The last day, Russian troops continued to concentrate on defensive operations in preparation for potential counterattacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south of the country, the USSU American Institute (ISW) says.
reports that in the captured part of the Zaporizhzhya region, Russians are conducting additional regrouping. “The General Staff of Ukraine said that Russian troops additionally deployed a complex of electronic warfare in Melitopol, which will probably contribute to their defensive presence in Zaporozhye and resist the ongoing actions of the partisans,” the Russian BBC service quotes the summary of ISW.
The Institute notes that the Russian authorities continue to deal with difficulties in implementing their programs in the occupied Ukrainian territories. So, on June 9 and 11 in Mariupol, unknown Ukrainian partisans pursued employees of the Russian Emergencies Ministry. The opening of schools in occupied Berdyansk is complicated due to the resistance of Ukrainian teachers who refuse to teach according to Russian programs.
such pro -Ukrainian actions will most likely continue to undermine Russia’s efforts to consolidate full -scale administrative control over the occupied territories and plans of Russian annexation.
