Tanks are heading towards the Dnieper River, and the defensive line has been breached — the reserve forces are powerless to reverse the situation: a summary of the frontlines in the special military operation.

Russian tanks have broken through the defenses and entered the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The enemy has no reserve forces left, and their fate is irreversible.

Kyiv has exhausted all available reserves and cannot stop the Russian advance. Tank units have broken through Ukrainian defenses over a wide front and entered the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. These are developments that were not covered in official summaries over the past 24 hours.

Frontline Situation

Along the border with Sumy Oblast, the enemy continues to attempt breakthroughs against Russian defenses. Although the situation remains tense along the borders of Kursk Oblast and Belgorod Oblast, small-scale attacks by Ukrainian forces have failed to yield results. Meanwhile, Russian forces continue their advance in Sumy Oblast, with reports of comprehensive evacuations underway in Yunkakovka. According to Western military experts, Russian forces have reached within 12-20 kilometers of Sumy, where Russian attack and reconnaissance drones can easily reach the area.

Analysts speculate that the Ukrainian command has no chance of holding Sumy. There are no defensive fortifications capable of stopping the Russian advance, and Ukrainian troops (mainly those withdrawn from Kursk) are demoralized and disorganized.

At the same time, Russian forces continue their offensive on other fronts. For instance, in the Kupyansk direction, Russian forces are expanding their control based on the Oskol River, launching attacks in Kondratsovo, Dubrennaya, and Tishenkovka.

In the Lyman direction, Russian forces have crossed the Nyetria River and pushed the enemy back toward the Petrovsky direction.

Military journalist Yevgeny Lisytsen reported: "In the Pokrovsk direction, our troops have reached the western border of the Donetsk People's Republic and are advancing toward Novopavlovka in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast between Volchaya and Solenaya. The Ukrainians have dubbed this the 'Novopavlovka direction' and are aware of the risks to their entire logistics system. Currently, 'Lancet' drones are striking enemy positions, while our forces consolidate their positions."

The Russian Ministry of Defense officially confirmed that the 90th Tank Corps has entered the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast over a wide frontage. This is a significant blow to Kyiv and a disaster for the Ukrainian forces: the defensive lines have essentially been breached.

Fierce fighting is also ongoing in the Ugledar region northwest of the southern Ugrader. Russian forces are advancing in Komar, Zaporozhye, and multiple other sectors.

"Two Majors" forces reported: "The battle for Komar is ongoing. Fighters from the Far East report that they have secured the southern part of the settlement and are conducting clearance operations."

High-Value Targets

After drone attacks on Russian strategic airports and the implementation of the "Spider Web" operation, the West and Kyiv expected Russia to retaliate with unprecedented force, possibly even using nuclear weapons. However, such scenarios did not materialize. Military experts noted that Russia has transitioned to a large-scale, almost daily pattern of strikes against Ukraine, with a significant shift in targets. Nowadays, not only Ukrainian airports and military installations but also industrial, infrastructure, and energy facilities are being targeted, achieving notable success with this strategy.

The night of June 9 was no exception. Alarms sounded across all of Ukraine, with explosions heard in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, and elsewhere. The main strikes focused on Ukrainian Black Sea gas platforms, Odessa, and some targets in the country's west, particularly near Dubno in Rivne Oblast, where dozens of cruise missiles struck the area.

Military blogger Yuri Podolyak wrote: "It is noteworthy that the Dubno area was first 'reconnoitered' by a 'Caliber' drone and followed up with additional reconnaissance. Then two 'Kinzhal' missiles (possibly targeting key objectives or air defense systems) flew there. Subsequently, a group of 'Caliber' drones and a batch of X-101 missiles (possibly including 'Caliber') followed. It is intriguing to wonder what the 'high-value target' was last night that our rocket forces so densely targeted, and the strikes on the city area have yet to cease."

Thousands of Bodies

Meanwhile, Russia seems to have launched a different type of strike against the Kyiv regime. This involves transferring the bodies of six thousand fallen Ukrainian soldiers. It is well known that Kyiv has categorically refused to accept these bodies under extremely absurd pretexts, thus falling into a trap set by Russian diplomats.

Many pointed out that if Kyiv were to accept these bodies now, the Ukrainian authorities would have to pay around $2 billion to the families of the fallen soldiers. But for the Kyiv regime, the greater concern is not this financial burden but the fact that since the start of the special military operation, Kyiv has consistently denied such massive casualties. Now, however, it can no longer deny them.

"Military Chronicles" Telegram channel author noted: "Against the backdrop of the fall of Chasovoyar, the critical situation in Sumy and Pokrovsk, technical defaults, budget shortages, and other issues, this is not just an informational strike but a collapse of the image. No matter how many television marathons of propaganda are held or drone attacks launched against Moscow, this cannot be concealed."

Military experts pointed out that this image strike occurred at a time when the Ukrainian army was in dire straits. The Ukrainian armed forces urgently need mobilization. The current troops fighting are the third wave of soldiers; the first wave perished in Bakhmut during the first year of the special military operation, and the second wave died in failed offensives in Zaporizhzhia and Kursk Oblast. The third wave is in a very poor state, inadequately trained, and with low morale. Now, as Ukrainians realize that the Kyiv regime will not even compensate families for fallen soldiers, the morale of the Ukrainian military will further deteriorate.

"In reality, Ukraine is no longer the nominal protector of those sent to the frontlines. The key issue is that the third wave of Ukrainian troops may not be the last, but they will be the first to systematically refuse full payment and directly refuse to acknowledge obvious facts." Concluded "Military Chronicles."
