[LB] At the end of May, the situation in the Pokrovsky direction began to acquire some ambiguity for our enemy. His troop group "Center" achieved tactical success in the Ocheretny region, made several breakthroughs in different directions, so the question arose before him: what to do next? His main forces, successfully taking advantage of the replacement of our brigades, moved along the railway from Avdiyivka in the north-west direction to Ocheretyn — Novooleksandrivka. The width of the area of the breakthrough on May 24 is approximately two kilometers, that is, it is possible to shoot through with the DShK, but the unprotected flanks of this area restrained the offensive rush of the aggressor.
by Viktor Kevlyuk
If the commander of the "Center" military unit, Colonel-General Andriy Mordvichev, had limited himself to going to the Novobakhmutivka - Solovyove and Novokalynove - Keramik lines, entering the operation on the left flank of part of the forces of the 27th Motorized Rifle Division of the 2nd Army and the 35th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the 41st Army on the right, then now we would have a different operational situation. But the 30th and 35th Mechanized Brigade from Ocheretiny advanced to Novooleksandrivka, setting themselves up for counterattacks by our "Tavria".
That is, this operational decision of the headquarters of the "Center" Military Command, which is managed by Lieutenant General Denys Lyamin, involved not fixing on the achieved line, not solving the problems of the flanks to ensure the advance of troops into the depth of our defense, but deepening the breakthrough. For this purpose, not only the main forces of the 2nd Army (27th Motorized Rifle Division and 30th Infantry Brigade), which were already moving in the north-west direction, but also the 35th, 55th, and 74th Infantry brigades were brought into the operation of the 41st Army.
Here, an operational error can be seen - the enemy brigades were introduced into the operation in stages, and not simultaneously (that is, the "Center" headquarters did not adhere to the principles of concentration of efforts and massing of troops). In addition, all three brigades of the 41st Army had previously advanced in other directions, which required a turn to new ones, and this was a regrouping of the entire order of battle. Which, of course, was good for Tavria.
The enemy captured Keramik, Novokalynove and Arkhangelsk, pushed the units of "Tavria" out of this area beyond the cascade of ponds north of the last village, and broke through to the east of Novooleksandrivka. According to the results of these battles, it became clear that even the capture of Novobakhmutivka and Solovyovoi did not provide the flank of the 30th and 35th OMBR, and the circumstances demanded to go to the line Sokil — Novopokrovske and clear the area between Novooleksandrivka and Arkhangelsk.
As a result of this persistent movement to Novooleksandrivka, the 35th EMS Brigade and the 433rd MSP of the 27th Motorized Rifle Division became a threat to receive a powerful blow from the "Tavria" from the Sokol area on Ocheretyn, which could create huge problems at least for the advanced units of the enemy that climbed into this gut.
It must be admitted that the headquarters of the "Center" military unit noticed this in time and deployed its reserve - the 15th EMS Brigade in the direction of Sokil. But "Tavria", showing superhuman resilience in defense, for almost a week held back the attacks of the 15th and 74th Infantry brigades on Sokil and Novopokrovske.
Similarly, the enemy did not succeed in advancing beyond the line of ponds in the direction of Kalinovoy or storming Novooleksandrivka. All this was very similar to an offensive without a goal, just a movement somewhere. It would be logical and well-founded to attack the Sukha Balka-New York border in order to bypass the defense area of our tactical group near Toretsk from the south.
The lack of ammunition and other resources prevented Tavria from punishing the enemy for all these mistakes.
During the week, the 228th Mechanized Brigade and the 239th Tank Regiment of the 90th Tank Division of the 41st Army, in cooperation with the 1st EMS Brigade of the 1st Corps, occupied Netaylovye and Umanske, but the problem of the flanks of the strike group advancing in the direction of Ocheretyne — Novooleksandrivka, only worsened.
The 15th and 55th Infantry Brigades stubbornly attacked in order to reach the line Sokil — Novopokrovske, and the 114th Infantry Brigade of the 1st Corps and several battalions of the 74th Infantry Brigade of the 41st Army pressed in the direction of Semenivka — Novoselivka Persha.
The 35th and 132nd Infantry brigades, without stopping their attacks in the direction of Arkhangelsk — Kalinov, slightly changed the vector of their attack from Arkhangelsk — Kalinov to Keramik — Oleksandropil, closer to the road Kostyantynivka — Yasinuvata.
All these actions clearly indicated the intention of the headquarters of the Center military headquarters to create the conditions to conduct a further offensive operation in the Toretsk area. Taking into account the actions of the adjacent flank of the "Yug" UA, the enemy's clear intention to cover Toretsk from the north and south emerges.
In another week of fighting, the "Center" got hold of Novooleksandrivka and eventually secured the left flank of its Ocheretyn group by advancing to the line between Sokil and Novopokrovskoe.
After June 10, advanced units of the 30th and 35th Separate Mechanized Brigades and the 433rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 27th Motorized Rifle Division occupied Novooleksandrivka and advanced north of the railway to Lozuvatskyi. Although the southern flank of the "Center" military base was in relative safety, the enemy tried to advance in the direction of Novoselivka Pershoi in order to advance far abroad, which guaranteed the safety of his troops in Ocheretino.
The enemy was making efforts to advance in the western and northwestern directions, but was not active in the lane of attack of the 132nd EMS Brigade of the 1st Corps, for example, on Kalinov or Oleksandropil. And this strange, at first glance, attempt means that the "Center" military command center wants to create serious operational problems for "Tavria", because the "Center" headquarters in this area has acquired variability in its further actions, first of all, to advance as deeply as possible behind the right flank of the Torets tactical group Landslide "Tavria" from the south all the way to the Pokrovsk — Kostyantynivka road.
In the course of the week, we should expect the release of the "Tsentr" military aircraft carrier at the Novopokrovske-Umansk border and its capture by the troops of Yasnobrodivka. If he succeeds in this, then the threat of a flank strike to the enemy's tactical group in the Ocheretiny region — the 30th, 137th EMS Brigade and the 433rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 27th Motorized Rifle Division — will be completely eliminated. And this will be a favorable condition for continuing the offensive in the north-western and western directions, that is, on Lozuvatske, Sokil and Novoselivka Persha.
It can be assumed that the 74th and 55th Infantry Brigade of the 41st Army, the 15th Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Army and the 114th Infantry Brigade of the 1st Corps with reinforcements (in fact, meat farms from the territorial troops and other formations " mobilization reserve") will attack through Vozdvizhenka to the Pokrovsk — Kostiantynivka road in order to cut it in the Malynivka — Nova Poltavka section and reach the Vovcha River in the Progress — Komishivka section and create several bridgeheads there if the course of events is favorable for the enemy.
The introduction of the 137th Infantry Brigade into operation in the Pokrovsky direction and the arrival of reinforcements to the 15th Infantry Brigade (to the battalion) are in favor of this development of events.
In the direction of its main attack, the "Center" submarine has a significant advantage in forces and means, skillfully maneuvers it, bringing it to totality at the right moments of the battle in selected areas.
If General Mordvichev puts two or three brigades and three or four reserve regiments into operation, then almost 100%, not only the Tavria anti-aircraft missile defense system, will solve a crisis on an operational scale, which the Defense Forces have not had for two years.
You should carefully read the news about the development of events in the direction of Oleksandropil, Kalynov and in the Karlivka area, i.e. on the adjacent flank of the enemy's "Center" and "South" anti-aircraft defenses and in the lane of attack of the 132nd Infantry Brigade, directly behind its battle formations. Obviously, the enemy will try to take advantage of the results of their success in the Pokrovsky direction.
The total number of enemy attacks on the front line reached 44.
by Ivanna Kapustyanska
The greatest activity of the enemy since the beginning of the day has been observed in the Pokrovsky direction. Almost a third of all clashes took place there today. At present, the total number of enemy attacks on the front line has reached 44.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces informs about this.
The border areas of Chernihiv and Sumy regions suffer from artillery shelling from the territory of the Russian Federation. Since the beginning of the day, terrorists have been subjected to insidious artillery strikes: Bilovody - from the direction of Vnezapny (Russian Federation), Grabovskoe - from the direction of Staroselj (Russian Federation), Mikhalchyna Sloboda - from Guzovka (Russian Federation).
Also, the aggressor from his territory continues to hit the Kharkiv region with guided aerial bombs. From the side of Belgorod (Russian Federation), the enemy struck with two anti-aircraft guns in the direction of Synelnikovo. Fighting continues in the areas of the settlements of Tykh and Vovchansk.
In the Kupyansk direction, seven enemy assaults are ongoing in the areas of Petropavlivsky, Andriyivka, Grekivka, and Nevsky.
In the Lymansky direction, the enemy became more active in the area of Makiivka, where the battle is currently being fought. Also, the occupiers are active in the Kramatorsk direction, namely in the area of Chasovoy Yar. Two skirmishes are ongoing.
The enemy is most actively trying to storm today in the Pokrovsky direction. Seven attacks have been repulsed, eight are still ongoing. The fighting is taking place in the districts of Novooleksandrivka, Kalinovoy, Sokol and Novoselivka Persha.
In the Kurakhiv direction, the number of attempts by the aggressor to improve his tactical position increased to six. All are unsuccessful.
Seven enemy attacks were repulsed in the Vremivsk direction today, in particular, in the Staromayorsky, Sweetsky and Urozhany districts.
In the rest of the directions, the situation has not changed much.

Donetsk direction: advance of the Russian Armed Forces to Krasnogorovka and assault on Nevelskoye, situation as of 13:00 June 15, 2024
In the Donetsk direction, Russian units continue the assault on Krasnogorovka, and are also advancing on the northern flank.
Over the past week, the enemy was driven out of some positions on the western and eastern outskirts of Krasnogorovka. In the west, the advance of Russian troops is recorded in low-rise buildings along Parkhomenko, Gorky and Suvorov streets.
Significantly greater progress on the eastern outskirts. There, the development to the east of Mayakovsky Street, including the territory of the central hospital and technical school, came under the control of the RF Armed Forces.
The enemy was also knocked out from the high-rise buildings north of Sovetskaya Street. According to our sources, if the enemy’s presence there remains, it will be in the form of isolated “losses.”
There is also progress on the northern outskirts of Krasnogorovka in the area of Nakhimov Street. According to some reports, Russian attack aircraft advanced along it to the intersections with Leo Tolstoy and Bogdan Khmelnitsky streets.
Successes in the north of Krasnogorovka are associated with the resumption of assault operations in Nevelskoye and the surrounding area. Recently, attack aircraft were able to enter the village, but not without losses of equipment from the operating armored group.
To date, according to our data, it has not been possible to establish control over Nevelskoye. The enemy is resisting fiercely due to the importance of the heights to the west of the settlement in the defense of Krasnogorovka.
At the same time, earlier successes north of Domakhi in the area of ??Pervomaiskoye and Netailovo, and now the resumption of the assault on Nevelskoye, directly affect the enemy’s defensive capabilities both in Krasnogorovka and in the area as a whole.
Thus, the enemy forces operating in Krasnogorovka itself began to have problems with their moral and psychological state, and among the prisoners, so-called citizens recently mobilized by the “little catchers” are increasingly found. Ukraine.
To the south, in the Georgievka area, local attempts to advance the Russian Armed Forces are also observed.

The main hot spot in the Bakhmut direction remains Chasov Yar, where fighting is taking place in the Kanal microdistrict.
Over the past few days, Russian troops have managed to make significant progress within the borders of the “Canal” and establish control over most of the industrial zone in the north. The fighting is taking place outside Oleg Koshevoy Street, and the high-rise buildings to the south were under enemy control by the end of last day.
To the north, two wide forest belts on both sides of the railway came under the control of the RF Armed Forces. This allowed not only to partially secure the flank in the “Canal”, but also to a neighboring unit to clear the forest south of Bogdanovka.
In the vicinity of Bogdanovka itself the situation remains difficult. The enemy holds Kalinovka, from the adjacent heights and Grigorovka. The active use of HIMARS was also recorded in this area, which somewhat complicates the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces.
To the south, in the area of Ivanovsky (Krasny), Russian troops advanced in the direction of Kleshcheevka, occupying several forest belts. At the same time, it is curious that practically no information appears in open sources about the battles in the Stupki-Golubovskie-2 nature reserve. Apparently, there are either no attempts to advance the RF Armed Forces, or, on the contrary, they are very successful.
In the area from Kleshcheevka to Kurdyumovka the situation is hidden by the “fog of war.” There has not yet appeared any footage of objective control from anyone’s side that would allow us to establish the status of Kleshcheevka and the heights to the north.
High activity of enemy UAVs is recorded in the area, mining both the gray zone and supply routes for Russian troops, including anti-tank mines from Baba Yaga drones.

[Regnum] On June 15, the American newspaper The New York Times allegedly published a draft agreement between Russia and Ukraine dated April 15, 2022, which the parties never signed.
Fifty-fifty odds it’s real versus entirely invented in the NY Times editorial office.
According to the draft agreement, Ukraine is a neutral state and undertakes not to join any military alliances and not to station foreign military bases and contingents on its territory.
The UK, China, Russia, the USA and France are named as guarantors of Ukraine's security. It is noted that the guarantor status for Belarus has not been agreed upon with Kiev, and for Turkey - with Moscow.
One of the points included a guarantee from Kyiv that Russian is the official language and functions on an equal basis with Ukrainian in all government bodies and institutions of the country.
In addition, Kyiv had to condemn and prohibit the propaganda of the ideas of Nazism, fascism, and neo-Nazism. According to the newspaper, the Kiev regime refused to discuss these articles.
As Regnum reported, in April 2024, the German newspaper Die Welt wrote that in 2022, one of the reasons for Ukraine’s refusal to negotiate peace with Russia was allegedly the demand to make Russian the second state language. According to journalists, in Istanbul the parties were close to concluding a peace agreement, but Ukraine did not want to make Russian the second state language, lift mutual sanctions, abandon claims in international courts and legally prohibit Nazism.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, answering the question whether Ukraine really thwarted these agreements, said that at the negotiations in Istanbul, the delegations of the two countries initialed the document, but Kiev, under pressure from London, refused to continue working on it.
President Vladimir Putin said on May 17 that the initialed draft agreement between Russia and Ukraine, which was agreed upon at negotiations in Istanbul, could become the basis for resolving the conflict. He recalled that the draft document was signed by the head of the Ukrainian delegation, David Arakhamia. There was no mention of any other additional conditions; they had never been heard of in Russia, Putin added.
On June 17, 2023, Putin, at a meeting with the leaders of African countries, showed them the initialed peace treaty with Ukraine, which provided for the neutrality of Kyiv and security guarantees. He also showed a draft of the Istanbul Treaty, which took into account various provisions, including the number of military equipment and personnel. The Ukrainian authorities abandoned the agreements as soon as Russia withdrew its troops from Kyiv, the president emphasized.
Harris calls Putin's peace proposal a call for Kyiv's capitulation
[Regnum] On June 15, US Vice President Kamala Harris said at a conference on Ukraine in Switzerland that she considers Russian President Vladimir Putin ’s proposal for a peaceful settlement a call for Kiev’s capitulation.
“Yesterday Putin put forward a proposal. However, we must say honestly that he is not calling for negotiations, but for capitulation,” she said.
Harris added that she will continue to work with United States President Joe Biden to ensure that Russia bears the costs of the NWO. At the same time, she emphasized that the United States supports Ukraine not as part of charity, but in its own strategic interests.
As Regnum reported, on June 14, Putin announced his readiness for peace negotiations on Ukraine if Kiev withdraws troops from new Russian regions. He also promised that the Russian Armed Forces would stop hostilities if the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces begins and Kyiv announces its refusal to join NATO.
The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, said that he considers the initiative for negotiations an “ ultimatum.” In his opinion, Russian troops will not stop advancing if Kyiv fulfills Moscow’s conditions.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said on June 15 that many representatives of Western countries during the conference on Ukraine spoke about the Russian leader’s proposal, but all statements were unconstructive.
The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, wished the participants of the Swiss conference on Ukraine to discuss the proposals of the Russian leader if they really want to save the world.
More from regnum.ru Fidan calls Putin's peace proposals a "glimmer of hope"
Russian President Vladimir Putin's peace proposals for Ukraine are a glimmer of hope. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced this on June 15 at the opening of a conference on Ukraine in Switzerland.
Does anyone at all care what Turkey says, nowadays?
“Russia recently put forward new conditions. Regardless of their content, they are an important step and a glimmer of hope to begin with,” he said.
Fidan added that the conference in Switzerland would be more result-oriented if Russian representatives were present at it.
According to the minister, Ankara believes in the need for a full-scale solution to the conflict based on diplomacy and is always ready to accept new negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv.
As Regnum reported, the conference on Ukraine, to which Russia was not invited, is taking place from June 15 to 16 in Bürgenstock. Many countries refused to participate, and the number of conference participants dropped to 78, while Bern initially stated that he had sent out invitations to about 150 countries.
Any credible process to resolve the Ukrainian conflict requires Russian participation, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said at a conference in Bürgenstock.
On June 14, Putin said that Moscow is ready to conduct peace negotiations on Ukraine if Kiev withdraws the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the territory of new Russian regions. He added that Russian troops will cease fire if the Ukrainian leadership begins to withdraw troops and announces its refusal to join NATO.
Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted on June 15 that the Kremlin has nothing to convey to the participants of the so-called peace summit on Ukraine. He added that Russia intends to gather next time at a more substantive and promising event. The Kremlin representative clarified that the issue of peace in Ukraine is not being discussed in Switzerland, and Putin’s proposals for peace negotiations will not be on the agenda.
Even more from regnum.ru France explains NATO's refusal to put Putin's peace proposal on Ukraine
NATO rejected President Vladimir Putin's proposal for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine due to a desire for war with Russia. This opinion was expressed on June 14 by the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, on the social network X.
“It’s just crazy! “NATO has announced that it rejects the peace proposal made today by the Russian leadership,” he wrote.
Filippo noted that the alliance also responded to Moscow with threats, saying that several hundred thousand military blocs are in a state of high alert.
"They want war!" - the politician added and called on Western countries for peace, and France to leave NATO.
As Regnum reported, on June 14, at a meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Putin announced Russia’s readiness for peace negotiations on the Ukrainian conflict. The President called the conditions for this the complete withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the new regions of Russia within the borders in which they became part of Ukraine, as well as the refusal of the Kiev regime to join NATO.
The head of state named the lifting of Western anti-Russian sanctions as another condition for negotiations. According to Putin, Kyiv and the West must recognize the new territorial realities and status of Crimea with Sevastopol, as well as the LPR, DPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions as subjects of Russia. At the same time, basic agreements on the peaceful resolution of the conflict need to be fixed in international treaties that will spell out the rights, freedoms and interests of Russian-speaking citizens in Ukraine, the Russian leader added.
Later, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenbnerg said that the bloc does not consider Putin’s proposal to resolve the conflict in Ukraine peaceful. He noted that the alliance will continue to supply weapons to Kyiv.
In turn, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, called Putin’s initiative an “ ultimatum.” In his opinion, Russian troops will allegedly not stop the offensive after Kiev fulfills Moscow’s conditions.
Press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov said on June 14 that Putin was informed about the reaction of Kiev and the West to his peace initiative in Ukraine. The Kremlin spokesman clarified that the president called her predictable.

[Regnum] The newest Russian SSGN nuclear submarine Arkhangelsk, Project 885M, poses a huge threat to the North Atlantic Alliance, especially to NATO military bases located off the coastline. This was reported by the British edition of the Daily Express.
“There are fears that (Russia’s) Western opponents will not be able to detect its silent nuclear submarine with cruise missiles,” the material says.
According to journalists, the Arkhangelsk nuclear submarine will pose the greatest threat to NATO bases, naval convoys and coastal critical infrastructure.
It is noted that Arkhangelsk will significantly strengthen the Russian Navy. In addition, the submarine can be equipped with nuclear missiles capable of reaching speeds of up to 6,670 miles per hour (about 10,700 kilometers per hour).
The fourth generation multi-purpose nuclear submarine began factory sea trials in the White Sea in June 2024. It is planned to join the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy at the end of this year. Project 885M submarines are capable of carrying Onyx and Zircon anti-ship missiles, as well as Kalibr cruise missiles.
As Regnum reported, at the beginning of the year the Russian Navy received the Project 677 diesel-electric submarine Kronstadt (Lada). As Nikolai Evmenov, who was then Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, pointed out, the submarine showed excellent results during state sea trials. "Kronstadt" was included in the Northern Fleet.
On June 12, Sevmash General Director Mikhail Budnichenko said that the Russian Navy will receive nuclear submarines by the end of 2024, which will strengthen the country’s nuclear triad.
Russian and Egyptian warships conducted joint exercises in the Mediterranean Sea, the press service of the Pacific Fleet reported on June 15.
“During the exercises, we practiced the formation of a detachment of warships in a designated area, joint tactical maneuvering in various formations, conducted communications training and provided flights of deck-based helicopters,” the fleet press service said.
At the end, a farewell ceremony took place, during which the ships of the two countries parted on opposite courses to the sound of sirens.
The press service noted that the frigate Al-Qadir participated from Egypt. The joint training at the Pacific Fleet was called the next practical step in strengthening Russian-Egyptian naval cooperation.
Earlier, a detachment of Russian ships consisting of the missile cruiser CG Varyag and the frigate FFG Marshal Shaposhnikov left the port of Alexandria, which they were visiting on a business visit.
As Regnum reported, at the beginning of June, the Russian and Syrian military carried out exercises during which they repelled enemy attacks on the Tartus base. It is noted that the crews of the Pantsir-S air defense system, together with the crews of the anti-sabotage boat of the Black Sea Fleet "Cadet" and small missile boats of the Syrian Navy, destroyed naval drones of a mock enemy that were trying to break into the internal roadstead of the port. Also during the exercises, the military worked on preparing the systems for combat use and carried out, without actual use, electronic missile launches against surface targets in the Mediterranean Sea at a distance of more than 150 kilometers.
From May 27 to May 31, as part of the improvement of a unified regional air defense system, Belarus and Russia, under the leadership of the commander of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces, conducted joint tactical flight exercises. The military worked on the issues of managing diverse aviation forces, as well as organizing interaction when they performed combat training missions.
