today there are a lot of updates from the bakod direction the most interesting updates come from the southern flank of chasar here the Russians intensified their assaults reinforced their striking groups and attempted to conduct an offensive operation across the canal in hopes of cutting off Ukrainian forces in the canal District after Russian forces Consolidated control over the large Forest to the east of the canal the Russian Commander started devising a new plan the forest provided cover from detect by drones and further fpv drone strikes or artillery strikes so Russians used it to accumulate large forces for two new assault directions the forest enables a decent staging ground for new assault direction to the south of the canal district and for assault towards the Novi District to the west of the canal the Russian plan here was to cross the canal since this particular section of It Is Going Underground providing Russians with stable soil to cross over it afterward the goal of the Russians was to establish positions in another Forest to the west of the canal pipes in order to do this they would need to establish another food hold the reason why Russians want to establish a bridge head here is that it will allow them to covertly accumulate even more forces such a staging ground would enable direct assaults on the Novi residential area to the north of the forest Ukrainian defenses here are not as strong as in the high-rise area as this District consists of only small residential houses which do not give ukrainians powerful firing positions unlike reinforced high-rise buildings these houses are also easier to destroy by artillery which explains why Russians would prioritize assaults on the noi District over the canal District if Russians managed to take the Novi District in further assaults they would effectively cut off the main Supply road to forces in the canal District forcing the ukrainians to withdraw from the area by uppercutting Novi Russians would over the primary Ukrainian defenses of chessar in the canal District which could risk a withdrawal to the western side of the water barrier despite establishing a staging ground Russians encountered a series of major problems the staging ground in the forest is isolated from roads so Russians can only deploy infantry squads to conduct assaults on foot on top of that the Infantry has to walk on foot all the way to the forest such process is timec consuming and it delays Russian respon period buying more time for Ukrainian Defenders moreover the above ground Crossing is in the open between the two forests on each side which would enable the ukrainians to destroy any troops crossing the canal with full-time drawn observation of the movement of troops and Equipment over the canal that isn’t already destroyed ukrainians can deploy and prepare troops in the Novi district for a Russian assault heading their way with Russian infantry being forced to move through a narrow River Valley in an open area on their way to execute combat missions they often ended up being targets of fpv drone strikes furthermore fighting in the western Forest would be Troublesome for the Russians as their vehicles would not be able to move through if we look at the 3D map we can see that the area is not only densely covered with trees but also has a very difficult uneven terrain allowing us to move only on foot such a setting would isolate Russian infantry on the other side without significant Firepower besides it would be increasingly difficult for Russian aircraft to determine the locations of their troops and ukrainians in the dense forest any Glide bomb strike therefore presents a significant risk of Friendly Fire making supporting air strikes very unlikely nonetheless despite all the reasons that made an assault across the canal inadvisable Russians decided to proceed with this offensive operation Ukrainian Fighters reported that Russian sent groups of infantry across the canal and noted that they did not last long during the assaults Russians managed to cross the canal enter the forest and establish positions close to the outskirts of Novi District unfortunately for Russians Ukrainian reconnaissance drone operators quickly mapped the Russian vectors of advancement allowing Ukrainian Ground Forces to organize counterattacks ukrainians leveraged their hidden positions in the forest to Ambush the attackers and cut them off the mainland because of exposure to Dron strikes near the canal Crossing and because the forests allow for ukrainians to set up ambushes Russian troops were quickly encircled and eliminated Ukrainian fighters in the area report that Russian assault groups barely lasted 30 minutes on the other side of the canal later prominent Russian Mill bloggers confirmed that all Russian attempts to break through Ukrainian defenses near the Novi District were unsuccessful ultimately the Russians gave up on their attempts to cross the canal seeing how their attempts to cross the canal and Advance on noi District to cut off Canal District to the east were unsuccessful Russians resorted to assaulting Canal from the front yet again this time Russians attacked the canal district from the south however due to the fact that Russians had to cross a large open field Russian units suffered significant losses in Manpower and Equipment Ukrainian drone operators managed to destroy two bmd 3s and a bmd4 infantry fighting Vehicles one tiger armored car and a t90m tank if you want access to original uncensored combat footage you can find it on our telegram Channel using the link in the description overall Russian forces conducted a disastrous Canal Crossing operation despite the unfavorable setting and premature for such an operation conditions the Russian commanders sent their Elite Airborne to assault the Novi District Ukrainian forces exploited the main Russian weaknesses in the form of the narrow area of advancement cut off Russian forces from supplies and then slowly encircled and eliminated the isolated soldiers it seems like the Russian commanders do not plan to continue with this operation as they have already gone back to the usual costly frontal assaults on the Ukrainian fortifications in the canal District if you’re against the invasion of Ukraine and you want to support the work that I am

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the 831 day of the war.

Day 831: Jun 03

Today, there are a lot of updates from the Bakhmut direction.

The most interesting updates come from the southern flank of Chasiv Yar. Here, the Russians intensified their assaults, reinforced their striking groups, and attempted to conduct an offensive operation across the canal in hopes of cutting off Ukrainian forces in the Kanal district.

After Russian forces consolidated control over the large forest to the east of the canal, the Russian commanders started devising a new plan. The forest provided cover from detection by drones and further FPV drone strikes or artillery strikes, so Russians used it to accumulate large forces for two new assault directions. The forest enables a decent staging ground for a new assault direction to the south of the Kanal district and for assault towards the Novy district to the west of the canal.

The Russian plan here was to cross the canal, since this particular section of it is going underground, providing Russians with stable soil to cross over it. Afterward, the goal of the Russians was to establish positions in another forest to the west of the canal pipes; in order to do this, they would need to establish another foothold. The reason why Russians want to establish a bridgehead here is that it will allow them to covertly accumulate even more forces.

Such a staging ground would enable direct assaults on the Novy residential area to the north of the forest. Ukrainian defenses here are not as strong as in the high-rise area, as this district consists of only small residential houses, which do not give Ukrainians powerful firing positions. Unlike reinforced high-rise buildings, these houses are also easier to destroy by artillery, which explains why Russians would prioritize assaults on the Novy district over the Kanal district.

If Russians managed to take the Novy district in further assaults, they would effectively cut off the main supply road to forces in the Kanal district, forcing the Ukrainians to withdraw from the area. By uppercutting Novy, Russians would overcome the primary Ukrainian defenses of Chasiv Yar in the Kanal district, which could risk a withdrawal to the western side of the water barrier.

Despite establishing a staging ground, Russians encountered a series of major problems.

The staging ground in the forest is isolated from roads, so Russians can only deploy infantry squads to conduct assaults on foot. On top of that, the infantry has to walk on foot all the way to the forest. Such process is time consuming and it delays Russian response period, buying more time for Ukrainian defenders.

Moreover, the above-ground crossing is in the open between the two forests on each side, which would enable the Ukrainians to destroy any troops crossing the canal. With full-time drone observation of the movement of troops and equipment over the canal that isn’t already destroyed, Ukrainians can deploy and prepare troops in the Novy district for a Russian assault heading their way. With Russian infantry being forced to move through a narrow river valley in an open area on their way to execute combat missions, they often ended up being targets of FPV drone strikes.

Furthermore, fighting in the western forest would be troublesome for the Russians, as their vehicles would not be able to move through. If we look at the 3D map, we can see that the area is not only densely covered with trees but also has a very difficult, uneven terrain, allowing us to move only on foot. Such a setting would isolate Russian infantry on the other side without significant firepower. Besides, it would be increasingly difficult for Russian aircraft to determine the locations of their troops and Ukrainians in the dense forest. Any glide bomb strike, therefore, presents a significant risk of friendly fire, making supporting airstrikes very unlikely.

Nonetheless, despite all the reasons that made an assault across the canal inadvisable, Russians decided to proceed with this offensive operation. Ukrainian fighters reported that Russians sent groups of infantry across the canal and noted that they did not last long.

During the assaults, Russians managed to cross the canal, enter the forest, and establish positions close to the outskirts of Novy district.
