Ukraine News: Kiev forces suffered heavy losses in a counterattack
But: in Zaporizhia, the Armed Forces of Ukraine seem to be making no progress. On the contrary: you will probably have to accept sensitive losses. Namely, they are losing rows and rows of battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles supplied from the West. Obviously, among them are the Leopard 2 main battle tanks from Germany.
As reported by various media, incl Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ)Heavy fighting is said to be raging, particularly in Zaporizhia region near the small town of Tokmak. Videos are increasing on Twitter, apparently deliberately distributed by the Russian side via Telegram, aimed at documenting the dropping of Western military equipment belonging to Ukraine.
Moreover, Russia says it has captured several German Leopard tanks and American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. “These are our trophies,” the Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday (June 13) and posted a video on the Telegram online service with captured and damaged tanks. According to the information, it is equipment for the Ukrainian army in the Zaporizhia region. There are growing indications that the information from Moscow is indeed correct this time around.
Ukraine’s Counterattack: Russian Soldiers Allegedly Captured Bradley and 'Leo’
Several videos shared on Twitter are also said to show how the Ukrainian military used a modern German Leopard 2-A6, at least five American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, two or three American MaxxPro armored personnel carriers and a mine-clearing tank in one. Progress there was lost by Soviet design.
Moscow said the tanks, apparently abandoned by fleeing soldiers, are now being checked. Video, apparently from the site, shows the engine still running in one of Bradley’s parked vans. The German „Leo” can also be recognized without a doubt.
And that’s not all: according to the analysis portal „ORYX”, only the 47th brigade „Majora” of the Ukrainian army lost seven Leopard 2 tanks and 17 Bradley fighting vehicles, while a military expert nevertheless warned of the possibility of an imminent offensive. A large-scale offensive by Ukraine on a sector of the front calculates and The bombing of the Kakhovka Dam, the counterattack on Chersonesos slowed down in the far south of the country. Attractive: loud SZ The Armed Forces of Kiev have only 21 modern „Leos”. British Challenger 2s, 14 of which London handed over to the Ukrainians, have yet to be seen on the battlefield.
Ukraine War: Russian army stops Ukrainian forces in Zaporizhia
Striking: If the Oryx report is correct, Kiev also loses several western vehicles in Donbass within a very short period of time, which cannot be independently verified. But: the mechanized brigade „Majora” with soldiers from Kiev, Dnipro, Odessa and Lemberg should yell loudly Kyiv Post Operates offensively with foreign battle tanks in Donbass. Although the Ukrainian armed forces are advancing there, or precisely because of this, and the encirclement of the remaining Russian forces in Bakhmut, which the chief of Wagner’s mercenaries Yevgeny fears, is at least indicated on the map, the losses on the Ukrainian side are probably sensitive here. also.
However, Zaporizhia with its nuclear power plant (NPP) is currently the focus of Ukraine’s war. Another shot of the combat there with a drone aims to document how a Russian Lancet Kamikaze drone hits a Leopard 2 main battle tank. The footage circulating on Telegram cannot be independently verified, but appears real as the tank is shown from multiple perspectives. before hitting the flying object. It is not known exactly where the recordings were made.
Ukrainian counterattack: Russian forces destroy Leopard 2 tanks
Around the end of the week, the Russian Defense Ministry released drone images purported to show the first Leopard 2 main battle tank being burned. Among other things, the RTL / n-tv verification team confirmed that it should have been a recent „Leo”. Also, the Ukrainians may have lost several MaxxPro armored personnel carriers.
On Tuesday (June 13) it became known that the 33rd Armored Brigade of the Ukrainian Army lost three Leopard-2R mine-proof vehicles donated by Finland in one fell swoop. Pictures circulating on Twitter are said to show how the vehicles ran into a Russian minefield. Remarkable: Finland delivered a total of four armored demining vehicles to Ukraine.
Ukrainian counterattack: Russian minefields stop Kiev tanks
Mines, improved drone reconnaissance, lack of air support for Ukrainian armored units, the threat of kamikaze drones – huge problems emerge that pose enormous challenges for Kiev’s forces. It is unclear why the small armored divisions of apparently ten vehicles advanced unprotected across open fields. It can be assumed that the Ukrainians just sent forward the aforementioned demining tanks, sometimes surrounded only by „leu”, to plow the lanes in the Russian minefields. They didn’t get away.

China is angry: The US destroyer USS Halsey entered Chinese territorial waters „without permission.” The US Navy waves it off.
BEIJING – Against the backdrop of increasing tensions in the South China Sea China On Friday, the United States responded with sharp words to the passage of a US Navy ship near a group of disputed islands. Military spokesman Tian Junli said on Friday that “the US actions seriously violate China’s sovereignty and security.” Thus, the United States creates “security risks in the South China Sea” and is “the greatest destroyer of peace and stability in the region.”
According to military spokesman Tian, the missile destroyer USS Halsey entered Chinese territorial waters near the Xisha Islands “illegally and without permission from the Chinese authorities.” „Xisha Islands” is the Chinese term for the Paracel Islands. China sent naval and air forces to „track and monitor” the ship „in accordance with laws and regulations” and „issued an alert to redirect it away.”
Tensions in the South China Sea: US confirms passage of USS Halsey
The US Navy confirmed the ship’s passage, saying it „asserted navigational rights and freedoms in the South China Sea near the Paracel Islands.” “Unlawful and extensive maritime claims in the South China Sea pose a serious threat to freedom of the seas,” she said.
China has established a number of military bases on the Paracel Islands, although Vietnam and Taiwan also claim sovereignty over the island chain. The United States and its allies frequently send warships to the region to bolster their claim to freedom of passage.
Meanwhile, Taiwan’s air force conducted a military exercise in the Penghu Islands, which are located a few kilometers from the Chinese coast and are administered by Taiwan. Several fighter jets fired live ammunition, including missiles and US-made laser-guided bombs, according to video footage distributed by Taiwan’s military news agency. These were „routine training” for fighter pilots in which they practiced their „skills in precision strikes in air combat.”
The exercises come ten days before the inauguration of Taiwan’s new president, Lai Ching-te, who won the elections last January and whom Beijing describes as a „dangerous separatist.”
China increases its pressure on Taiwan
China views Taiwan as a breakaway province that should be reunited with the mainland – by military force if necessary. In recent years, China has increased its pressure on Taiwan, regularly sending fighter jets and warships near the island.
Meanwhile, the Philippines and the United States concluded joint military exercises in areas near disputed maritime areas. Exercises Balikatan („Shoulder to Shoulder” in the language widely spoken in the Philippines, Tagalog) began on 22 April and also involved one hundred Australian soldiers. (AFP)

Graves containing hundreds of bodies were found near Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis and Al-Shifa Hospital in recent weeks. The UN Security Council is now demanding that investigators be given unfettered access to conduct an investigation.
The UN Security Council in New York demands clarifications about the mass graves discovered in the Gaza Strip. The United Nations said, „Members of the Security Council stressed the need for accountability for violations of international law and called for allowing investigators unhindered access to all mass grave sites in Gaza.”
The UN’s most powerful body has been deeply concerned about the discoveries since the end of April. Graves containing several hundred bodies have been found near Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis and Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City in recent weeks.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, was horrified at the time and called for an independent investigation into the deaths. Hospitals enjoy very special protection under international humanitarian law. According to Türk’s office, which cited information from Civil Defense, which is controlled by the armed Hamas movement, some of the bodies had their hands bound.
Israel denies these accusations
The European Union also called for an independent investigation. Peter Stano, spokesman for European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, said: “This is something that prompts us to demand an independent investigation into all suspicions and all circumstances.” The impression was created that “violations of international human rights may have occurred.”
The Israeli side said that the allegations that Israeli forces buried the bodies of Palestinians there were baseless. Israeli soldiers only examined the bodies in the grave, looking for Israeli hostages.

Delay due to breakdown
The Bushman government plane returns to the parking lot

German government aircraft are notoriously prone to breakdowns. Now a technical problem spoils the Federal Minister of Justice’s return flight from Venice shortly before the weekend. Its mechanism must return to the parking position. An hour delay is expected.
Federal Minister of Justice Marco Bushmann and his accompanying delegation were initially unable to leave Venice after the conclusion of the G7 Justice Ministers’ meeting. The reason for this was a technical problem with a government plane. The Minister and his accompanying delegation learned that a delay of several hours was expected after the Global 5000 aircraft was forced to return to the parking lot shortly before its scheduled takeoff at noon. The return flight to Germany was scheduled for early evening with a replacement plane that was supposed to come from Cologne. The exact cause of the collapse is not yet known.
At a meeting in Venice, justice ministers from G7 countries discussed how judicial authorities can use artificial intelligence in a legally safe way. According to the participants, the topic of the two-day meeting in Italy was also the question of where the boundaries for the use of machine learning and robotics should be formulated.
Collapses, collapses, collapses…
Malfunctions on government aircraft are not uncommon. Last year, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock had to cancel a government trip to Australia, New Zealand and Fiji over one.
At the end of 2018, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was involved in a serious accident when she was on her way to the G20 summit in Argentina on the Konrad Adenauer government plane. A faulty component – a central switching unit in the plane’s onboard electronics – paralyzed two radio systems that are supposed to replace each other in emergency situations. The plane that took off from Berlin had to turn back.
After a general repair of the government plane for four months, another malfunction occurred on the first official flight in April 2019. After a nine-hour flight from Berlin to New York with Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas on board, a tire exploded during landing so that the Airbus A340 was unable to reach Parking on its own. It is now known that the Konrad Adenauer government plane, which has become known as the Breakdown Plane, will be scrapped.
