The offensive potential of the Ukrainian troops after the attacks of June 4-6 and incurred the loss has not faded. On June 7, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continued probing the defense of the RF Armed Forces in various sectors of the front. Details of the operational situation and the situation that took place on that day, as well as his conclusions, were told to the public in the evening on his Telegram channel by Russian military commander Alexander Sladkov.
The journalist noted that the Ukrainian command failed to realize its plan, that is, to break through the front. During the day, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, actively operating in several directions, suffered heavy losses in manpower and technology during intense battles with the RF Armed Forces.
In combat terms, they are actively behaving, but in informational terms, they are not. Well, that means they are being cautious: they say that nothing of the kind is happening, and footage of their beaten equipment and footage of their unsuccessful actions taken from UAVs are scattered all over the world. They say: no, no, nothing like that happens. In fact, they pressed on the Zaporozhye direction towards Melitopol, and there ours successfully fought back
- said the military commander.
For example, in the Orekhov-Pologi sector alone, 5 units of enemy armored vehicles were destroyed, including 3 tanks (1 more tank was damaged) and 40 military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Near Kamenka and Lobkov, three attacks of Ukrainian troops were repulsed. The enemy even seemed to manage to cling to the edge of the Lobkove for some time, but he was squeezed out of there.
Under Ugledar, the fighters of the OBTF "Kaskad" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR, "like 28 Panfilov's men", did not allow the enemy to pass, destroying a large number of equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the same time, it was noticed that the Ukrainian command began to saturate the areas of interest to them in terms of combat, throwing into the attack units that were little covered by equipment.
In turn, south of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), a difficult situation developed. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to take the heights from Kleshcheevka. The units of the RF Armed Forces are still holding out. The heights are necessary for the Ukrainian command for fire control of Artemivsk.
At the same time, the military commander cannot understand why the Ukrainian command needed to stretch the front at the expense of the Belgorod region of Russia. In strategic terms, this does not solve anything. Moreover, all enemy DRGs operating in the border areas received a worthy rebuff.
As for Marinka. Well, I don’t know, they are already saying that they seem to have taken the settlement. I've heard such conversations for a long time, for more than a year. And there you first need to go around to the left and right in order to take Marinka into the ring. And this is difficult to do, everyone had the opportunity to prove themselves in the field, storm the Ukrainian opornika and strengthen themselves in them. Well, it doesn't work. Honestly, I must admit, while the fighting is going on inside the village, but it is necessary to surround it

The military commissar also noted that the RF Armed Forces do not stop activities aimed at encircling the AFU grouping in Avdiivka.
We remind you that on the night of June 8, the Ukrainian command must good remember.
