Initiative by the Armed Forces: Chechens were unable to storm Marinka - British intelligence

Russian troops, as they assume in the department, continue to receive orders of command of the rapid restoration of storms in the Donetsk direction. There are heavy battles in many areas of the Ukrainian Front, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine retain the initiative. In particular, Ukrainian defenders managed to repel the attack of Chechen units, which tried to seize the settlement of Marinka of Donetsk region. This is stated in the next report of the Ministry of Defense of the UK of June 8.

British intelligence reports that Russian troops are ordered to go on the offensive on this border as soon as possible. It should be noted that such data are consistent with information from the Russian media, which wrote that President Vladimir Putin personally set the task of taking Marinka, where Chechen units are fighting. "Chechen units made an unsuccessful attempt to take the city of Marinka, located near Donetsk, where the front line has changed little since 2015," the report reads.

It should be noted that the British text was indicated by Marivka settlement, although all settlements with this name are located in the territory controlled by Ukraine. Probably, intelligence meant Marinka, located near Donetsk. The Ministry of Defense also assessed the situation in the lower reaches of the Dnieper, where there was a large -scale flooding as a result of the blasting of the Kakhovsky Hydroelectric Power Dam.

British intelligence reported that the flood level continued to grow over the past 24 hours, but from now on it would probably begin to fall. In addition, it was stated that people tried to remove people from the flooded areas, but evacuation was difficult because of shelling. Earlier it was reported that in Mariinka on June 6, a mini national-Bolshevik 19-year-old Andrew Keller was blown up.
