The Ukrainian Defence Forces are conducting successful operations in various frontline areas. Over the past 24 hours, there were 23 combat clashes between the defenders and the troops of the aggressor state.

This is stated in the evening report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook on June 12. It is noted that due to the successes of the Ukrainian army and significant enemy losses in manpower, there have been more cases of desertion in the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk region in the Storm-Z assault units of the Russian occupation forces, which are increasingly leaving their combat positions without permission.

In addition, according to the General Staff, about 25 Russian occupiers in Mariupol and Novoazovsk deserted due to the unofficial termination of the leave promised to the occupiers by the Russian military leadership.

Meanwhile, in the flooded Hola Prystan in the Kherson region, the invaders evacuate Ukrainian citizens only after receiving a bribe. At the same time, they destroy passports, birth certificates and other Ukrainian documents. Local residents are relocated to the temporarily occupied Ukrainian Crimea and Krasnodar in the Russian Federation.
