The Ukrainian offensive in the area of South Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Artemovsk kicked off on June 4, with the main attack of the Kiev regime's forces concentrated in the Zaporozhye Region.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released video footage from a reconnaissance drone showing the advance of a Ukrainian armored group toward Russian positions and then the detonation of at least five vehicles on Russian minefields, with at least two other vehicles already damaged, presumably from traversing over earlier mines.
Ukraine's much-touted counteroffensive kicked off in early June after months of delays over a lack of military supplies from Western donors. The Russian Defense Ministry said Ukrainian troops kept trying, but were failing to advance. A number of Western media outlets also noted the poor results of Kiev's counteroffensive, in addition to Zelensky himself admitting that progress was "slower than desired."

Russia's Ka-52 helicopter is a combat chopper designed for all-weather and day-and-night conditions. This state-of-the-art hovercraft is equipped with the latest avionics and weapons systems, making it an effective platform for a range of missions, including reconnaissance, close air support, and anti-armor operations.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released a video clip of a Russian Ka-52 helicopter hammering a Ukrainian armored personnel carrier headed toward South Donetsk.
The ministry's video includes footage of the helicopter's sighting system, the acquisition of the target, the launch of a guided missile and the armored vehicle being blasted to bits by the strike.
"Direct hit!" - one of the Ka-52 crew members radioed after pummeling the target.
