Saudi Arabian TV channel Al Hadath reportedly stated on June 27 on air that Russian military police detained the head of Wagner’s branch in Suwayda, Syria, and three other “high-ranking” Wagner commanders at the Hmeimim Air Base and visited Wagner offices in Damascus, Hama, and Deir ez Zor.

On 24 June, air defence forces of the Wagner private military company reportedly shot down Russian military helicopters and an Ilyushin Il-22M airborne command post aircraft.

The Il-22M is part of a relatively small fleet of up to 12 aircraft, heavily utilised for both airborne command and control, and radio relay tasks. These special mission aircraft have played a key role in orchestrating Russian forces in their war against Ukraine.

As high value assets they have operated within the safety of Russian airspace, far beyond the range of Ukrainian air defence systems.

The loss of this aircraft is likely to have a negative impact on Russian air and land operations. In the short term the psychological shock of losing a large number of aircrew in this manner will almost certainly damage morale within the Russian Aerospace Force.

In the longer term, there is a possibility that current tasking levels may have to be reduced to safely manage the remaining fleet. This will likely undermine Russia's ability to command and coordinate its forces, particularly during periods of high tempo operations.

The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 29.06.23 were approximately:

• personnel - about 227780 (+680) people were liquidated,
• tanks - 4038 (+2) units
• APVs - 7857 (+10) units
• artillery systems - 4116 (+27) units,
• MLRS - 627 (+0) units,
• air defense systems / Anti-aircraft warfare systems - 388 (+1) units
• aircraft - 315 (+1) units
• helicopters - 308 (+0) units,
• UAV operational-tactical level - 3513 (+14),
• cruise missiles - 1261 (+0),
• ships / boats / warships / boats - 18 (+0) units,
• vehicles and fuel tanks - 6780 (+6) units,
• special equipment - 569 (+6) units.

Early on the morning of 22 June 2023, Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the Chonhar road bridges between the Crimean Peninsula and Russian-occupied Kherson Oblast.

These bridges service one of two main road supply routes between Crimea and Kherson.

The route over the Chonhar bridges are the most direct route from Russia’s Crimean logistics hub at Dzhankoi and the Zaporizhzhia sector, where Russia is currently defending against a major Ukrainian offensive.

The temporary closure of the route caused vital Russian logistics convoys to take at least 50% longer to reach the front via alternative routes.

Reports indicate that Russian authorities almost certainly constructed a pontoon bridge replacement crossing withing 24 hours of the attack; it is highly likely that crossings are limited to military traffic only.

The speed with which an alternate crossing was constructed indicates how vital this route is to the Russian military efforts in occupied Ukraine.

The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 28.06.23 were approximately:

• personnel - about 227100 (+930) people were liquidated,
• tanks - 4036 (+0) units
• armored personnel carriers - 7847 (+13) units
• artillery systems - 4089 (+6) units,
• MLRS - 627 (+1) units,
• air defense systems / Anti-aircraft warfare systems - 387 (+1) units
• aircraft - 314 (+0) units
• helicopters - 308 (+0) units,
• UAV operational-tactical level - 3499 (+7),
• cruise missiles - 1261 (+0),
• ships / boats / warships / boats - 18 (+0) units,
• vehicles and fuel tanks - 6774 (+2) units,
• special equipment - 563 (+0).

Footage published on June 26 shows relatives of mobilized personnel from Stavropol Krai appealing to krai governor Vladimir Vladimirov for better treatment of their relatives. The relatives claimed that Russian military commanders send mobilized personnel into battle without ammunition and threaten to kill them if they refuse to conduct attacks.

The letter claimed that Russian authorities promised higher compensation to those who already fought in Ukraine but have only paid these personnel their basic salaries, while new recruits are not paid at all. The letter also claimed that the Russian MoD denied one volunteer the promised one-time 195,000-ruble (about $2,310) payment for signing an 11-month contract and told him that he would need to sign another year-long contract to receive the money.

Ukrainian Airborne forces have made small advances east from the village of Krasnohorivka, near Donetsk city, which sits on the old Line of Control.

This is one of the first instances since Russia’s February 2022 invasion that Ukrainian forces have highly likely recaptured an area of territory occupied by Russia since 2014.

Recent multiple concurrent Ukrainian assaults throughout the Donbas have likely overstretched Donetsk People’s Republic and Chechen forces operating in this area.

As part of its broader counter-offensive, Ukraine has gained impetus in its assaults around Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast.

In a multi-brigade operation, Ukrainian forces have made progress on both the northern and southern flanks of the town.

There has been little evidence that Russia maintains any significant ground forces operational level reserves which could be used to reinforce against the multiple threats it is now facing in widely separated sectors, from Bakhmut to the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, over 200km away.
