📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Northeastern Sector (Kupyansk to Kreminna)
- Russian forces made marginal advances northeast of Kupyansk on June 10th, according to geolocated footage. However, the location of the footage suggests the Russians have long held this area, so the claim of an "advance" is questionable.
- Russian forces reportedly suppressed four Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups in the Novomunksa, Sinkivka, Kuzemivka and Stelmakhivka areas.
- There are cryptic reports of Ukrainian troop movements and night operations in the Kharkiv region near Kupyansk.
Bakhmut
- Both Russian and Ukrainian forces continued ground attacks in the Bakhmut area on June 10th.
- Ukrainian forces reportedly advanced up to 1,400 meters in unspecified areas, which is significant progress compared to the slow Russian advance over the past year.
- The situation remains dynamic with conflicting reports from different mappers. Key points of contention include:
- Ukrainian gains north of Bakhmut towards Yahidne, threatening Russian supply lines
- Fighting around Bila Hora and the Berkhivka Reservoir
- Russian counterattacks southwest and northwest of Bakhmut
Avdiivka-Donetsk Front
- The situation remains largely unchanged around Avdiivka, Krasnohorivka and Marinka.
- Some Russian pressure reported around Pervomaiske, Nevelske and Opytne, but no significant changes in the past few days.
Zaporizhzhia Front
- Significant Ukrainian gains reported along the Zaporizhzhia front, particularly around Velyka Novosilka. Key developments:
- Ukrainian forces liberated Neskuchne, Blahodatne, and Makarivka, nearly wiping out 20km of the Russian front line
- Russians sources admit to losing Neskuchne and withdrawing to fortified rear positions
- Ukrainian forces advancing towards Staromaiorske and Urozhaine
- Heavy fighting continues in the western Zaporizhzhia region near Pyatykhatky, with Russians claiming to repel Ukrainian assaults from high ground. However, available footage doesn't fully support Russian claims of crushing the attack.
Wrap up
Jonathan emphasizes the dynamic, ongoing nature of the operations and the fog of war surrounding frontline developments. Both sides are putting out selective information, so a definitive picture is elusive. However, even with expected Ukrainian losses, the overall sense is that Ukraine is making meaningful progress in several key areas while Russia struggles to hold the line.
