The enemy continues to dominate us in technology and artillery. The main goal at this stage is still access to the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, ensuring the stability of the land corridor between the Rostov region and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and blocking Ukrainian communications in the Black Sea. The defense forces are actively defending themselves and inflicting heavy losses on the Russian army.

This was announced by Defense Ministry spokesman Oleksandr Motuzyanyk at a briefing .

"Street fighting continues in Severodonetsk. The enemy's command does not reckon with losses and tries to capture as much territory of Ukraine as possible," he said.

Russian troops continue to use World War II tactics to surround Ukrainian troops and seize new territories. The enemy attaches special importance to achieving a significant advantage, especially in artillery and armored vehicles, with virtually no use of infantry maneuvers.

In Severodonetsk, it was in the infantry units that the occupiers suffered significant losses. The enemy advances only after the use of assault aircraft.

On June 12, four Tu-22 M3 long-range bombers from the Sea of ​​Azov launched at least three X-22 cruise missiles in Selidovo and Pokrovsky. On the same day, up to four Caliber naval-based missiles were fired from the Black Sea at Ukrainian civilian and military infrastructure facilities in the Ternopil region.

Donetsk direction. The Armed Forces are holding back the offensive of the occupiers, who are trying to surround our troops in the Severodonetsk and Lysychansk districts and block the supply routes from Bakhmut. The enemy has significant losses.

Lymansky. There is no active fighting on the part of the Russians, but they continue to shell the positions of the defenders in the areas of the Lighthouses (20 km north of Slavyansk) and Serebryanka.

Severodonetsk. The Armed Forces of Ukraine oppose assault actions inside the city. The enemy currently controls the center of Severodonetsk. High-intensity hostilities continue.

Bakhmut. Ukrainian units repulsed the enemy's assault in the directions of Viktorivka - Hrubivka and Komyshuvakha - Vrubivka. To blockade our units, the enemy resumed the offensive in Zolotoye and tried to gain a foothold on the border between Rota and Myronivka. The Armed Forces successfully restrained the assault on the enemy in the directions Dolomite - Kolyma and Dolomite - Novolugansk (15 km from Bamut)

The enemy attacked here to capture the dominant heights, but the defenders did not allow the occupiers to succeed.

In the Pokrovsk area, the occupiers conducted reconnaissance with a drone.

Kurakhivsky . The Russians with Su-25 planes struck an air duo at the positions of our troops in the Krasnohorivka area.

Avdiivsky, Novopavlovsky, Zaporozhye . The enemy fired along almost the entire line of contact to prevent the transfer of our reserves

Kharkiv . Ukrainian troops are fighting the enemy. The enemy moved to positional defense to prevent our troops from crossing the border. The occupiers stormed the Ternovo-Izbytske area and established themselves on the northern outskirts of Stary Saltov. They carried out remote mining near Petrivka and conducted air reconnaissance near Shestakov.

Slavic. Ukrainian defenders successfully restrained the enemy's offensive near the village. Valley and the Virgin.

Pivdennobuzhsky. The occupiers are conducting positional defense and have focused on maintaining the occupied areas, conducting reconnaissance.

Volyn and Polissya. The situation is without significant changes. Belarusians up to seven battalions continue to strengthen the border in Gomel and Brest regions. The threat of missile and air strikes remains.

Seversky. The Russians will keep their units on the border in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. This is done to prevent the overthrow of our troops. Artillery and mortars fired at the defense forces in the area of ​​Hrinivka, Chernihiv region.

"Black Sea and Azov operational zones. Russian ships continue to perform tasks to isolate the combat area, conduct reconnaissance and try to provide fire support to their troops," Motuzyanyk said.

As of today, six ships with Caliber missiles are ready for possible use in the Black Sea. Possible volley - up to 36 missiles.

We will remind, according to the chairman of the Luhansk OVA Sergey Gaiday, the enemy controls about 70% of Severodonetsk . Ukrainian defenders are inferior to Russians in artillery.
