Points of attention

  • According to the British Ministry of Defence intelligence, the Russian occupiers have made a limited breakthrough to the eastern suburb of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region.
  • The Ukrainian military fiercely resists the Russian army in Chasiv Yar, actively repelling enemy attacks in various directions.
  • Unsuccessful attack attempts occur in the Pokrovsk and Vovchansk districts, where the Ukrainian military eliminates the invaders and repels enemy attacks.
  • DeepState's map analysis shows that Russian forces have already captured the village of Ivanivske, but the Ukrainian military is actively resisting their attempts to advance.
  • The tense situation also continues in other areas of hostilities, particularly in the districts of Kramatorsk, Siversk, and other cities of Donbas.

What is known about the situation in the area of Chasiv Yar

British intelligence notes that, most likely, the Russian occupiers also captured Ivanovsk to the southeast of Chasiv Yar.

Currently, fighting is already taking place on the territory of the city, but the Ukrainian military is fiercely resisting the units of the criminal army of the Russian Federation.

British intelligence analysts emphasise that the Russian invaders are probably still on the eastern side of the canal that runs through the city and prevents their further advance.

The Russian occupiers used infantry groups for the offensive and noted numerous losses.

In addition, there are reports of artillery strikes on the city using thermobaric ammunition.

Chasiv Yar is likely to be of value to Russia due to its strategic position on the plateau, as well as its historical use as a logistics hub for the Armed Forces, the British Ministry of Defense explains.

An updated map of the DeepState analytical project on June 11 showed that Russian troops had captured the village of Ivanivske.

Time will work for Ukraine. Putin may incur Trump's wrath

Putin can outdo himself

The Wall Street Journal points out that US President Donald Trump's plans to end Russia's war against Ukraine as quickly as possible have proven unrealistic. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky's team is now waiting for the White House leader to lose patience with dictator Vladimir Putin's antics.

Points of attention

  • Former US Ambassador Daniel Fried highlights that time will work in Ukraine's favor if Trump persists in seeking a quick deal while Putin remains an obstacle.
  • The outcome of the conflict hinges on Trump's response if he feels deceived by Putin's maneuvers, potentially escalating tensions between the US and Russia.

Putin can outdo himself

As the editorial board notes, Ukraine's main goal at the moment is to exit the war without capitulating to Russia and at the same time without giving up its economic independence to the United States by signing an agreement on subsoil resources.

As for Putin, he has not given up on his plans: the Kremlin wants to dominate Ukraine at all costs and prevent its integration with the West.

Against this background, official Moscow is doing everything possible to drag out negotiations with the US. Recently, Russia has even begun to claim that it will not accept the US proposal for a ceasefire, since, they say, the "root causes" of the war are not being addressed.

The current situation was commented on by former US Ambassador to Poland and Atlantic Council fellow Daniel Fried.

According to the latter, Zelensky's team is currently in a more advantageous position, as it is not dictating conditions to Trump and is simply waiting for the US president to lose patience with Putin's antics.

"Time will work in Ukraine's favor if Trump continues to push for a quick deal, and Putin (Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, — ed.) will be an obstacle. If Trump decides he has been fooled, he may react badly," the diplomat stressed.
