On June 12, 2023, Ukraine continued to resist the Russian-Ukrainian war with tenacity, entering its 474th day. At the same time, the counteroffensive in southern Ukraine is gaining momentum, the Ukrainian army has gradually destroyed the Russian defense line, and a new round of fighting has broken out within Russia.
The Russian Ministry of Defense and relevant departments held a video conference yesterday, announcing that from July 1, 2023, all soldiers who volunteer to fight for Russia must sign contracts, including the private military company Wagner. This decision shows Shoigu's intention to place PMCs under the direct command of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner group, was categorically opposed to this, arguing that Wagner had effectively coordinated with the Russian army, and that Shoigu lacked the ability to manage the army. This internal contradiction has been around for some time and it remains to be seen whether it will escalate further.
In any case, this internal contradiction is good news for Ukrainians and confirms previous speculation that Ukraine may be interested in letting Wagner leave before restarting the counteroffensive. Now, the Ukrainian army continues to make progress on all fronts, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calling it the largest military operation on the European continent since World War II and marking the beginning of a decisive victory in the Great Patriotic War.
In the Bakhmut direction, Ukrainian troops continued to advance, consolidating their foothold in the area of the Berkhivka reservoir. The 3rd Azov Assault Brigade in the south also achieved an important victory, destroying the strongholds of the 57th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Federation and moving the front 1500 meters forward. In addition, the first battalion of the 3rd separate assault brigade advanced under the cover of armored vehicles and artillery, threatening the village of K.
In the direction of Veliko Novosil, the Ukrainian army launched an offensive overnight, liberating more than 100 square kilometers of land, and the Russian army claimed to have voluntarily withdrawn from the battlefield. Several villages and towns were confirmed to be under the control of Ukrainian forces, and the Ukrainian flag returned to its original place. In addition, Ukrainian partisans blew up an important railway bridge, cutting off Russian rail transport to Crimea.
Despite the victory of the Ukrainian army on all fronts, in the Tokmak direction, they chose to consolidate existing positions rather than launch a new offensive. This area is the key defensive direction of the Russian army, and the Ukrainian army needs to fight steadily, after all, the Russian army has a strong force there.
The Ukrainian army also delivered precision strikes, destroying the Russian army's quartermaster base and electronic warfare complex, as well as a tank. In addition, Ukrainian partisans continue to bombard deep behind enemy lines, cutting off Russian railway transport. According to the statistics of the Ukrainian General Staff, the Russian army lost a lot of personnel and equipment yesterday, showing the strength and tenacity of the Ukrainian army.
In the end, the Ukrainian people have shown a firm determination, whether they are fathers and sons, sisters, or husband and wife, they are fighting for the independence and freedom of the country. This nation has proved their choice with practical actions, regardless of position, worthy of respect.
To sum up, the Ukrainian army has made significant progress in the Ukrainian counteroffensive, and the contradictions within Russia may be further aggravated. This epic Great Patriotic War continues, and it is hoped that Ukraine will continue to maintain its tenacity and determination and finally achieve victory.
