For context, Blahodatne and Neskuchne, which Ukraine appears to have retaken, are shaded in black, and I left markers for Makarivka and Urozhaine, where fighting is reportedly taking place.

As mentioned before, positive developments are happening, visually confirmed now. The situation for russians deteriorates due to ongoing losses. However, reports of a major "breakthrough" through the main defensive line (composed of multiple layers) are premature.

⚡️Official: Russia blows up small dam in area near counteroffensive operations in Donetsk Oblast.

Military spokesperson Valeriy Shershen, said to Ukrainska Pravda on June 11 that Russia had blown up a dam on the Mokri Yaly River in Donetsk Oblast, flooding both banks.

— The Kyiv Independent (@KyivIndependent) June 11, 2023

Blowing dam could be a "legitimate" defensive action here (the reservoir is tiny as well): It may indicate the Russians are seriously rattled about the Ukrainian advance here. And creating a water obstacle works both ways - hindering any Russian counterattack.

Pegov acknowledges some Ukrainian tactical successes and notes that the location of Ukrainian advances is between the AOR for different Russian units.

Wargonzo may be right (I hate saying that), and I think he confirms that Staromlynivka is a trigger point for the commitment of more strategic Russian reserves, in line with Russian defensive doctrine.

The one upside is that this footage is from the same area and same day as the previous Leopard 2 and Bradley loses.

It seems that this is the only major failed counter-attack so Russia is milking it for all it can.
