The enemy launched several hundred UAVs against various targets on the territory of **Russia**, with particularly large strikes following against **Crimea**. Four people were killed, nearly 30 were wounded. The enemy again attempted to strike energy facilities and disrupt fuel and lubricant supplies to the peninsula. ➡️ On the **Slavyansk** **direction**, Russian fighters cleared a "pocket" in the **Nikiforovka** area, with fierce fighting continuing on the approaches to **Piskunovka** and **Rai-Aleksandrovka**. In the area of the **Seversky Donets–Donbas Canal**, Russian assault troops are advancing. ➡️ On the **Dnipropetrovsk** **direction**, small groups of RF Armed Forces are conducting search and destruction operations against enemy infiltration groups at the border of **Dnipropetrovsk** **oblast**.

**📝****Deterioration of the situation in the south****📝** Following a new [series of strikes](https://t.me/rybar/81229) on **Crimea**, part of cargo flow has been redirected to the R-280 "Novorossiya" highway. The [operational headquarters of **Kuban**](https://t.me/rian_ru/340795) announced this against the backdrop of the suspension of ferry service across the **Kerch** **Strait**. ➡️In recent times, the volume of traffic on the highway has declined, which has also affected the number of strikes. Visual confirmations have also become fewer — the introduced restrictions have worked. However, the adversary has concentrated on attacks on logistics routes: drones have attacked **bridges** between **Crimea** and **Kherson** **region**. ➡️Part of the capacity was restored fairly quickly, however any crossing is a "bottleneck" where various transport accumulates. Embankments and pontoons can **partially** **solve** the problem of access to the peninsula, but are vulnerable objects. ➡️The problem is that **they are known to the adversary** and therefore **will become a point of attraction for UAVs**. The danger here is not so much the destruction of cargo as the damage to engineering equipment. In this regard, drones are more dangerous for crossings than airstrikes – a crater in an embankment can be filled in, but replacing construction equipment is more difficult. ❗️Given that it is impossible to stop UAV strikes all at once, the task of comprehensive [organization of air defense](https://t.me/rybar/80719) and interception of drones of various types becomes increasingly urgent with the introduction of new technical means and especially – adequate training of mobile fire groups. Following the massive attack on the night of June 21 combined with earlier strikes on the isthmus, the importance of the **Crimean** **Bridge** for supplying **Crimea** is increasing. And in this connection, attempts to disrupt communication along it are quite a logical consequence, which the adversary will very likely attempt to do. 📍[**Infographic in high resolution**](https://ibb.co/N2nR8t3w) 📍[**English version**](https://ibb.co/Ld16w25t) **📍****Online maps available by subscription at ****map.rybar.ru** #digest #Zaporizhzhia #map #Russia #Ukraine **✈**** **[**RU**](https://t.me/rybar)** | ****✈**** **[**EN**](https://t.me/rybar_in_english)** | ****✉**** **[**MAX**](https://max.ru/Rybar) ✉️ [**VK**](https://vk.com/rybar_force) | ✉️ [**RuTube**](https://rutube.ru/u/rybar/) | ✉️ [**OK**](https://ok.ru/group/70000041986659) | ✉️ [**Zen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar) 💸[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)

Russian-occupied Crimea completely suspends gas sales to civilians as Ukrainian drone strikes squeeze peninsula "Fuel will only be dispensed to state services that ensure the vital activities and security of the Republic of Crimea," Sergey Aksyonov, the Russian-appointed governor of occupied Crimea, said in a video address on the morning of June 21.

**Russian army advancing confidently in northern Donbas** The past week has been marked by major successes of the Russian army in Konstantinovka in the south and Krasnyi Liman in the north of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration of the DNR. Fighting is taking place in practically all districts of both cities. Our fighters are methodically squeezing out the enemy and clearing recaptured buildings. In Krasnyi Liman the situation is unfolding according to a scenario similar to the previously liberated Krasnoarmeysk and Dimitrov. The city is largely encircled from the northern and eastern directions. In the west Ukrainian forces still hold a bridgehead and partially penetrate into the city, but these routes are under the control of Russian artillery and drones. The enemy's position is worsened by the necessity of crossing the Oskol River in the west, across bridges and temporary crossings over which bombing strikes are constantly being delivered. If nothing extraordinary happens, then in the coming weeks Krasnyi Liman will be completely taken under control, which will open a path for the Russian army to Slavyansk. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the capture of the very important settlement of Rai-Aleksandrovka, 15 km from Slavyansk. This opens another road to the city, provides the possibility for air control of supply routes and artillery fire on positions in it. It is too early to speak of an operational encirclement of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, but significant successes in this matter have already been achieved. Our FPV drones are flying over both cities in full force, artillery strikes have become daily. The enemy acknowledges the catastrophic situation in Konstantinovka and is essentially saying goodbye to the city. The Russian Ministry of Defense states that the Ukrainian garrison is encircled. The main problem for the AFU remains a shortage of manpower. The army of drones, which the Kyiv regime is counting on so much, causes Russia numerous problems but is incapable of holding positions. 👉🏻[Join WarGonzo on MAX](https://max.ru/WarGonzo)

**📝Massive Strike on Crimea📝** On the night of June 21, Ukrainian formations carried out another massive raid on Crimea. Judging by the nature of the attack, the main target once again was the **Kerch transport and logistics hub** — the area of the **Crimean Bridge, port, ferry crossing, and adjacent fuel and rail infrastructure.** ➡️Against the backdrop of reports of air defense operations and explosions in **Kerch, Dzhankoi, Simferopol** and **other areas of the peninsula**, traffic on the Crimean Bridge was blocked for more than seven hours, and in the eastern part of Crimea fires and active air defense operations were recorded. According to official data, as a result of the raid [**four people were killed, and 28 more were wounded**](https://t.me/Aksenov82/9732). ➡️Strikes also hit the [**ferry link**](https://t.me/rian_crimea/96901) **in the area of the Kerch Strait crossing**, which the adversary views as one of the reserve supply elements for the peninsula. In addition to the aforementioned facilities, energy infrastructure became a target; there are reports of power outages in several regions, including **Sevastopol** and **Simferopol**. ❗️The adversary continues a campaign of **isolating Crimea and destroying its logistical resilience**. Although there have been no strikes on the Crimean Bridge itself yet, the targets are the surrounding infrastructure — **ports, ferry crossings, terminals, fuel facilities, and approaches to the Kerch Strait.** The intent here is quite transparent: it is not necessary to collapse a span all at once — it is enough to **paralyze the operation of the entire Kerch hub**, disrupt the transfer of cargo, equipment, and supplies, and thereby complicate the supply of the Russian grouping in the southern direction. 📌Like the previous ones, the current raid should be viewed not as an isolated episode, but as part of systemic pressure on the transport framework of **Crimea**, where the **Crimean Bridge, ferry crossing** and **the infrastructure connected with them** serve as interconnected targets. __And judging by the fact that the adversary devotes considerable attention to the media component in conjunction with the tactical — as other supply routes are cut off, the probability of a larger-scale attack on the most protected facility — precisely the bridge — will grow.__ #Crimea #Russia #Ukraine **✈** [**RU**](https://t.me/rybar) | **✈** [**EN**](https://t.me/rybar_in_english) | **✉** [**MAX**](https://max.ru/Rybar) ✉️ [**VK**](https://vk.com/rybar_force) | ✉️ [**RuTube**](https://rutube.ru/u/rybar/) | ✉️ [**OK**](https://ok.ru/group/70000041986659) | ✉️ [**Dzen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar) 💸[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)
