**📝****Advances on the outskirts of Konstantinovka****📝** Fighters of the Southern grouping of forces on the **Konstantinovka direction** are breaking through the defenses of Ukrainian formations within the city limits. Less and less territory remains under stable enemy control, and clearing operations continue on the outskirts, the opponent loses one house after another. ➡️On the western outskirts, a hospital complex came under the control of the RF Armed Forces, and on the northeastern side — buildings and part of **Gruzskaya balka** on the approaches to **Molocharka** and **Novodmitrovka**. The opponent maintains a presence in the settlements themselves. ➡️The central part of **Konstantinovka** remains a place of mutual clashes of small groups. The opponent is prolonging the defense, clinging to the northern outskirts, but will no longer be able to hold the city. The zone of presence of assault groups is already approaching **Alekseyevo-Druzhkovka**, which inspires cautious optimism. ➡️Ukrainian formations have suffered considerable losses in transport and personnel, attempting to saturate the defensive lines in this direction. For some time they gained this by reinforcing the southern flank of **Druzhkovka**, and the battle for **Konstantinovka** itself is not yet over. ❗️Increasingly frequent claims that the AFU will soon "abandon" **Konstantinovka** against this backdrop look extremely dubious hype. The forthcoming liberation of the city is ensured by months of painstaking work on disrupting logistics and the heroism of the assault units of the Southern grouping. 📌 Absurd stories about the AFU's readiness to flee have backfired more than once, and boastful talk about the "abandonment" of one or another settlement is at minimum disrespectful to the RF Armed Forces fighters who have already been conducting fierce assault operations for **more than eight months**. __If you have additions on the situation, you want us to highlight the successes of your unit — you can always write to us in the feedback bot ____@rybar_feedback_bot__ 📍[**High-resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/QFcxGdYz/10.jpg) 📍[**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/5hwPtFDq/10.jpg) 📍Online maps available by subscription at map.rybar.ru #digest #map #Russia #Slavyansk #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)

10 killed, 48 injured in Russian strikes across Ukraine over past day as family killed in Sumy Oblast drone attack Russia launched 89 Shahed-type attack drones overnight on June 22, Ukraine's Air Force said. Air defenses shot down 79 drones, while nine struck targets at six locations.
**A new scourge has appeared in Donetsk** Last night, heavy quadcopters flew over the city and dropped M433 fragmentation-cumulative rounds of NATO design. One civilian vehicle is known to have been destroyed. Air defense crews worked actively to engage them, but their fire was hampered by the low altitude of the drones, which were moving at the level of the 12th–15th floors of residential buildings. One such drone was shot down by machine gun fire in the Voroshilovskiy district. Two more were later discovered by local residents on the roof of a building, where they apparently were planning to wait for the next night to continue their hunt. Accordingly, the copters were launched, most likely also from inside the city by a sabotage group of the enemy. Dear Donetsk residents, be vigilant and careful! The enemy is among us and literally above our heads. 👉🏻[Join WarGonzo on MAX](https://max.ru/WarGonzo)

**Dobropoľ Salient** Drone operators of the [33rd Guards Motor Rifle Regiment](https://t.me/dva_majors/83222) continue the struggle for air superiority in the unit's area of responsibility. ✨ In the video, fighters of the reconnaissance platoon, while conducting aerial reconnaissance, identified an enemy heavy drone equipped with ammunition for dropping. After detecting the target, an interceptor drone was launched into the air. The enemy drone was destroyed before it could reach the firing line. ⭐️ The air situation in this direction remains tense. Therefore, drone operators not only conduct reconnaissance and identify targets, but also daily hunt for enemy drones, protecting their comrades on the ground. ✨⭐️ The 33rd Regiment has more than once demonstrated a high level of training of its units. Competent work by commanders and professionalism of fighters allow them to act effectively both on the ground and in the air.
