Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 11 JUN 2023 14:10 PDT - Velkya Novosilka Update - Ukraine Gains (Patreon)

Ukrainian forces have confirmed gains made over the last five days and made significant progress in the last 36 hours. Moving from west to east.

Levadne: Liberated. We mapped the settlement as liberated earlier in the week.

Novodarivka: Open-source intelligence and geolocated videos and pictures imply Ukraine has liberated. We have moved the line of conflict but keep the settlement contested, awaiting confirmation.

Rivnopil: Videos and pictures indicate Ukraine has liberated as they show they are past the village to the west, but there are no videos from within Rivnopil. We've moved the line of conflict but keep it contested. Highly likely under Ukrainian control.

Neskuchne: Liberated, as reported in the June 10 Situation Report.

Storozheve: Liberated. We were surprised that Ukrainian and Russian sources claimed it was still under Russian control on June 10 because it was encircled. Russian forces withdrew.

Blahodatne: There are two Blahodatnes with news today - this is the one by Velkya Novosilka. Liberated. Reported in the June 10 Situation Report.

Makarivka: Liberated. Announced by Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Maliar, and this one is interesting. Ukraine has a policy of not announcing an area liberated until it is under full military control and troops have cleared the settlement and dug in. Typically, these types of official announcements mean Russian troops feel back 5 or more kilometers.

Urozhaine: Ongoing fighting with Russian sources calling it a "very difficult" situation.

Ukrainian forces have liberated 83 square kilometers since June 5 south of Velkya Novosilka.
