Russian flag flies high as Zelensky loses Bogodarovka; Geran terror continues to haunt Kyiv's forces

Russia’s defence ministry claimed on June 30 that its forces had captured Bogodarovka after pushing Ukrainian troops from positions on the right bank of the Gaychur River. Moscow said the reported advance improved its foothold in the area and could support further operations toward Aleksandrovka and deeper toward the Dnepropetrovsk direction.
