Ukrainian Armed Forces conduct counterattacks and drive Russians out of firing points – "Khortytsia" operational-strategic group

The situation on the eastern front is quite dynamic. Ukrainian defenders are storming the enemy's positions, launching counterattacks, driving the occupiers out of their defenses and firing points.

This was reported by Nazar Voloshyn, spokesman for the "Khortytsia" operational and strategic group of troops, during a telethon. He also spoke about the availability of ammunition in the Armed Forces.

"The defense forces are storming the enemy's positions, repelling its defensive lines and firing points. We are also carrying out our counterattacks occupying their firing positions and driving them out of their lines. Therefore, the tactical situation is quite dynamic," said Voloshyn.

According to him, in certain areas of the frontline, the Ukrainian military is conducting successful operations, while the enemy has to defend itself.

Voloshyn also noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not experiencing a shell famine. "Everything is learned by comparison," added the spokesman.

"Against the background of the enemy's use of a large amount of ammunition, they used to outnumber us quantitatively, but our Armed Forces outnumber us qualitatively. We spend ammunition wisely, every shell hits the target," he added.

Voloshyn also reported on enemy losses. Thus, yesterday, on June 16, more than 960 occupants, two tanks and 17 armored vehicles, 10 cannons, and mortars, as well as more than 20 units of vehicles and special equipment were destroyed in the eastern operational zone.

In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed 42 shelters and 8 ammunition depots together with the occupiers.

At the same time, according to the spokesperson, the enemy is using air power, dropping guided bombs on Ukrainian territory.

"In May alone, enemy aircraft dropped more than 3,200 guided aerial bombs across Ukraine. And since the beginning of June alone, the enemy army has launched more than 1,050 aerial missiles at the positions of our defenders and peaceful settlements and cities," the spokesman noted.
