🎙🇷🇺🇺🇦 Киев потратил всю весну на подготовку к масштабному контрнаступлению на Донбассе и Запорожье. Пытаясь отвлечь ВС России набегами на Белгородскую область, ВСУ готовились нанести удар по направлениям, где Россия соорудила мощную линию обороны. Под давлением Запада с 4 июня Украина вынужденно приступила к проведению контрнаступления. Несмотря на прилагаемые усилия, ВСУ не могут достичь серьезных результатов на фронте. Что бы отвлечь внимание от безуспешных атак, киевский режим разрушил дамбу Каховского водохранилища.
