The war in Ukraine is escalating on several fronts. Russia’s defence ministry says it has repelled a large-scale attack by Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk region. Meanwhile, Kyiv insists its troops are advancing on Bakhmut. Al Jazeera’s @stratfordch explains.

@Sathees Selvam
Why do you support Ukrainian regime??
Glory to Ukraine.
This is the Ukrainian counteroffensive in full swing however, base on what they were hoping to achieve and what they are actually achieving is too different thing. Yes they have made gains. But they haven’t made any kind of substantial gains, well at least not yet. They have suffered heavy casualties and so have the Russians BUT the Russians aren’t routed as Ukraine and the West would have hoped.
Liar
@sweeet scholes Zelensky
Slava Ukraina!!
💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
I still don’t understand why people listen to Russia. Everything they say is a lie. Dawn with terror state Russia and Serbia.
Why do Aljazeera journalist keeps saying that Russian took full control or captured Bakhmut “last month” when its been no more than a week since it was officially confirmed that Ukraine lost Bakhmut. Russians captured Bakhmut and already lost full control of the city. 🤦♂️
Russia has control.Ukraine is fighting on the “outskirts”.🤣🤣🤣🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Because we are in a new month… It is june!
Last month (6 days ago) was May. Now it is June.🎉😅
Glory to Ukraine.Glory to Ukraine.Glory to Ukraine.Glory to Ukraine.
Orkrain is a hopeless case
Wait wait wait. 😅 Did I hear him saying that we can’t confirm that those vehicles are Ukrainian or not. 😅😅 Now my boy think for a moment why would Russia share a footage of it’s own vehicles going boom. This video was released just after Ukraine attempted the counter offensive and stepping into the minefields.
Common sense is not common as one would think
So Russia is bombing itself 😂😂😂
and the vehicles are dutch made personal carriers and German tanks 😂😂😂
the Washin’ Post: Whether or not the latest fighting marks the start of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, many observers warned against expectations of a quick breakthrough that could end the war quickly.
The West must mobilize its military industries to ramp up support for Ukraine to allow it to win, Barrons said.
“The key to this counteroffensive is to show enough battlefield success to show to the West that the right and reasonable thing to do is to get on with industrial mobilization,” he said, estimating that Europe must spend about 100 billion euros ($107 billion) a year for the next three years.
Ukraine has gotten 70Billion so far and still havent changed the map.Russia still controls 20% of Ukraine.smh.Wagner fought with shovels,no ammo and no missiles and Ukraine still lost Bakhmut.🤣🤣🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Blinken, is that you? Or is this Kamala Harris? Don’t you have something more important to do than trying to manipulate opinions in the global south about a disasterous war? 😂
Pity ..
Soldiers die in pieces
Leaders live in peace
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🫡🫡🫡
No bakhmut, it’s prigozhingrad from now on, he’s a hero for saving the city from Ukrainian regime 💪🇷🇺
Prigozhingrad😂😂😂
Salam from🇧🇩☪️👍
@G.M. Kamel
Alaykom Salam comrade 🇮🇷 ❤️🇧🇩
Exposed hahaha…for real.
Slava Russia 🇷🇺🇮🇷
More Iranian drones are coming 💪
animals speak dump and animals act like animals, they don’t know peace, harmony , rule of law
Pray for our brothers and sisters in Donbas, insha’allah they’ll be free from the coup regime in Ukraine 🇮🇷☝️❤️🇷🇺
@Hugo Van mulken slava palestina
Western media always lies while loosing the war
If this is a full scale operation against Russia by Ukraine and its allies,I bet they will defeat Russian forces in two weeks time because offensive tactics are being carried out against Russia from all directions and front and Russia has no military capabilities to defend itself, and not enough troops to protect the previous captured land.it’s over for Russian,that is my bet,thanks
What is clear is that Ukraine has many false claims
It is not the Ukrainians but the Western Media and Washington who is making this false claims to make more money. Ukrainians are angry and complaining in Telegram channels
Slava ukrain
GOD bless Russia,Glory to Russia in jesus mighty name Amen,the cause and foundations of the war is Italy and France Paris and,America,Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,sardinia,Rome….
Are you tripping fool?
“MOSCOW, June 6. /TASS/. The Russian armed forces have destroyed 1,500 Ukrainian troops that were attempting to attack and 8 German-made Leopard tanks, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.
“Total losses of Ukrainian troops in the southern Donetsk Region area were more than 1,500 Ukrainian servicemen, 28 tanks, of them 8 German-made Leopard tanks, 3 wheeled French-made АМХ-10 tanks and 109 armored fighting vehicles,” the ministry said. “
Seriously? 😕
3 destroyed AMX-10 tank photos were just released, some photos are to blurry to be identifiable, we might be getting new images in the coming days
109 Armored fighting vehicles?!!! Really??? And 1,500 Ukrainian soldiers? Come on Russia, we’re not Joe Biden stupid. You’ve got to make believable lies if you want to possibly be believed!
Geo-located & timestamped photos would easily document where and when photos were taken.
Yes please, Shoigu, by now all these fields look the same.
@John D Please tell me more. What is R FED MOD and where in it should I look?
But then they wouldn’t get to claim they can’t “independently verify” what Russia says is true.
@Jack Jones Russian Federation Ministry of Defense. I’m trying to hard to avoid giving the “look at all the racial hatred against Russians” Putintrolls ammo.
@John D thanks for explaining what are R-FED MOD means. I don’t see a point in worrying about giving Putin trolls ammo. They will pretend to be offended and act as if they make sense regardless of what anyone does.
30 tanks including 8 Leopards and 3 French weeled tanks and 109 other armored vehicles were destroyed by Russia on the first day of Ukranian offensive also 1500 Ukranian troops killed but I guess western media won’t mention that because it goes against western narrative that Ukraine is winning
STOP THE WAR!!!!
Tell Putin.
Because they destroy ukraine and nato soldiers so that one u cannot verify 😁😁😁😁😁
If u doubt the video.ASK UKRAINE TO OWN THE VIDEO THEN🤣🤣🤣🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺.
Be careful Pregousion is making Tactikal move
Bakhmut will be a graveyard for Ukrainians. Again. And again.
This news means that ukraine has lose
I doibt the ukrins are still credible. However, this might just be their “spring” offensive or whatever the lying western media wants to put it fizzling like a wet match.
alsamad nasir 🇲🇦 🇲🇦 🇲🇦
This channel, called Al-Jazeera, confiscates freedom of opinion and expression, claims credibility and objectivity, and is the opposite of that… We are abdesamad naser🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
As a balance of the first day of the long-awaited counteroffensive, which included the use of NATO’s Leopard 2A6 (reportedly 2 companies at least) in the south frontline, Ukrainian gains have been way too low. By the way, Al Jazeera you need to check on more real-time sources. Take your job seriously, guys!
Not a good day for Ukraine.
Slava Ukraini
Pitiful Russians now fight to defend their country.
LOOK…WHAT YOU CAN SEE IN UKRAINE IS NOT A REALLY WAR !!! BECAUSE TO DRIVE CIRCA 12 OR 14 VEHICLES FROM UKRAINE INTO RUSSIA / THE WORLD’S STRONGEST, MOST POWERFUL ARMY !!! IS JUST A CHILDISH FAKE THEATRE !! EVEN IF THEY SENT 1.000 VEHICLES IS NOT A REAL COUNTER OFFENSIVE, BUT 12 – 14 JEEPS !!! THEN TO SEND A BATALJON 750 MEN INTO DONETSK BORDER, WHICH HAS A SIZE 2 TIMES BIGGER THAN NEW YORK, EVEN IF IT IS JUST THE BORDER OF DONETSK THEN IT IS SUCH A VAST AREA, THEN THEY SHOULD SEND MAYBE 50.000 !!! SO THEIR FAKE THEATRE IS TO KEEP THE MONEY SUPPLY FROM ALL NATO MEMBERS !!! OTHERWISE NO PAYMENT !! BUT RUSSIA CAN EASILY OVERRUN UKRAINE WITHIN FEW WEEKS ! BUT RUSSIA IS NOT SO BUSY !! BECAUSE THE REST OF UKRAINE IS STILL A VAST AREA, BUT BECAUSE RUSSIA WANTS TO PROLONG THE “WAR” SO THAT THE INFLATION CAN LAST LONGER FOR THE NATO ZONE !!! YES RUSSIA IS VERY PROFESSIONAL !! RUSSIANS ARE ADULTS, BUT UKRAINIANS ARE CHILDISH, FOOLISH TOO !! BUT THE WEST & NATO = IDIOTS & ALWAYS THE MAFIA BEHIND THE STAGE !!!
Given the incursions into Belgorod, Russia is showing instability and weakness and as with previous reports last year where the Russian MOD claimed Kharkiv and Kherson were fully in their control when they had already been recaptured by Ukraine, it’s safe to assume any claims by Russia can be excused.
The fact T-55s are being used by Russia in an indirect fire role suggests a serious shortage of armour and the fact we’re seeing rusted out T-64s being sent for refurbishment does not bode well for what’ll happen when western armour and in particular American armour is used by Ukraine.
The Russian MOD has already claimed that every HIMARS unit in Ukraine has been destroyed 5-7 times over yet we see their continued operation (clearly disproving the Russian claims) and we currently see shaping operations with artillery/infantry and long hits well behind defensive lines with British cruise missiles disrupting supply lines.
While the initial gains from Ukraine may be small and or limited, as we’ve seen with previous offensives, the momentum will build and we’ll see the rapid withdrawal from large areas as we did with Kharkiv and Kherson.
The Belgorod incursions and neglect to address them by the Russian MOD also points to extreme instability building domestically fueled by saboteur groups and intelligence agencies fomenting such unrest.
Russia has never in modern history faced an opponent that has responded the way Ukraine has and with the continued supply of western aid, and arms. It’s only a matter of time before we see Crimea on the table as part of a future Ukranian offensive.
Ukraine failed in Belgorod. Failed in Soledar. Failed in Bakhmut. Now they are failing in this counter offensive. They lost nearly 2000 men, eight Leopard tanks, as well as three French AMX-10s. And Russia still hasn’t put any more that 10 or 15% of it’s assets in Ukraine. Against Hitler they mobilized 20 million soldiers. Let that simmer for a moment.
I expect Ukraine will simply cut off resupply routes by the Kerch bridge and the Azov coastline. 2/3 of Russia’s troops will have to surrender, die fighting or starve trying to resist.
Zelensky, is this you 😅
‘Impossible to verify that the vehicles destroyed are Ukrainian”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There used to be a time I looked to Al Jazeera to be an independent news source, now they are acting like the Western media they claim to be different from.
the videos on telegram shows a lot of equipment and ucranazis dying here in youcensor tube will not show that, the rusians are having a field day with those nazis.
Russia already won the war
Ukraine “said”
Russia “claimed”
Before it even start, ukraine nazzy just got drown by friendly fire when they accidently blow up their own dam.
*Russia🇷🇺 still occupied oblast Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Crimea.*
Russia must end occupation & keep peace..
nato’s new offensive has gone nowhere
Everything is happening with two legs humans becomes four legs animals …it’s destruction only…
