kyiv regime threw even more forces into the battle.
Intense fighting is ongoing in Zaporozhye region. Kyiv’s forces also tried to advance in the sectors of Novodarovka, Zolotaya Niva-Novodonetskoe, Novoselovka and “Shaitanka” River. Dozens of units of military equipment are involved in the attack. Pro-Russian sources claim that 4 Ukrainian battle tanks were destroyed.
Allegedly, Kyiv’s units were able to reach the vicinity of Novodonetskoe where fighting is ongoing. Russian artillery and air power strike the advancing units of the Kyiv regime there.
The situation is developing.
