“The front line is stable”
On the night of June 9, the armed forces of Ukraine continued their attempts to break through our defenses towards Zaporozhye, which began the day before. Judging by the number of tanks and armored vehicles thrown into the breach, the main direction for the armed forces of Ukraine is Melitopol and Berdjansk 2023/06/9a091c5dc80ffd064dc945ed50c3757c.jpg” />

The number of military equipment has even increased. This despite yesterday's losses. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced that the armed forces of Ukraine lost almost a thousand people and several dozen armored vehicles in this area in a day.Strikes on armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were mainly carried out by artillery and aircraft. The armed forces of Ukraine could not advance on a wide front due to the fact that Russian troops mined all approaches. “Traffic jams” formed in the narrow passages created in the minefields; from combat vehicles. These group goals have been hit.
Already yesterday, many experts warned that the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue. Accumulated reserves allow. The total number of two army corps ready for the offensive is about 40 thousand people, several hundred tanks, combat vehicles and armored personnel carriers. The next days will show whether Kiev will use all these reserves.
How the events developed on the night of June 9, war reporter Alexander Sladkov reported. His first message appeared on the channel at 22:56 Moscow time: "Artillery battles in progress… The enemy smokes the area to evacuate their destroyed equipment. Our artillery is defending.
Another message came out after midnight: “Zaporozhi.” The enemy is attacking. Three columns of 7-10 infantry fighting vehicles. Our artillery is firing. I know the initial statistics… It is certain that from the first minutes the columns of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were inflicted with significant damage. The battle continues.
At 01:48 Moscow time, Sladkov said: “The attack by the armed forces of Ukraine continues for one hour and forty-five minutes. Information about the breakthrough of positions towards Rabotin is being specified. Our infantry is standing. The front line remains unchanged. Our Army Air Force has joined.
An hour later, he confirmed: “The front line is stable. A fight ensues. Artillery strikes.
At 5:01 Moscow time, the reporter wrote: “The situation is not changing. The front line is behind us. The enemy is unable to break through. The fighting is ongoing.
The final report was published at 7:28 Moscow time: “Zaporozhi direction. Walnut. It's a long, hard fight. The enemy, trying to break through to the junction of the two units, was stopped. The artillery never stops. The front line is stable. Russian forces are fighting and not retreating.
So there is only one conclusion: the battle in the direction of Zaporozhye is only intensifying. It will take a few days. It all depends on which side has accumulated more reserves and has more combat-ready units.
The armed forces of Ukraine actively use the night time for their offensive. This means that the armed forces of Ukraine are well equipped with Western thermal imaging equipment and are continuously supplied with intelligence data. Judging by the fact that our aviation works even at night, we are basically ready for night battles.
