**▶**** **[**June 22 Summary**](https://rutube.ru/video/6f2b113fefc0d038680da28c411401a3/) __video briefing from project lead __@rybar__ Mikhail Zvintchuk specially for __@SolovievLive In **Great Britain**, the seventh prime minister has changed in the last 10 years. **Keir Starmer** announced his resignation, listing a questionable list of "achievements" as a parting gift. The main competitor has already dropped out of the race — the race could turn into a "coronation" of **Andy Burnham**. In **Europe**, the course has been set toward militarization. Countries in the northern part of the continent together with the Balts are assembling their own defense-technology alliance. **Poland's** leadership took the Order of the White Eagle away from **Zelensky**, and in **Kyiv** they responded with a demonstrative return of awards. In the **SVO** zone, the "South" grouping is hacking through AFU defenses in **Konstantinovka**, driving out the enemy house by house. Strikes were delivered against a railway train and fuel infrastructure. The Ukrainian trail has reached **Taiwan**: local NGOs are teaching civilians to operate UAVs. In the **USA**, people are massively suing **AI giants**. Living under the constant hum of data centers is becoming unbearable. In the Middle East, **Tel Aviv** authorities are trying to push through their conditions via pro-Israel lobbying in **Trump's** circle. And delegations from Iran and the USA in **Switzerland** have already agreed on the first steps toward a final agreement. On Starmer's resignation, the flight of Ukrainians from country 404, successes of the RF Armed Forces on the Konstantinovka direction, and the results of negotiations between the USA and Iran — in the new episode of [**"Rybar's Breakdowns — Summary of the Day"**](https://rutube.ru/video/6f2b113fefc0d038680da28c411401a3/). #digest #breakdown #broadcasts **✈**** **[**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)

📝**Chronicle of the Special Military Operation** 📝 __For June 22, 2026__ 🧨RF Armed Forces units have again delivered a series of strikes in the front-line zone, concentrating on the destruction of enemy targets in the near rear. In several regions of so-called Ukraine, power supply disruptions have been noted; an oil depot has been struck in **Dnipropetrovsk** **oblast**. Ukrainian formations have again delivered a massive drone strike against targets in **Crimea**, with the majority intercepted by air defense. Several dozen aircraft were launched toward **Moscow**; in **Dubna** the target was the **Space Communications Center**. In **Voronezh**, one of the enterprises came under rocket and air strike; five people were killed, city authorities reported several dozen people seeking medical assistance. ➡️On the **Lyman** **direction**, Russian units of the "West" grouping are advancing within the city boundaries, expanding the zone of control on the southern outskirts. The enemy maintains high activity in the **Redkodub** area, although it has lost two more crossings over the **Oskol** river in the **Yaremovka** and **Oskol** areas. ➡️On the **Konstantinovsk** **direction**, units of the "South" grouping are clearing the outskirts of **Konstantinovka**, maintaining encirclement of AFU units blocked in the city center. Fighting is taking place in the northwest of the city, the front is shifting toward **Alekseyevo-Druzhkovka**. 📎 **High-resolution maps:** **🔸Situation in the special military operation zone (**[**ru**](https://i.ibb.co/DHbkQnsc/22-06-1.jpg)**; **[**en**](https://i.ibb.co/zTJSNZNq/22-06-1.jpg)**) 🔸Lyman direction (**[**ru**](https://i.ibb.co/4RYkjJKw/07.jpg)**; **[**en**](https://i.ibb.co/dJB0rDng/07.jpg)**) 🔸Konstantinovsk direction (**[**ru**](https://i.ibb.co/qF4b8xyj/10.jpg)**; **[**en**](https://i.ibb.co/v6K46x2b/10.jpg)**) **📍 **Online maps available by subscription at **[**map.rybar.ru**](https://map.rybar.ru/) #digest #Zaporizhzhia #map #Crimea #LNR #Odesa #Russia #Ukraine #Kharkiv **✈**** **[**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)

🟡 Situation in the Lyman area ℹ️ Recently, there has been much discussion and questions about Lyman. In particular, there are reports of strikes recorded in the eastern part of the city, which logically suggests that the Russians are infiltrating there. Increased activity against the city has been ongoing for some time, and given the successes of the Muscovites in Kostiantynivka, Lyman is becoming an increasingly important target. And numerical superiority combined with low density of defensive positions is causing enemy infiltrations, which is hardly news anymore. 🏹 However, it is worth noting certain details that will help better understand the situation. The largest zone of enemy activity and control is the red and gray zone of the Sribna forestry. They move there, hide, entrench, and from there attempt to push deeper. In Lyman itself, as before, there is ongoing activity and reports of strikes in the eastern outskirts, which is marked in yellow and has a corresponding gray zone. There were also reports of strikes in the blue zone, but they are not yet systematic, so there is no reason for a gray zone yet. Ukrainian pilots are doing well with the disposal of Russian garbage that is being sent to slaughter. 🔴 However, the situation in Yampil and Ozerne is extremely concerning. We hope that higher command will pay attention to this sector and take appropriate action so that we do not lose a bunch of people for nothing. 📍 We are monitoring the situation on this sector and will definitely keep you informed of all changes!

**Velykobourluk Direction** UAV operators of the 1st Motor Rifle Regiment of the Strategic Rocket Forces shared footage of our front-line aviation at work. ✨ In the video — objective control of an aviation strike on an enemy fortified area. By the way, the drone that recorded the FAB impacts and their consequences was handed over to the fighters thanks to public assistance during [a recent collection for their unit.](https://t.me/dva_majors/94808) ⭐️ Aviation work remains one of the most effective means of striking such targets, especially when the strike is preceded by quality reconnaissance and the results are confirmed by objective control assets. ✨⭐️ This time the drone's lens captured truly impressive footage of work on enemy positions at 00:25.

**Voronezh. Governor:** We suffered extremely heavy losses today. As a result of a rocket attack on the city, **five people were killed.** **Several dozen citizens sought medical care, but the majority of them were released home after receiving assistance**. The greatest damage was sustained by **an industrial enterprise in the left-bank part of Voronezh,** where a fire broke out. Open flames were extinguished at 16:30. At present the fire is out, but work on clearing debris continues. Representatives of Rospotrebnadzor measured air quality indicators — no exceedances of dangerous substance concentrations were detected. Also, **10 apartment buildings** sustained damage to facades and glazing from falling debris. In the private sector, six houses were damaged — predominantly their roofs were damaged. At present, approximately 50 complaints have also been received regarding vehicle damage. By the established procedure, families of the deceased will be paid 1 million rubles each, and those who sustained serious injuries — 300 thousand rubles each. I have ordered targeted work to be conducted with the families of the deceased. Unfortunately, the attack once again confirmed that recommendations in case of various threats are written in blood. The majority of the enterprise's workers managed to descend into shelters and, despite significant building damage, remained unharmed. Those who ignored the warning about rocket danger were affected — both at the enterprise and on the street.

**📝****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)

**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)

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.
