I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the 852 day of the war.

Day 852: Jun 24

Today, there is a lot of news from the Kharkiv direction.

Here, desertion has become a major problem for Russian forces, prompting the deployment of penal units to kill everyone who engages in unauthorized retreats. However, Ukrainians have strategically targeted these penal unit headquarters, ensuring that the desertions continue, and further weakening the Russian frontlines.

Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky recently emphasized that the primary objective of Ukrainian forces in the region is to inflict maximum losses on Russian troops. By achieving this, Ukrainian forces aim not only to halt Russian advances but also to gradually reclaim lost territory, ultimately pushing the enemy back across the border. This strategy is designed to weaken Russian capabilities and morale, setting the stage for a sustained Ukrainian counteroffensive and the restoration of control over the territory.

As a direct consequence of the relentless Ukrainian efforts, Russian units deployed along the contact line have suffered significant degradation. The first unit to lose its combat effectiveness was the Russian 7th Motorized Rifle Regiment operating near Lyptsi. Ukrainian military analyst Kostyantyn Mashovets reported that after continuous and costly frontal assaults on fortified Ukrainian positions on the hills north of the settlement, the regiment incurred unsustainable losses. These heavy casualties forced the withdrawal of the 7th Motorized Rifle Regiment from the combat zone for reconstitution

With these units withdrawn, the remaining Russian forces in the region began to suffer from a lack of support, and under intense Ukrainian counterattacks, they started to buckle under the pressure. Previous reports have highlighted increasing numbers of Russian soldiers surrendering under these conditions. However, this was merely the tip of the iceberg, as many more Russian soldiers are too fearful to surrender and instead choose to desert. Significant cases of desertion have been detected in the Lyptsi direction, as confirmed by Ukrainian Kharkiv Group of Forces Spokesperson Yuriy Povkh. The situation has become so critical, with the frontline in the Kharkiv region collapsing, that the Russian command has been forced to take drastic measures, including the introduction of barrier troops to prevent further desertions and maintain order.

Recently, it was confirmed that the Russian Ministry of Defense has transferred elements of the Chechen Akhmat Spetsnaz to the Kharkiv region. Chechen Commander Apty Alaudinov claimed that some of his units are already engaged in active frontline battles. However, Ukrainian Khortytsia Group of Forces Spokesperson Nazar Voloshyn revealed that, in reality, Akhmat forces are serving as blocking units. These specialized disciplinary units are tasked with preventing unauthorized retreats by firing on their own troops if they attempt to withdraw to the international border area. Military analysts have noted that, based on the Akhmat forces' previous actions in other parts of the frontline, their deployment to Kharkiv is likely intended solely for this purpose, rather than for conducting genuine offensive operations.

Interestingly, Ukrainians have strategically exploited this situation by targeting the deployment sites of Chechen forces, thereby ensuring that the chaos and retreat of Russian soldiers continue unimpeded by these punishment squads. Geolocated footage reveals the aftermath of multiple successful airstrikes on Chechen force concentrations, further exacerbating the disarray within Russian ranks. The original uncensored video of this strike can be found on our Telegram channel by following the link in the description.

This escalation has intensified the challenges for Russian commanders, compelling them to urgently seek reinforcements to avoid losing already captured territory and to sustain their offensive efforts. Soon after, reports began to emerge about unspecified Russian units being redeployed from various fronts, including the left bank of Kherson, Chasiv Yar, Pokrovsk, and Kurakhove, as well as from training centers within the Russian Federation. This suggests that the Russians may still be clinging to their goal of establishing a buffer zone in...

When your special forces aren't used offensively but instead against your own troops, you know shit has gone very wrong.

The closest the Chechens have gotten to any combat is as barrier troops, which further angers 🇷🇺 troops who feel like they’re being policed by foreigners who’re equipped + treated better than they are.

That actually is smart. The guys forcing people to engage on the front _are_ the real problem.

Russia went from being the #2 military in the world to
the #2 military in Ukraine to
the #2 military in Russia.

Received my Ukraine flag mug from the online store yesterday. Makes my morning coffee taste like Freedom!

The whole concept and reality of blocking troops is mind-blowing in its cruelty

"All the deserters are dead, so you can start attacking the enemy."
"Hold on, I only kill deserters."
"Hey, a soldier is a soldier, now get moving."
"Well yeah I'm a soldier but I'm not an idiot."

Desertion was also a huge problem in the Russian army during the later years of World War I, as I recall.

Thank you for posting the DATE in the title.

Thanks RFU. This is a very important and comprehenive report and well presented

[adrianlane]

I wonder who is going to be deployed as barrier troops to the retreating Chechnya’s?

[j.m.]

My granfather, an artillery commander on the Mannerheim line on the Karelian Isthmus 1939-40 told how he with the forward observer watched the usual Winter War Stalin-era battalion size meatwave attack formation soldiers falling forward and first wondered why they fell that way given that neither the Finnish infantry nor artillery had assets in the direction needed for that to happen. Then they realized they were watching the NKVD barrier battalion doing their work for them machine-gunning the attacking Soviet battalion from behind.

So the orc 'punishment units' are effectively providing half of a pincer movement eliminating their own troops. That's mad. 😊
This is top-notch reporting, thank you! I've bought a hoodie but as soon as I get paid I'll buy something else. :-)

Thank you, America 🇺🇸. The tools you have sent make a massive difference and, no doubt, are saving Ukrainian lives.

European Allies of Ukraine have now also started to take a closer look at what they can do to help.

Russia underestimates the Collective West's ability to problem solve.

In WWII, the political commisars of the Russian Army were performing the task that the Chechnya troops are now doing.

[yannparis]

Um... one minute... who is going to prevent the retreat of the troops that are preventing the retreat?
