Ukrainian soldiers shell a Russian base that erupts into flames

Ukrainian soldiers shell a Russian base that soon erupts into flames.

The Ukrainian Centre for Strategic Communications (StratCom) said the attack was carried out by members of the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Ivan Sirko, a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.

The Ukrainian military said they “demilitarized the racists” during the attack on the enemy base.

StratCom said on 8th June: “The 92 OMBr, named after Kosh Ataman Ivan Sirko, demilitarized the racists.”

Russian troops invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is still calling a "special military operation". Today marks the 105th day of the campaign.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has reported that between 24th February and 8th June, Russia had lost 31,500 personnel, 1,393 tanks, 3,429 armoured fighting vehicles, 703 artillery pieces, 213 multiple launch rocket systems, 96 anti-aircraft systems, 212 warplanes, 178 helicopters, 559 tactical unmanned aerial vehicles, 125 cruise missiles, 13 warships, 2,406 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 53 units of special equipment.

More than 1,000 Ukrainian troops captured in Mariupol have been transferred to Russia, according to Russian media.

Satellite imagery has shown significant damage in the key eastern Ukrainian city of Sievierodonetsk, where heavy fighting is ongoing.

The Ukrainian military said that Ukrainian positions had come under "intense fire" around Avdiivka, Novopavlivska and Zaporizhzhia.

It added that storming operations were underway around Slovyansk and that Russia had also intensified its aircraft use around Bakhmut.

The Ukrainian Centre for Strategic Communications (StratCom) said on 6th June that Russian Major General Roman Kutuzov was killed in a battle near Popasna in the Luhansk region. This has now been confirmed by Russian state media.

The United Kingdom and the United States have announced that they are sending long-range missile systems to Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned of more attacks in Ukraine if the West sends long-range weapons.
