I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the 846 day of the war.
Day 846: Jun 18
Today, there are a lot of developments in the Kharkiv direction.
The most interesting news comes from the Lyptsi area.
Here, Russians attempted to concentrate their forces for a renewed wave of assaults and to regain the initiative. Ukrainians countered this by destroying the Russian units with air power and drive-by raids before they had the chance to launch their assaults.
The main Russian goal in this direction continues to be establishing control over the town of Lyptsi and creating a buffer zone to push Ukrainian artillery away from the international border. Previously, Ukrainians were able to demoralize Russian units with drone strikes to the point that Russian soldiers abandoned their positions as soon as Ukrainians launched counterattacks. In desperation, Russian commanders saturated the area with reserves, which halted the Ukrainian momentum, but only in the short term.
The Institute for the Study of War reported that Russian forces were gathering near Hlyboke. Such a concentration of forces can only mean that Russians were preparing for a new wave of attacks toward Lyptsi.
The reason Russians decided to use Hlyboke as the launching area for their renewed attacks is quite complex. Russians are unable to transfer a large number of armored vehicles into the area, as Ukrainian drone operators are operating well behind the Russian border. Geolocated footage confirms this, as any time Russians attempt to probe Ukrainian defenses with a tank, it quickly gets detected and destroyed by Ukrainian drone operators as soon as it comes close to or crosses the border.
This causes Russian forces in the direction of Lyptsi to suffer from a severe lack of armored support. Additionally, the terrain between Lukiantsi and Neskuchne is characterized by a series of small forests separated by large open fields. Attempting to cross these fields with assault groups made up of pure infantry would be suicide, as Ukrainians have a large window of opportunity to spot and destroy the enemy.
This leaves only one possible axis of advance for large infantry assaults in this region. The distance between Hlyboke and the northern dachas of Lyptsi is relatively short, which limits the exposure of Russian soldiers to Ukrainian fire while they move to their target. Ukrainians had initially pushed the Russians out of these dachas, but the new Russian force's concentration here indicates that Russians planned to attack and regain the foothold.
Ukrainians understood the threat that this growing Russian force posed to Ukrainian defenders in the dachas and immediately sprang into action. Firstly, Ukrainian drone operators spotted Russian infantry moving into one of the buildings in Hlyboke before targeting it with an FPV drone. It turns out that Russians had also gathered ammunition here, as it quickly caught fire and burned down the building.
As you may remember from a previous report, Ukrainians had also targeted numerous Russian air defense systems inside of Russian territory. As this significantly weakened the Russian air defense network, Ukrainians were also able to conduct air strikes on the Russian force's concentrations in Hlyboke. Geolocated footage shows how Ukrainians targeted other buildings that Russians had moved into with a series of JDAM air strikes. Ukrainian drone operators then continued to monitor the settlement and called in air strikes on Russian positions, leveling any Russian building to the ground.
Ukrainians also complimented the JDAM strikes, which are launched from fixed-wing aircraft, with helicopter close air support, to rain down further destruction on Russian forces in the settlement. Geolocated footage shows two Ukrainian Mi-24P ‘Hind’ heavy attack helicopters returning from such a fire mission on Hlyboke.
To emphasize to the Russian soldiers gathering in Hlyboke that Ukrainians would not allow them to collect sufficient forces from launching new attacks, Ukrainians launched a drive-by raid on the settlement with a Ukrainian-made BTR-4E Infantry Fighting vehicle, nicknamed ‘Bustafel.’ Bustafel first drove up to the settlement, firing its secondary gun to suppress Russian infantry hiding in the buildings. After it drove into position, it fired into the settlement with...

Russia has handed over some territory to China in east (river)
In payment for what? 🇬🇧🇺🇦
@@tonupharry Payment for China not opening a second front.
War stop over Ruissa
President Joe Biden
Stop fighting
You know Ukraine is losing and being completely destroyed right?
Another detailed but succinct report. The enemy in that area seems to be having a very bad time.
Thank you for your work.
This is the second time I've seen reports of Ukraine using airpower lately
yup, things r changing
👍😉🇬🇧❤️🇺🇦
🚀🚀🚀💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇦
They always use drones, have been using them since taking air superiority around Krynky with them.
Much awaited, much appreciated excellent insights as always from you. ✌️ 🇺🇦
The survivors of this war won't be able to see a drone without getting PTSD.
american vets: afraid of bushes and hills
russian vets: afraid of quadcopter drones
Yep, on both sides. Wouldn't plan any drone shows for either country for the next few decades.
Just got done listening to an interview with a foreign legion volunteer over on Azeal's channel. Cheerful guy, but yeah, every time a drone was overhead he knew trouble was seconds behind.
Not see, hear.
Excellent reporting. Thanks.
Excellent News and report RFU !! 💪💪🫡🫡🇺🇦🇺🇦
thank your for another fine video.
Thank you for another report!
is just my impression or the AFU are now using NATO tactics? and very successfully
Monash tactics, from WW1, battle of Amiens onwards
Russkij are trying to do *escape from Kharkiv…* (inspired by “escape from Tarkov.)
I like the way this fellow describes the battles and tactics
Attackers: 3x losses to defenders
stupidity of the Russians: 7-fold losses to defenders
Russia is facing hard times
Those hard times are self-inflicted.
Thx for These Updates.
That seems like a training for a new combined arms capability that Ukraine not really possessed and seems pretty close to western doctrine + drones. Impressive to bring in CAS against the former mighty Russian AD network. Very promising.
My thoughts as I watched this report unfold. CAS is what the Russians have been fearing the most, now with added Drone mastery
@@crazylocha2515That would be an absolute nightmare combination. Let's hope it comes to pass.
@@abnego9676 I'm seeing similarities to the early Gulf actions minus the laser spotting of targets style of CA. Like the National Guard units that didn't have a lot of experience. Now Ukraine has drones spotting, so it's almost there. Success will spread throughout the troops as they share experiences and rotate. This will be one helluva Army when all said and done.
@@crazylocha2515 Agreed. Appears that they are taking the training from NATO resources to heart. Their first hand experience in drone warfare is obviously extensive, so if that can be properly integrated into their command and control structure, that's huge.
I bet the Russians were quite shocked by the Ukrainians actually having the chance to use their aviation!
Ukraine has been whacking those SAM systems a lot lately
@@floydlooney6837 Falcons will have room to hunt
@@floydlooney6837 Ukraine being able to use its air force on a regular basis might just break the russian army.
I thought they moved their remaining S-400 systems there. Apparently not, or they are as useless as ever. I'm seriously thinking a possibility that Russians don't have missiles for those systems and are incapable of manufacturing them due lack of western parts.
@@generalnawaki I do hope so. Thank you for expressing hope.
from Uruguay Viva Ucrania!!!...
RFU ty for the update. 🧑🌾🌻🇺🇲❤️🇺🇦
Thanks for your work. ❤
Three kinds of measuring distances in Ukraine: miles, kilometers, kilorussos
YOOOO 🤣🤣🤣
so if you ask in kiev "how far is it to moscau" the correct answer would be 500 kilorussos

Thanks! Great news 😂

Really- does RUclips actually force you to blur images of a fire? Looks like YT has all of RUclipsrs shaking in their boots.
Yes, actually, RUclips does force creators to censor content like that. Any videos found in violation of those guidelines get demonotized- the creators get no money from people watching the video. Also when it gets demonized RUclips stops suggesting the video to viewers. It's better for the creators to stick to the rules
RUclips is anti real life, it prefers videos about puppies.

It's pretty obvious that Russia's Kharkiv "offensive" of 2024 has been an absolute disaster. I'm surprised they haven't accepted this and retreated behind the international border.
They will refer to their eventual departure as a " Good will gesture " .
As long as Plasticheskoi Face is in charge he will keep sending meat packages into Ukraine
Instead of turning back, they've even started pulling brigades from the Eastern reserves to replace losses. Absolutely mad.
They’re getting there! so encouraging to see Ukraine being able to put together a combined arms operation with guided weapons. Gotta be a nightmare for foot soldiers
@@Bakes-z4c I so agree! Slava Ukraini!
Russia, just stop
and go home
Wouldn't it be better if the war stopped? Russia can go back to selling cheap oil to Europe, get rich, and everyone enjoys cheap oil while the oligarchs could drive around in their Lambos and Mercedes Benz limousines? Everyone's happy

The bioscanning abilities of the drones are fearsome. From an altitude of twenty metres or more it could tell the Russians needed their firmware updating

Ukraine should ask the USA for a few Apache attack helicopters or a couple of Cobra's, would they be a better option than f16's as the USA's attack helicopters are deadly to troops and amour?
The helicopters would pale in utility and effectiveness in comparison to the F16's. The F16's aren't really the important part either, it's all the weapons that can be attached to them. NATO has large stockpiles of missiles and bombs. They will now be able to be supply to Ukraine will all of these weapons that Ukraine never had a way of using before
It'll be a huge boost in threat area, bomb size, accuracy, and volume because of the weapons the F16 can utilize. Same can't be said for helicopters
The red on the map is cancer!
No it is the Brown deep nazi state of USA.

I don't know, russian casualties are always high and their morale was reported dead low for at least year now. They are still zerging. So I don't think any of those "if"s will become reality anytime soon.
The Russians could have moved these troops to the east and kept taking small chunks but they wasted so many soldiers and equipment. Now the red line of US weapons used on Russian soil has been crossed and the little Russia gained they soon look to lose.
Things in Russia are going not just well, but amazingly well. If anyone is going to lose, it will be you.
@@NPSpaceZZZyes, every successful country feels the need to repeat this ad nauseum in RUclips comment sections. Just normal behaviour when you are doing super well and nothing is going wrong for you at all.
@@NPSpaceZZZ Keep repeating that as they say the more you say it the more you will believe it.
It's easy and pleasant to tell the truth.
@@NPSpaceZZZ so this is things going amazingly well for Russia. Just curious what does going bad look like for Russia. At what point does Russia losses, meager gains and solidifying support for Ukraine start to look bad? Just wondering as it's hard to tell from a sane countries perspective since we would count the whole thing an unmitigated humiliating disaster for quite a while.
Wasn't this meant to be a 3 day 'military operation'...?
The story has become “Putin never said that!”, which is *technically* true. He said it would be a matter of weeks but all of the sock puppets that make up the commentariat of Kremlin state TV *did* say three days, and since none of them will even fart without Putin’s say so…
3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months.
Doesnt really matter.
Ukraine was not supposed to be able to fight.
Now it has been 3 years.
Russia certainly did not expect that.

Running the "If we have more Bodies than they have Bullets, we win."-Tactic in times of FPV Drones, precision Artillery with Cluster Ammunition is just dumb...
As if Zap Branningan is their Commander in charge...
Mettle wins out too. Ukraine has plenty of that.
@@ukrainef_poo-tin8917Absolutely agree with you. I never give him or any part of the z regime any such respect.
@@ukrainef_poo-tin8917 sometimes it happens accidentally, bloody autocorrect
I don't think Russia is ever going to figure out defensive in depth.
Robotyne:
Go home, Russia, you are drunk!
They lost their way home due to the vodka and other substances being ingested...
if that were a rule they couldnt leave their house
They lost their way home because they drank all the vodka. There’s no point in going home. There’s none there either.
Go home zelensky time is over

It says a lot about the Russian Air Force that the Ukrainians can operate helicopters so close to the border. By all rights, Russia should control that airspace.
The news with maps and descriptions is excellent.

That sounds insane. A single vehicle drive by? Surely that makes attacking it really easy?

What are the developments at Volchansk, have the remaining Orcs surrendered or have been wiped out?
No updates in that area, on the war maps in the last few days

Waiting for the Russian bots to tell us how Russia is closer than ever to Kyiv.
Even Pope wanted peace in Ukraine, but people are becoming poor in Ukraine, Europe and all over the world because of the dreamer Zelensky, who promises peace to the people and says that he will cancel the elections and win, and wants more money, weapons and soldiers every day, and expects Ukraine, which is not a member of NATO, to be protected by NATO. Russia never talked about attacking NATO or European countries. NATO defense cooperation. NATO protects its lands and aiding non-NATO countries is nonsense. Only some NATO countries cannot speak on behalf of all NATO. If some NATO countries want to go to war with Russia without a NATO joint decision, other NATO countries are not obliged to support the war. Ukraine can never win because Russia has mercenaries and weapons to continue the war for another ten years, but Ukraine cannot resist even for a year without support.
The only threat Russia faced was from within. And still does. You are a dreamer if you think the federation stays together after this. Putin just did a good bye tour of east Siberia and went looking for economic aid (weapons) from 🤣🤣🤣 North Korea.
