The Moscow-aligned information space is reporting Kremlin troop setbacks amid Russian sources suggesting Ukraine has begun its counter-offensive.
Kyiv has not commented on Russian claims that its long-awaited push to retake captured territory has commenced, but milbloggers have reported on Telegram how Ukrainian troops have used tanks and other armored vehicles in the Zaporizhzhia oblast.
On Thursday, milblogger War Gonzo said that a battle had been ongoing during the night in Orekhov-Tokmak, writing that the Ukrainian side had not made significant progress.
However, the post described how on the Donetsk front where Russian troops had conducted assault operations in Maryinka "the Ukrainian garrison held its positions" and managed to advance in the Vodiane area.
Meanwhile, Russian troops attempted a counterattack near Kleshcheevka, southwest of Bakhmut, which was not successful. The Ukrainian army, backed by artillery, "managed to occupy several new positions on the southwestern approaches to the city."
Russian state media war correspondent Alexander Sladkov wrote on Telegram Thursday that, in the Zaporizhzhia direction, "the enemy is moving forward in waves trying to break through our first line of defense."
He said that Russian forces had destroyed Ukrainian personnel and equipment although regarding Bakhmut, "the enemy was also advancing

I bet Lindsey is excited...... all the death, pain, and suffering purchased by my children who will pay for it the rest of their lives and they don’t even get a vote.
What a bargain!
And Ruth Bader Ginsberg is a workout diva who's going to live forever!
And Baghdad Bob tells us Iraq is running out the Americans!
And Hillary's gonna beat Trump!
“The Moscow-aligned information space“ is reporting. WTH is “the Moscow-aligned information space”? We will revisit this piece of disinfo in a week when, as usual, it turns out to be another shovel full.
It’s pretty obvious what’s happening if you just watch the maps.
1) Ukrainians invade with mechanized infantry into Russian areas.
2) Russians pull back and fire on artillery and tanks as Ukraine moves forwards.
3) Eventually a tank gets blown up on hardtop and progress stops, leading to a killzone where Russia drops a large amount of artillery resulting in additional destruction.
4) Ukrainians retreat.
5) Russia refills previous position and waits for another incursion.
6) Both sides claim victory.
Ukraine is on a roll...first Russia then Eastern Europe. This is all thanks to SOB Biden and the cash confiscated by the criminal central socialist government from exhausted Americans.
Wake up Republicrats and do SOMETHING!
The Ukies are desperate that’s why they had to blow up that dam to slow the Russian advancement.
You are a smart person; first I have seen in a long time on this board to cut through the fog.
Please tell Ukraine’s to negotiate there is no military solution, why do stupid people always in positions of power it is like a sick joke...wasting people’s lives.

The problem is that the Ukrainian upper echelon will remain there until the cash stops flowing. If McCarthy shoots down the next funding package, that will stop the war faster than anything Putin and his army does. Everyone knew this would end mid/late summer because Europe is going into a recession and America will soon follow. There’s just no more hand-greasing money left.
I’m guessing China or Turkey will start talking about brokering a peace deal in late July. NATO will jump in and broker it instead with significant losses of Ukrainian territory which will be sold as a great victory for the West. Then the drums of war will begin to beat against China.
Ukraine’s Multiple Columns Got Destroyed By Russia. Russia Destroyed German IRIS Air Defense Part 1
Yes, the Ukrainians should negotiate with Putin, who has violated every agreement Russia has made with Ukraine and has publicly proclaimed that Ukrainian national identity is a fiction and that Russia needs to restore its historical borders. What possibly could go wrong? 🙄
To add to your list...
DJT is a Russian asset
The vaccines are safe and effective (100%)
Eighty million people voted for Biden
Inflation is transitory
The laptop is Russian disinformation
Poor old Tucker even got contradicted by the Russkies.
This is what happens when Russian TV’s best propagandists are so desperate to avoid accusing their own side of incompetence that they end up pretty much arguing that the dam was blown up probably by Russia for benefit glorious Russia.
Oops.
And Steiner’s attack is driving the Russians right out of Berlin!
Everyone agrees that according to the many satellites pictures shown concerning the dam, there are ZERO signs it was hit by missiles or artillery. ZERO.
Howerve, there are plenty of signs that the dam was blown up from the INSIDE of the generator buildings. All that is under complete russian occupation and control...
Thus, it’s a russian made explosion. The Kremlin is like Al Qaida. A bunch of neo-soviet lunatics.
Wow. The Russian TV are totally disavowing Tucker concerning the dam in this video! Some russians there actually BOASTING about the idea that RUSSIA exploded the dam !
Maybe Tucker is becoming anti Russia now?
It does expose the idiocy of Russian totalitarian propaganda. The talking heads would rather admit to committing a massive war crime than admit to rank incompetence and negligence. Even if they DIDN’T do it deliberately. Less risk of a novichok cocktail / accidental self inflicted multiple head shot / trip out of a seventh storey window.
What does that tell you about the folks who believe everything Russia’s propagandists say?
