Girkin (who hates Prigozhin) approves:

quote:

The army wins wars. Not a set of certain detachments, not PMCs, not BARS, the army. This is so obvious that it does not require proof in principle. And the point is not whether the army is good or bad, the point is that only in a single organism with uniform standards and command can one accumulate resources and create the possibility of victory.

The experience of the enemy is instructive here, who also created all sorts of things in 2014, and then gradually integrated all this into the official power structures. So the decision on volunteer contracts is inevitable. But there is also a "but"

Is the army ready to accept these people and is it able to use them effectively? Kyiv survived this, and as a result, its army became stronger, now it is up to us. #thoughts

Here is a database of Ukrainian units you can use to determine what units are involved in which axis


There's obviously a lot that's not known about which UA units are where, of course. The 68th Jager Brigade just put out a video on their Facebook page showing them putting the Ukrainian flag in the center of Blahodatne, and Militaryland didn't show them in the area.

INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 11 June 2023

The collapse of the Kakhovka Dam on 06 June 2023 has almost certainly severely disrupted the occupied Crimean Peninsula's primary source of fresh water, the North Crimean Canal (NCC).

The NCC draws water from the Kakhovka Reservoir, from an inlet higher than the bed of the reservoir. The water level in the reservoir had likely dropped below the level of the inlet by 09 June 2023 and water will soon stop flowing to Crimea.

This will reduce the availability of fresh water in southern Kherson Oblast and northern Crimea. However, the Russian authorities will likely meet the immediate water requirements of the population using reservoirs, water rationing, drilling new wells, and delivering bottled water from Russia. Concurrently, communities on both the Russian and Ukrainian-controlled sides of the flooded Dnipro are facing a sanitation crisis with limited access to safe water, and an increased risk of water-borne diseases.

Ukrainian Armed Forces liberate Blahodatne in Donetsk Oblast
Roman Petrenko — Sunday, 11 June 2023, 12:07

Soldiers from the Oleksa Dovbush 68th Separate Ranger Brigade and other units of Ukraine’s defence forces have liberated the village of Blahodatne in Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast.

Source: Oleksa Dovbush 68th Separate Ranger Brigade on Facebook

Quote: "Valiant soldiers from the Oleksa Dovbush 68th Separate Ranger Brigade, together with other units of Ukraine’s defence forces based nearby, have liberated the settlement of Blahodatne.

The invaders resisted to the last, but they could not withstand the unstoppable wolverine’s assault!"

Details: The brigade reported that several Russian soldiers were captured, saying that the information they provided will help liberate more Ukrainian land.

The video of the 68th in Blahodatne was filmed at least 20 hours ago. That, and the fact that Rybar said that it fell "almost without a fight," lead to the conclusion that Ukrainian forces have likely advanced significantly beyond that point by now.

The peeling interior paint and condition of the building in that video points to it having been deteriorating well before this even began. Were there even people there before?

Meanwhile, Rybar can't stop talking about that one time when they destroyed some Western equipment. They are promoting new artwork for sale, "Lend-Lease Cemetery."

There is only so many miles you can get out of limited material - They have worn it so thin they are are starting to recycle the "where's Zaluzhnyi at?" talking point.

Someone else who has been missing that Russia has been worried about had this to say.

Edit 2: Things must not be happening or going well if this is what Russian disinformation accounts are putting out today.

Fun times coming up for Yevgeny Prigozhin. The Russian MoD just announced that all "volunteer" fighters, including those with PMCs, might sign contracts with the MoD by July 1st.

"PMC Wagner will not sign any contracts with Shoigu," Prigozhin commented on the new decree, according to which the fighters of volunteer formations are required to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Sounds like it is going down swimmingly, trying to verify original source that attributes these to Priogzhin.

It's raining hard in southern Ukraine today. There's also more rain forecast for the next few days.

"Those orders and decrees that Shoigu forms, they apply to employees of the Ministry of Defense and to military personnel. PMC Wagner will not sign any contracts with Shoigu. PMC "Wagner" is organically integrated into the overall system, PMC "Wagner" coordinates its actions with generals on the right, left, with unit commanders, has the deepest experience and is a highly effective structure. Unfortunately, most military units do not have such efficiency, and precisely because Shoigu cannot normally manage military formations. Therefore, the fact that he will write decrees or orders, this applies exclusively to the Ministry of Defense and to those who are within the Ministry of Defense. What can happen after this order - we will not be given weapons and ammunition - we will figure it out, as they say, when the thunder breaks out, they will come running and bring weapons and ammunition with a request to "help".
As for subordination, of course, PMC Wagner is absolutely completely subordinate to the interests of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. On the territory, according to the orders of Gerasimov and Shoigu, the Wagner PMC coordinates all its actions and fulfills the tasks set by Army General Surovikin. And since Surovikin is a smart, competent and experienced commander, the tasks that the Wagner PMC developed together with Surovikin and performed on his behalf, they showed a high level of efficiency and success.

If Shoigu is serious about this (and I think he is), then I think that Prigozhin picks up his marbles and takes his men to Africa. There's no way that he's going to have his men serve under Shoigu/Gerasimov -- that would be the ultimate humiliation.
And Prigozhin replies:
quote:

Prygozhyn reacted to the order from Ruzzian defence ministry. He stated that the Wagnerites would not be subordinate to the RF Ministry of Defense.

“Those orders and decrees that Shoigu forms, they apply to employees of the Ministry of Defense and military personnel. PMC "Wagner" will not sign any contracts with Shoigu. PMC "Wagner" is organically built into the overall system, PMC "Wagner" coordinates its actions with the generals on the right, left, with unit commanders. What can happen after this order - we will not be given weapons and ammunition - we will figure it out, as they say, when the thunder strikes, they will come running and bring everything, ”said the leader of the mercenaries.
Prigozhin's Wagner - the best troops in Russian by far - is happy to sit out the Ukrainian offensive and the MoD is desperate to get them into the fight again.

The new currency is ammunition, which is only available in Russia. If Prigozhin can't take control of the supply of ammunition, he will lose this argument. He will then be ordered to appear in Moscow, where he will be arrested.

So... Where are 1.) the Wagner troops now and 2.) the Russian ammo supplies? For Moscow, this is a very loose cannon at a very bad time.

This is like Ohio state making artwork of a positive play against Troy (while the game is still going on) because they’re in Alabama and have some SEC transfers

Location of Levadne, from yesterday's Rybar map:



EDIT: This indicates that there's progress across the entire 20-mile strip on this axis.

Wagner's Grey Zone Telegram:
quote:

So, in continuation of the assumptions made yesterday (LINK based on the information received, today we can EVALUATELY say that the units of the Russian Armed Forces left the settlements of Blagodatnoye and Neskuchnoye in the Zaporozhye direction * in the area of the Vremievsky ledge, but according to * Neskuchny, our side later announced the return of control over it.

According to other information, Neskuchnoye was not only not beaten back, but the enemy moved further to the flank to Storozhevoye, where the RF Armed Forces were forced to withdraw from the settlement under the threat of encirclement. Here it is worth waiting for accurate visual confirmations from one of the parties.

Despite the Wet Yaly River flowing between the villages, the enemy is trying to cut off the Vremyevsky ledge by also advancing and occupying half-empty fields and forest belts in the area of \u200b\u200bNovodaryevka and Levadnoe, which was also occupied by the enemy today.

On the western section of the Zaporizhzhya line of contact, the enemy now completely controls Lobkove, but realizing that in this area there is a height difference and the settlement is in a lowland, he did not go there fully and developed a small success towards the Zherebyanka and Pyatikhatok roads.

Based on this information and digesting in my head the experience gained on the basis of the enemy’s attacks on Balakleya, Kupyansk, Izyum, Liman, as well as squeezing our forces from the right bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region, at the moment I see parallels with the Ukrainian offensive in the Kherson region, and the fighting (flea market) on the Vremievsky site is very similar to the situation on Davydov-Brod. I will assume that at this time we should expect the accumulation of equipment and personnel in the area of ??the main enemy strike, which, by the way, it is possible that it will be carried out at the junction of our military formations.
