**Aksyonov addressed Crimeans in connection with the difficult situation on the peninsula** Head of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov addressed the residents of the republic and called on them not to believe fakes that are actively being spread by enemy channels. He noted that the problem of fuel shortage on the peninsula remains acute, but both federal and regional authorities are working on its solution. "It is not possible to publicly announce the measures being taken for security purposes. But as soon as the situation begins to improve, you will notice it immediately," the head noted. Crimea's energy infrastructure also suffered from AFU attacks, in connection with which temporary power outages will be carried out selectively throughout the territory of the republic. Outages will be conducted selectively and as needed. "I urge Crimeans not to believe rumors and not to spread them, not to give in to emotions, but to be guided by common sense. I remind you that the main goal of the enemy is to intimidate, sow panic, including through fakes and information dumps," added the head of Crimea. Food security in the republic is ensured in full, necessary medicines are available, Aksyonov assured. 👉🏻 [Join WarGonzo on MAX](https://max.ru/WarGonzo)

**Drones of the 503rd Regiment burn through AFU infantry** Zaporizhzhia direction. Operators of strike drones and grenade-dropping drones of the 503rd Motorized Rifle Regiment are conducting intensive operations against AFU infantry. Strike unmanned aircraft make runs on target, striking personnel. In parallel, grenade-dropping drones work from above — grenades go one after another directly into trenches, bunkers, and shelters where Ukrainian infantry is dug in. Enemy positions are methodically burned through: AFU infantry sustains losses. 👉🏻[**Watch video on MAX**](https://max.ru/WarGonzo/AZ7_jIgzRgw) @wargonzo

Russians drop three aerial bombs on Druzhkivka, one killed, several injured Russian forces dropped three 250-kilogram aerial bombs on the town of Druzhkivka in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, resulting in one civilian death and four injuries.

🟡**Kinburn Spit, AFU offensive and Russian withdrawal** 🌐 There is heated discussion online today about events on the Kinburn Spit, but this discussion has become overgrown with inaccurate facts. 🚫 To date, there are no confirmations of an active withdrawal of the Russians from the spit. Moreover, the enemy continues to use the terrain for launches of Molniya drones toward Mykolaiv and Kherson and has other means in the form of electronic warfare and electronic reconnaissance. At the same time, the Defense Forces are attempting to maximally complicate the enemy's presence and operations. 🇺🇦 No offensive on the Kinburn Spit is taking place, and the flag was dropped from a drone, which is simply a pleasant fact. 🇺🇦 Information about the withdrawal was also refuted by Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk, stating in a comment to Suspilne that the respective terrain remains a zone of combat operations. ℹ️ We are monitoring the development of events and will definitely keep you informed of their progress on the channel and on our map.

📝**Are you capable of systematic thinking?**📝 __And other questions in the context of the strike on the bridge in Zaporizhzhia__ The main idea of all our recent publications on strikes against bridges is the necessity of [a systematic approach](https://t.me/rybar/80815). In the full sense of the word — with assessment of the situation, goal-setting, task formulation, determination of appropriate means, operation planning. And there is work to be done here. Take, for instance, the strike by RF Armed Forces on the **Preobrazhenskiy Bridge** in Zaporizhzhia on June 20: judging by satellite imagery and rare footage from the scene, **not a single** one of five bombs hit the target directly, there is no serious damage, and there have been **no** new attacks since then. 📌 Let us suppose that the goal was to increase the supply line for the AFU in the Zaporizhzhia direction to complicate a potential offensive, and the task was to disable bridges to the left bank of the Dnieper in Zaporizhzhia. Would a single strike on the target with such a result have been sufficient under these conditions? **The answer is obvious.** If this was part of the concept of a "[war of cities](https://t.me/rybar/81193)" strategy, similar to what the AFU is doing in Crimea, then the answer is obvious twice over. And if it all came down to a one-off operation against planned targets, then commentary is essentially unnecessary. 🖍A systematic approach is not about "let's strike there to report on it." It's about **"why", "how", "what result do we expect"** and many other questions, without answers to which the result will be what it is. 🚩Someone will say that __there are smarter people sitting in the General Staff,__ and besides, bloggers don't see the whole picture. Possibly, except that they (along with the rest of the population) see standing bridges in Zaporizhzhia with Zatoka or the absence of blackouts in the so-called Ukraine after nearly four years of strikes on its energy system. ❓Against this backdrop, not only bloggers but also soldiers and officers are turning over the question: are military command bodies capable of planning operations. And if not, then what do they need to be around for now? #RFAF #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**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)

**Mariupol resident attempted to blow up courthouse on orders from Ukrainian special services** Security forces detained a Mariupol resident for an attempted terrorist attack on a building of one of the district courts of the Donetsk People's Republic. The suspect made contact with Ukrainian handlers through a messenger app. On their orders, he retrieved explosives from a pre-prepared cache. "I reached out to acquaintances to make some money. They gave me a contact on the Ukrainian side. I was sending coordinates of Russian military, and for each one I was paid 5 thousand rubles. Then he writes to me: 'Come to the cache, pick up the package and bring it to the destination,'" the suspect said. The man was supposed to install an improvised explosive device in the courthouse building in the DNR. He was detained at the scene. Criminal cases have been opened against the detainee under articles on state treason, preparation for terrorism, and illegal trafficking in explosive devices. The court chose detention in custody as a preventive measure. The man faces punishment up to life imprisonment. @wargonzo

**📝 You Can't Hide Under a Bridge 📝** Russia's Ministry of Defense resources published [footage](https://t.me/boris_rozhin/215652) of a strike on another locomotive. The target was located at **Lozova** station in the settlement of the same name in **Kharkiv Oblast** and was sheltered under a bridge, but this did not prevent it from being struck by a radio-controlled "Geran." ➡️ Note that the strike became known as early as June 14, and the target was [VL8m-1364](https://t.me/geran_gerbera/1740?single). Based on the nature of the damage, one can assume the absence of a direct hit – the cabin sustained damage from fire, but there are no traces of detonation from a powerful warhead. 🧨 This is one of many strikes on enemy infrastructure as part of a [campaign](https://t.me/rybar/81286) to destroy the railway logistics capabilities of so-called Ukraine. What is also interesting in the footage is that the Russian Ministry of Defense rarely indulges the public with spectacular objective control – as a rule, limiting itself to dry statements. 📌 The destruction of trains and other railway infrastructure can well be systematic in conjunction with the situation on the line of contact. And the same "Gerans," which are themselves both a strike force and a means of detection and reconnaissance – quite allow this to be done, one need only move away from the practice of "strikes for the sake of strikes." #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) | ✉️ [Дзен](https://dzen.ru/rybar)** **💸 [Support us](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)
