#WarInUkraine D+484 (22/06) PdS1 - Dnipro-Donetsk offensive
The front line hasn't changed since yesterday, but maybe we're not looking in the right place...
rare images of 🇺🇦 Su-25 practicing "throw & leave"👇
#Ukraine June 21, updates from @escortert. usually in two parts -> PdS1, Dnipro-Donetsk offensive -> PdS2, Louhansk-Siversk-Avdiivka areas & Backstage Here is the PdS1 for today 👇
3/n
in blue, change to 🇺🇦
in red, change in favor of 🇷🇺
for details, see development by sector below👇
No change in the front line of the Dnipro-Donets offensive for today
4/n
The clear downward trend in the ratio👇 (1.58 to 1.17 then 1.13 today) reflects increasingly heavy relative losses for 🇺🇦
This is normal and logical for an offensive army.
5/n
What are the objectives of the current offensive on the 🇺🇦 side?
Attrition?
Territorial reconquest?
Force the enemy to move its forces to the front line?
Fix his reserves in place?

said that 🇺🇦 had to recover its territories, but admits that the "progress of the offensive is slower than expected"
#Putin believes that no objectives of the offensive have been achieved and 244 MBT as well as 679 tanks "have been burned"! 👇
7/n
I'll rewrite: we don't have the whole picture in front of us!
Several operations, including the main ones, may not yet have been launched...
For example, over the last 3 weeks, 🇺🇦 has made some curious choices in terms of artillery targeting
8/n
It has concentrated its fire in the directions of #Belgorod and... #Kherson
Ongoing offensive directions, #Bakhmut, #VelikaNovosilka and #Orikhiv have not mobilized artillery brigades as much
Which is paradoxical, since they should have been the heart of the target...
9/n
sector 1/in the #Bakhmut direction, 🇺🇦 no tactical gains
(i) #Bakhmut northern salient, NTR
NTR does not mean that the fighting has stopped!
They continue and 🇺🇦 continue to take 🇷🇺 prisoners in the #Berkhivka👇 direction.
11/n
(iii) #Bakhmut southern salient,
In #Klischiivka axis, 🇷🇺 83rd airborne brigade relieved 31st due to heavy losses
🇺🇦 took the opportunity to improve its positions on the CSD (Canal Siverskyi Donetsk)👇
12/n
sector 2/in the #VelykaNovosilka direction, 🇺🇦 no tactical gains
(i) on the left flank in the #Pryyutne axis, #Riznopil, on a high ground, resists
a 🇷🇺 tank tries to block the advance des🇺🇦 tanks👇
13/n
(ii) on the central axis towards #Staromlynivka, #Urozhaine concentrates the fighting
(iii) on the right flank, in line with #Novodonetske, 🇺🇦 unsuccessful assault
fighting west of #Makiivka
14/n
The 🇷🇺 retreated to better defensive positions as they advanced into the gray zone 👇
15/n
sector 3/ in the #Orikhiv direction, 🇺🇦 no tactical gains
(i) In line with #Robotyne, NTR
(ii) In the #Vassylivka axis,
#Pyatykhatky is still controlled by 🇺🇦
It is under des🇷🇺 assault from the heights along the T-0408👇 road.

Пока Киев заявляет о якобы контроле над Пятихатками, русская армия методично уничтожает в селе танки и пехоту ВСУ В сети распространяются кадры эффективной работы русской армии по ВСУшникам в Пятихатках Запорожской области. На них видно, как артиллерийским огнем, корректируемым при помощи БПЛА, уничтожаются украинские танки, БМП, и сами киевские вояки. В селе также находились украинские солдаты, обученные по натовским стандартам — однако это их не спасло. При этом Киев утверждает, что контролирует Пятихатки, но, как видно на кадрах — это не так. ВСУ так и не смогли там закрепиться.
16/n
At stake in the fighting is control of a forest high above #Pyatykhatky👇
17/n
🇺🇦 must clear the trenches along the T-0408 leading to #Vassylivka 👇 to allow armored progress
18/n
(iii) In the #Verbove axis, 🇷🇺 very marginal tactical gain (on a counter-attack that pushed the 🇺🇦 back a little )👇
