According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Russian sources said that Ukraine’s armed forces have a tactical advantage in conducting night assaults thanks to Western-provided equipment with an excellent night-optical system.

A prominent Russian media blogger claimed that Ukrainian forces attack at night because equipment provided by the West gives Ukrainian forces “superb” night vision.

Volodymyr Rogov, the occupation official of the Zaporizhia region, also said that night attacks allow Ukrainian forces to more effectively use equipment provided by the West.

Russian sources detailed that Ukrainian forces have begun or intensified night attacks in recent days, and Ukrainian forces may increasingly take advantage of the advantages offered by Western systems.

On June 10, Ukrainian troops carried out counteroffensive actions on at least four areas of the front

Russian sources reported on the actions of Ukrainians in the Luhansk region, near the city of Bilogorivka.

Colonel Serhii Sherevaty, spokesman for the Eastern Group of Ukrainian Forces, said that Ukrainian troops advanced up to 1,400 meters in unspecified areas on the Bakhmut Front, and Russian mil-bloggers reported the advance of Ukrainian troops to the northwest and northeast in the Bakhmut area.

The Ministry of Defense of Russia and other Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces carried out localized shelling in the area of ​​the border between Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, especially in the area of ​​Velika Novosilka.

Geolocated images indicate that Ukrainian forces in the western Zaporizhzhya region have achieved local successes during counterattacks southwest and southeast of Orichov, and Russian media bloggers continue to claim that Russian forces in the area are successfully defending against attempts by Ukrainian forces to advance.
