Situation On Frontline In Evening Of June 7, 2023. NATO-Trained Cannon…
As of the second half of June 7, the Kyiv regime continues its attempts to break the defense of the Russians. The main clashes are ongoing in South Donetsk sector and Zaporozhye region. However, Kyiv’s forces carry out a large number of attacks at different parts of the frontline in an attempt to overwhelm Russian defenses.
Finally, the strategy of “human waves” that MSM has faked to blame the Russian military became the reality. The little issue for MSM is that these “human waves” are NATO-trained and use NATO military equipment. Nonetheless, it is unlikely that Western propagandists will notice them. Some outlets like WSJ already claimed that ‘mighty’ forces of the Kyiv regime made large gains 10-15km deep in several directions. The only they need is to find these large gains on the map.
Strikes on equipment of Kyiv’s forces in South Donetsk sector:
As of now, Kyiv’s forces attacked the Russians in the areas of Stepovoe-Pyatihatki, Gulajpole-Mezhirich, Olgovskoe-Levadnoe, Novopol-Novodarovka. These attacks resulted in no progress. Clashes were also reported near Lobkovoe settlement.
Abandoned battle tanks of Kyiv’s forces:
At the same time, pro-Kiyv units were able to make a tactical advance west of Neskuchnoe and reached a height near Storojevoe. Fighting is ongoing there.
At the same time, Kyiv units tried to attack in the area of Kremennaya in the Lugansk People’s Republic. At least two dozens of troops supported by battle tanks suffered casualties and retreated.

Russian forces purge NATO-trained and NATO-equipped formations:
Russian strikes on positions of the Kyiv regime took place in the areas of Vesyoloye, Belogorovka, Krasnoye, Bogdanovka, Avdeevka and Maryinka.
The Russian side also commented on the recent explosion of the Tolyatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline close to Masyutovka in Kharkov Region. The statement says that it was carried out by a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group.
As a result of this terrorist act, there were victims among the civilian population. People received the necessary medical assistance.
Currently, ammonia residues were drained from the Ukrainian territory through the damaged sections of the pipeline.
There were no casualties among Russian servicemen.
The situation shows no signs of de-escalation. So, the Kyiv regime will push forward until it has enough manpower and equipment. Zelensky & Co likely need to show at least some results on the battlefield to their sponsors because without a regular and large support what’s left of the state of Ukraine just cannot exist.
