**▶**** **[**Summary of June 20**](https://rutube.ru/video/f1c2a46915561e22f5654eed551e4c70/) __video summary from the project lead __@rybar__ Mikhail Zvintchuk specially for __@SolovievLive Russia is importing gasoline by sea from Asia for the first time in a long while. And it is precisely there that a full-scale drone fever is unfolding: the authorities of Taiwan and Japan are adopting the experience of the so-called Ukraine, whose manufacturers are eager to enter the local market. In the **SVO** zone, the outcome of battles is increasingly decided by supply isolation. RF Armed Forces systematically strike enemy transport with drones on the **Konstantinovsk** and **Slavyansk** directions, as a result of which AFU infantry is forced to walk 10-15 km on foot, and supply is maintained by heavy drones, which increasingly fail to reach their destination. In **Europe** there is still no unified line. The leadership of **Bulgaria** is vetoing a new sanctions package for the sake of its refinery. The authorities of **Great Britain** are drowning in internal problems: the judicial system nearly allowed a convicted pedophile into the country, and a crisis has erupted in the labor market. In **Washington** they have launched a purge of intelligence and declassified documents about how they pushed the "natural" origin of COVID-19. In **Latin America** the Americans are bringing the continent under their control, restoring its status as a "backyard." On the drone fever in Asia, the advance of RF Armed Forces, the split in Europe, and the US intelligence purge — in the new episode.

🇺🇦**Zaporizhzhia City: Bridges and Dams** A bombing strike was carried out on the dam and bridge of the Dnipro Hydroelectric Station. It is reported that nine gliding aerial bombs struck. ✨This is a strike after a long pause. Until today, the most serious damage the station sustained was on **March 22 and June 1, 2024.** Then direct hits were recorded on the buildings of HES-1 and HES-2, a fire broke out, machine halls, bridge cranes and part of the equipment were destroyed. The station then completely halted power generation, and the director of "Ukrhydroenergo" noted severe consequences: HES-2 ended up in critical condition, recovery required significant effort and time. **The dam held.** There was no threat of a breach, but traffic on the dam was restricted, and city logistics were reorganized to alternative bridges. Since then, repair and protective work has been ongoing (projects through the end of 2026), but full restoration of capacity has not been achieved. Today's strike again demonstrated the vulnerability of the facility. ✨✨ There is no exact figure for what it would take to completely disable it. The hydroelectric complex was built solidly: 49 support piers, monolithic construction, dam length approximately 760 meters. ⚡️In 1941, to create a breach, Soviet forces used dozens of tons of explosives inside the structure. To destroy the dam itself and completely stop its functioning as a crossing would require a series of precision strikes on key supports and locks—a genuinely difficult task, but **systematic pressure produces a cumulative effect.** **__Reference__**: The Dnipro Hydroelectric Dam is not just about energy. An **automobile bridge** runs across the top of the dam, connecting the left and right banks of the Dnipro directly in Zaporizhzhia. This is **one of the main arteries** for transferring equipment, ammunition, fuel and personnel between the banks. When the main bridges (Preobrazhenskyi, arch bridge, new cable-stayed bridges) are under fire or undergoing repairs, the dam itself becomes a **key alternative route**. Disabling or seriously restricting traffic here significantly complicates maneuvers and lengthens supply routes. ✨The reason for the strikes could be both the need to show a response for the strike on Moscow and military expediency to complicate enemy logistics on the Zaporizhzhia front, where the AFU has retaken the gray zone and settlements held by us over the past six months.

At least 5 dead, 10 injured in Russian bombing in Zaporizhzhia Russian forces launched nine glide bombs on the regional capital, according to preliminary information, Governor Ivan Fedorov said. One victim's body was recovered from the rubble of a destroyed home.
**One of the main bridges across the Dnieper struck?** Probably, literally an hour ago, a bombing strike was carried out on the dam and bridge of the Dnipro Hydroelectric Station in the city of Zaporizhzhia. It is reported that nine guided aerial bombs arrived. If the information is confirmed, then this event would mark a transition of the war to a qualitatively new level of escalation, which Russian political leadership had previously sought to avoid. Bridges across the Dnieper are strategically important objects through which supplies flow to active AFU groupings. Their destruction could have far-reaching consequences that are capable of changing very much. 👉🏻 [Join WarGonzo on MAX](https://max.ru/WarGonzo)

**Enemy strikes cargo and civilian vehicles on the Mariupol — Donetsk highway** The important logistics route between Mariupol and Donetsk remains a zone of heightened danger. The AFU continues to strike along the entire length of the road. Our correspondent [Ekaterina Romanova](https://t.me/Yadernaya_knopka), who found herself directly at the scene of events, reports on the operational situation. While traveling on the highway, drivers and passengers repeatedly have to abandon their vehicles due to enemy fire. Mobile crematoriums operate on a regular basis. The AFU does not limit attacks exclusively to military equipment. There are many burned-out heavy trucks and civilian vehicles on the road. Despite serious threats and high risk, residents continue to use the Mariupol – Donetsk highway for travel. For more details, see our material @wargonzo
