The Ukrainian military is reporting the following Russian losses:
o 214,660 Soldiers (Wounded or Killed)
o 3,909 Tanks
o 7,607 Armored vehicles
o 3,717 Artillery
o 314 Aircraft
o 299 Helicopters
o 3,263 Drones
On June 10th, Russia launched cruise and ballistic missiles and drones against targets in the Kharkiv, Poltava, and Odesa regions:
o Ukrainian forces shot down two cruise missiles and 20 drones.
o Fragments of a destroyed drone hit an apartment building in Odesa killing three civilians and injuring 27 people.
On June 9th, Russia launched four missiles and 10 drones against targets in the Uman, Cherkasy region, and Zviahel, Zhytomyr regions:
o A total of four missiles and 10 drones were shot down.
o Several injuries were reported.
Destruction of the Kakhovska Dam:
o On June 6th, this dam was destroyed. It is located within a Russian controlled area.
o The water levels of the reservoir were at a record high at the time of its destruction, resulting in a particularly high volume of water inundating the areas downstream.
o The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, is 120 kilometers away from the dam:
ü The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is monitoring the situation and reports that there is no immediate risk to the plant.
ü The IAEA Director-General will lead the next rotation of their support and assistance mission.
ü The plant is working to ensure it has enough cooling water in reserve in case it can no longer access the Kakhovka reservoir.
The United Kingdom’s (UK) Ministry of Defense is reporting the following:
o Ukrainian offensive operations:
ü In the last 48 hours significant Ukrainian operations have been taking place in several sectors of eastern and southern Ukraine.
ü In some areas, Ukrainian forces have likely made good progress and penetrated the first line of Russian defenses. In other areas, Ukrainian progress has been slower.
ü Russian performance has been mixed: some units are likely conducting credible defense operations while others have pulled back in some disorder, amid increased reports of Russian casualties as they withdraw through their own minefields.
ü The Russian Airforce has been unusually active over southern Ukraine, where the airspace is more permissive for Russia than in other parts of the country. However, it remains unclear whether tactical airstrikes have been effective.
o Feud between the Russian military and the Wagner Group:
ü For the first time, Wagner’s owner Yevgeny Prigozhin has claimed that the Russian Army has employed deliberate, lethal force against Wagner units. Following an altercation, Wagner has likely detained a Russian army brigade commander.
ü Most of Wagner’s forces have now been withdrawn from Bakhmut. With Russia short of reserve units, the degree to which Wagner remains responsive to the Russian military will be a key factor in the conflict over the coming weeks.
o Use of Iranian Drones in May 2023:
ü Russia launched over 300 Iranian drones against Ukrainian targets.
ü They likely launched so many drones in an attempt to force Ukraine to fire stocks of valuable, advanced air defense missiles.
ü Russia is unlikely to have been notably successful since Ukraine has neutralized at least 90% of the incoming drones using its older and cheaper air defense weapons and with electronic jamming.
ü Russia has also likely been attempting to locate and strike Ukrainian forces well behind the front line. However, Russia remains very ineffective at hitting such dynamic targets at range because of its poor targeting processes.
On June 9th, the U.S. Department of Defense announced a new security assistance package. This packet includes the following:
o Additional munitions for Patriot air defense systems
o HAWK air defense systems and missiles
o 105mm and 203mm artillery rounds
o Puma Unmanned Aerial Systems
o Laser-guided rocket system munitions
o Support for training, maintenance, and sustainment activities.
