19:45 Tankers of the "East" group of forces told how they liberated the settlement of Volnoye Pole in the DPR.
The tank crews carried out fire support missions for assault units, striking at fortified strongholds and enemy positions on the approaches to the settlement. Particular attention was paid to suppressing enemy fire weapons that were hindering the advance of the motorized riflemen.
"We were supporting the infantry, ensuring its advance. The assault aircraft was moving and encountering resistance. A specific house, a specific basement. We demolished it along with the basement, suppressing the enemy," shared the battalion commander with the call sign "Altai."

16:47 In the Special Operations zone, the work of doctors is especially important and valuable. A military doctor with the call sign "Volga" is always present for each combat mission of the Arctic motorized rifle assault detachment.
During the years on the front line, all sorts of things happened, the soldier recalls, and he often had to work at the limit of human capabilities. But one day remained in Volga's memory forever.
"I remember we were in position. Suddenly there were deafening bangs, and then we were covered. From the sound it was immediately clear that the "Hymars" was working," tells medic.
Andrey understood that it was necessary at all costs to drag all the injured away before the second landing and provide them with first aid. Those who could move independently helped the seriously wounded. In just fifteen minutes, more than 40 people were taken away from the repeated fire.
“It was a really tough day, but we managed to save the guys’ lives,” Volga recalls.

[REGNUM] In recent weeks, there have been reports from the SVO zone about the advancement of our troops 60-65 kilometers west of Donetsk, near the borders of the Dnepropetrovsk region. Judging by the latest reports, the fighting has already moved to the territory of this region.
Thus, last week, assault units of the 41st Guards Combined Arms Army liberated the village of Orekhovo in the Krasnoarmeysky (Pokrovsky) district of the DPR. The village is located less than a kilometer from the state border of Russia established by the Constitution. The assault troops went deep into the adjacent territory of the Dnepropetrovsk region and took a bridgehead there.
On June 10, the Ministry of Defense reported that units of the Vostok group, operating in the area of Velyka Novosyolka, advanced deep into enemy territory and “defeated the manpower and equipment of the mechanized, mountain assault brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the territorial defense brigade” not only near several villages in the DPR — Voskresenka, Poddubnoye, Komar — but also in the area of the village of Maliyevka in the Sinelnikovsky district of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
The arrival of units of the Center group to the DPR border became known on June 8. At the same time, reports were received of significant enemy losses in this area: the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost more than half a thousand fighters, seven armored vehicles (including a Swedish Viking armored personnel carrier) and a US-supplied radar station.
It was reported that for successful advancement in the Dnepropetrovsk region, the commander of one of the regiments of the 90th tank division of the Center group, Yevgeny Darayev, was nominated for the title of Hero of Russia.
And already on June 9, the press service of our defense department officially confirmed: in one day, the fighters expanded the control zone in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
The enemy command tried to refute the reports of the Russian Armed Forces' breakthrough. However, the success of Russian troops in this direction was confirmed by photo and video materials from the Sinelnikovsky district.
Our military has essentially begun forming a security zone for residents of the liberated areas of the west of the DPR. This is already the third buffer zone after those being created in the Sumy and Kharkov regions, respectively.
The fact that the offensive here is being carried out, among other things, for the purpose of creating a “buffer” was confirmed by the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov.
THE ROUTES DECIDE EVERYTHING
But at the first stage, entering the Dnipropetrovsk region will allow the Russian Armed Forces to complete the rout of the enemy group in the western part of the DPR, between Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) and Velikaya Novosyolka. Thus, with the liberation of the border village of Orekhovo, Russian troops will have access to the T0428 highway, along which the enemy delivers reinforcements and ammunition to the Donbass.
The settlement of Novopavlovka, a logistics center in the rear of the Ukrainian group, is acquiring key importance. This was reported by a front-line source of the Regnum news agency.
"In recent months, all logistics have been going through Novopavlovka. At first, aviation was operating there, then, as we got closer, drones were also activated. Now there is a real chance to cut off their supplies, break through to communications and complete the liberation of the entire western part of Donbas. Then, the freed forces can be moved in other directions," the source told the publication.
At the same time, Russian troops were not limited to success on just one section of the front. According to reports from the field, assault units managed to drive the enemy out of the village of Alekseyevka, located on the same T0428 highway, several kilometers from the border with the Dnepropetrovsk region.
Let us add that on June 10 it became known that the E50 highway leading from Pavlograd (a large center in the Dnipropetrovsk region) to Krasnoarmeysk-Pokrovsk, which is still controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, had been taken under fire control. The Ukrainian Armed Forces positions located on the section between Alekseyevka and Orekhovo are now semi-encircled.
North of Orekhovo, military operations continue in the area of Novonikolaevka and Novosergeevka.
"Solntsepek" covered the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of the settlement of Novopavlovka in the DPR
The success of the offensive along the entire front line from Novosergeevka to Alekseevka could potentially allow the expansion of the buffer zone in the Dnepropetrovsk region to 15-20 km.
SUMY WITHIN REACH
Simultaneously with the offensive in the west of the DPR and in adjacent areas of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Russian troops continue the operation to expand the buffer zone in the Sumy region. The day before it became known that three more villages had been liberated - Kondratovka, Aleksandrovka and Alekseyevka.
The Ukrainian analytical portal DeepState acknowledged the successes of the Russian army and noted our advance in the area of the villages of Belovody, Loknya and Sadki. According to unconfirmed reports, Russian troops also drove the enemy out of the settlement of Varachino. Thus, as of June 10, the advanced units are only 20 km from the regional capital, the city of Sumy.
Ukrainian sources admit that in the near future the northern outskirts of the city may be within range of Russian FPV drone strikes.
Certain models capable of striking at a distance of up to 50 km can already attack Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities in the central and southern regions of Sumy, as well as in adjacent populated areas. Thus, all enemy logistics in this area are in the sights of the Russian army.
At the same time, our aviation is carrying out intensive strikes along the entire length of the N-07 highway, which connects Sumy and the border areas, Ukrainian sources report. Both drones and frontline bombers using high-explosive aerial bombs are actively involved in the attacks. The Ukrainian army command, in turn, is trying to prevent a breakthrough of Russian troops in this direction.
The enemy is trying to build a new line of defense to the south of the buffer formed by our army, along the Oleshnya River - 10 km from the border and 15 km north of Sumy. When creating a defensive line, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are relying on the dominant heights along the right bank of the river, as well as on the forests, which allow them to hide concentrations of infantry and armored vehicles.
At the same time, Ukrainian sources complain about a shortage of troops.
The task of organizing the defense of Sumy has to be solved by units that have suffered heavy losses in the Kursk border area in recent months. Kyiv is sending mobilized recruits to replace the experienced military personnel who have been knocked out.
DAWN OF THE SUMMER CAMPAIGN
Russian troops have liberated more than 150 settlements since the beginning of 2025. The day before, the Ministry of Defense reported the liberation of the village of Zarya south of Konstantinovka (the southernmost city in the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration in the northwest of the DPR).
Zarya became the 152nd settlement captured during the offensive. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are meeting the start of the summer campaign in an extremely bloodless state.
According to open sources, as of June, Ukrainian troops have lost 27 of the 31 M1A1 Abrams tanks previously supplied by the United States.
The situation in the air is not the best for Kiev, admitted Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ignat. "Unfortunately, today Russia has aircraft that can see further and missiles that fly further. Even compared to the F-16. They also have a powerful air defense that works in tandem with aviation," he admitted. At the same time, the Ukrainian air defense itself cannot withstand attacks by the Russian Aerospace Forces, notes The New York Times.
Both Western and Ukrainian sources summarize that, given the shortage of weapons and the complete superiority of the Russian army on land and in the air, the Ukrainian Armed Forces may be threatened with a collapse of the front in several directions at once.

[Regnum] To destabilize the situation in the CIS countries, the leaders of international terrorists are using people from Central Asia fighting on the side of Ukraine. This was reported on June 10 by the head of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia, Alexander Bortnikov.
“In order to destabilize the situation in the Commonwealth countries, the leaders of the MTO are using people from Central Asian countries who are taking part in military operations on the side of the Kiev regime,” says Bortnikov’s statement, which was read out by the head of the operational information and international relations service of the Russian FSB, Alexei Komkov, at a meeting of the CIS anti-terrorist structures.
The greeting also states that Western countries are using psychological operations units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to incite interethnic conflicts in the CIS.
In his address, Bortnikov noted that last year, security forces of the CIS countries prevented 550 terrorist and extremist crimes, identified over 5.5 thousand terrorists, extremists and mercenaries. At the same time, over 1.5 thousand persons of this category were brought to criminal responsibility.
On February 27, Russian President Vladimir Putin reported that the number of terrorist crimes in Russia has increased and most of them are planned by Ukrainian special services. In this regard, the Russian leader called on the FSB, under the coordination of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC), to use available forces and means as effectively as possible and pay special attention to preventive measures, increasing the anti-terrorist protection of military and industrial facilities, life support systems, public facilities, as well as energy and transport infrastructure.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, over the past year, 2024, 190 terrorist attacks were prevented in Russia, six of which were prepared by members of the “Maniacs Cult of Killers” and “Columbine” movements (both are terrorist organizations banned in the Russian Federation) in educational institutions and places of mass gatherings.
[Regnum] On June 10, the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia published a video of the detention and interrogation of a Russian who, on the instructions of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), was preparing a terrorist attack in the Krasnodar Territory.
These videos show FSB officers detaining a man and handcuffing him.
During interrogation, the detainee said that in January 2025, an SBU officer contacted him through one of the messengers, who called himself Vladislav, after which the man began to receive tasks from him and remuneration for completing them.
“At the end of March 2025, he sent me photographs and coordinates of the location of a cache containing explosives that I was supposed to pick up to remotely detonate an energy infrastructure facility in the city of Novorossiysk,” he said.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier on June 10, the FSB detained a Russian who was preparing a terrorist attack in Kuban on orders from the SBU. It was noted that the man was also collecting data on the location of Black Sea Fleet ships for the Kiev regime.
On the morning of May 9, FSB officers detained a local resident in the Svatovsky district of the Luhansk People's Republic who was transmitting information about the location of Russian troops to the SBU. A criminal case was opened against the detainee under Article 276 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Espionage").

[Regnum] The Russian and American sides have preliminarily agreed to move negotiations on diplomatic irritants from Istanbul to their capitals. This was reported on June 10 by Moscow's Ambassador to Washington Alexander Darchiev.
“It is important, however, that there is movement forward, although it is entirely reversible, and it is measured by such a tangible result as the preliminary decision taken during the last round of consultations on April 10 of this year in Istanbul to move them to [their] capitals,” he said in an interview with TASS.
Darchiev was also asked whether the current US administration is taking concrete steps after declaring its readiness to normalize relations with the Russian Federation. The diplomat noted that relations between the countries are still far from being restored, since this process is not easy. Its progress is being slowed down, in particular, not only by opponents of the White House in the person of the "deep state", but also by "hawks" in Congress, where there is a stable anti-Russian lobby, the ambassador said.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier on June 10, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov reported that Moscow and Washington are planning to hold a third round of consultations to discuss bilateral irritants in the near future. At the same time, he noted that it is too early to talk about a specific date for the discussions.
Ryabkov also added that Russia still expects a clear response from Washington to its proposals, including the return of Russian diplomatic property.
The first meeting of the Russian and US delegations took place on February 27 in Istanbul and was devoted to the work of the diplomatic missions of the two countries. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted that Moscow sees progress in the issue of normalizing the work of the embassies.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] The night strike on June 10 on Kiev was a logical continuation of a whole series of massive attacks that in recent days have covered not only the capital, but also most of the regions of Ukraine.
The first wave of Geraniums and decoy drones was launched on the evening of June 9 and soon grew into a full-fledged complex operation that lasted most of the night. A significant number of modernized Geraniums and Iskander OTRK missiles were used in the strike on Kiev. The Ukrainian Air Force air defense acted atypically sluggishly - the missiles heading for the Zhulyany airport passed without interference, as did a significant number of drones that reached their targets within the city.
According to preliminary data, fuel tanks and warehouses in the area of the Zhulyany airport were hit, and the air defense systems positions were probably also hit. Apparently, another strike was carried out on the industrial complex of the Artem plant, one of the key points of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex. As in previous cases, damage from falling debris from downed drones was noted: the facades and roofs of civilian buildings were damaged.
The mechanics of the strikes fully confirm the line of official statements of the Russian Ministry of Defense: the targets remain exclusively military and industrial infrastructure facilities. It is curious that against the backdrop of this strike, strange statements are also recorded that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have begun to save on anti-aircraft missiles. According to rumors, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, has banned the use of anti-aircraft missiles against drones, concentrating the remaining ammunition on intercepting missiles. If this information is confirmed, this will be another sign of the growing pressure on Ukraine's air defense and its wear and tear with the help of much cheaper drones.
This, in turn, confirms that the Russian military industry is currently on the rise: 200 to 300 drones are launched in Ukraine per day, with a peak of up to 450. Western military analysts predict that by the end of August, Russia will reach an average daily rate of 500 drones. And this is not the limit. The peak of serial production is ahead.
The characteristics of the drones are also changing. If the Gerani drone of 2022 were actually copies of the Iranian Shahed 136, then the 2025 version is a completely different generation.
The speed and power of the warhead have been increased, maneuverability and noise immunity of communication channels have been improved. All this directly affects the accuracy and stability of operation. The night strike on Kiev clearly demonstrated this: the hits are clear, the strikes are extremely accurate.
And most importantly, this is not the end. The attacks from June 6 to 10 only marked the beginning of a new wave. In the coming days, an equally intense series of combined strikes is expected, using Kinzhal, Iskander, Onyx and X-series cruise missiles, in combination with massive drone attacks. Apparently, this time Russia's response will not be limited to a single action. It will be systemic — and, judging by the strikes on June 10, quite noticeable for Ukraine.
[IsraelTimes] Israel denies that it gave Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, after the Israeli envoy to Kyiv indicated that it had.
“It is not correct,” says the Foreign Ministry in a statement. “Israel did not transfer Patriot systems to Ukraine.”
“These systems are now in Ukraine,” said Ambassador Michael Brodsky in an interview with a Ukrainian YouTube channel on Sunday. “Israeli systems that were in service in the early 1990s, we agreed to transfer them to Ukraine, and unfortunately we did not talk about it very much.”
In May, The New York Times reported that a Patriot system based in Israel would be sent to Ukraine after it is refurbished.
A diplomatic source tells The Times of Israel that interceptor missiles were given by Israel to the US earlier this year, but none have been received by Ukraine.

[ColonelCassad] Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov on Armata:
The T-14 "Armata" is an expensive tank, it is easier for the army to buy cheaper T-90 tanks. Money is now needed to create new weapons.
In terms of functionality, it is, of course, much superior to existing tanks, but it is too expensive, so the army is unlikely to use it now.
In general, the topic of "Armata" is closed until better times. This war requires mass production and cheapness.
And "Armata" in the SVO turned out to be a classic "white elephant".
In the British Navy, "white elephants" were ironically called expensive battlecruisers from the First World War, which turned out to be beautiful, expensive, but poorly adapted to the modern war of that period. There is even a separate term "Admiral Fisher's White Elephants", which has gone down in history.
However, I am sure that after the war our designers will return to the topic of a tank with an unmanned turret, but where they will solve the issues of protection from drones in a completely different way, with a standard electronic warfare system and the ability to launch drones directly from the tank.
We saw something terrifying from the drone operators of the 83rd Airborne Brigade. They equip the Molniya strike UAVs with thermobaric charges from the Shmel infantry flamethrowers.
In the video, such a "winged thermobar" collapses a building with Ukrainian militants from the Ukrainian 21st Brigade in the Sumy region.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
