NEWS UPDATE SOUTHEAST FRONT VREMIVKA SALIENT LATE AFTERNOON JUNE 5
Continued ukrainian attacks but limited progress besides Novodonetske who was taken an hour ago. Leopard tanks was present during the attack in Novodonetske. During the day UkrAF units has continued attacking the same positions as yesterday on the Vreminka salient. Those places are Novodarivka (1), Rivnopil (2), Neskuchne (3) and Novodonetske (4).

The ukrainian side is still quiet about the fighting. They will probably say that this is the beginning of the Counteroffensive if they are successful with moderate losses. If not successful, they will probably bury this operation in silence. But the use of Leopards and the capture of Novodonetske should get ukrainian attention.

The blue shaded areas are alleged ukrainian controlled areas after yesterdays fighting. During the early morning RuAF took full control of Novodarivka (yellow box) and the russian frontline north of Rivnopil is holding. There are russian claims that Neskuchne (green box) also are under russian control again, but I haven't got any confirmation on that.

The fighting in Novodonetske/one has continued during the day. The ukrainians broke through the russian defences during the night and took control over half of Novodonetske. Then a russian counterattack during the early morning forced the ukrainians back to the outskirts of the settlement. The original ukrainian attack force consisted of a battalion of soldiers and 35 armoured vehicles.

During the afternoon the ukrainian forces got reinforcements of at least two companies of soldiers and 20 armoured vehicles, among those several Leopard tanks. After that the ukrainian force succeeded in taking Novodonetske (purple box) a short while ago. At least 2 Leopards and 5 armoured vehicles has been seen in the settlement.

I believe UkrAF at present are awaiting and prepare for a new russian counterattack aiming at retaking Novodonetske.

For those that disbelieve any information about ukrainian losses yesterday I include two russian videos from yesterday's fighting.

Ps: sama miejscowość Novodonetske to mała wioska - mieszkało tam 327 osób przed wojną.

@konradpra: Czyżby pierwsze użycie Leopardów w tym konflikcie?

@konradpra: Tam to będzie ciężko jak z odbijaniem Chersońszczyzny.
Dużo podgryzania się wzajemnie ze sporymi stratami. Ciężko o element zaskoczenia.
A te otrzymane Leopardy to niestety ilości aptekarskie narazie.

@Nateusz1: Zwykłe polowanie na Leo w celach propagandowych.

@konradpra: Jeżeli się przewbiją i dojdą dosyć szeroko to morza to są ciekawe opcje. Z jednej strony przecięcie komunikacji na Krym. Z drugiej - mocne utrudnienie sytuacji Rosjan w Donbasie. Z trzeciej strony - możliwość zagrożenia Taganrogowi. Z czwartej - łatwiejsze BOOM na moście krymskim (niekoniecznie żeby go #!$%@?ć, raczej żeby skłonić Rosjan z Krymu do #!$%@? póki stoi).

pewnie bardzo ciężko będzie z przebiciem się do morza, ale sukcesem będzie, kiedy dojdą na tyle daleko, że będą mieli w zasięgu główne linie komunikacyjne między Rosją a Zaporożem.

@analboss: Nie muszą dojść aż do Bierdiańska, żeby izolować Rosjan.
