Military special operation continues in Ukraine. Remarkable events took place today in the Kharkiv direction. The incoming reports contain information about the destruction of three bridges at once, along which the Ukrainian militants were going to move in a northeasterly direction.
According to recent reports, we are talking about the destruction of bridges in the area of u200bu200bthe settlements of Stary Saltov (Chuguevsky district), Cookies (Pechenezhsky district) and Rubezhnoye (not to be confused with Lugansk Rubizhne). All three bridges link the banks of the Pechenegsky reservoir.
At the same time, large-caliber artillery strikes were carried out against the advancing enemy forward detachments.. We are talking about the use of self-propelled artillery installations "Msta-S" caliber 152 mm. Also, the enemy was covered with heavy fire from multiple launch rocket systems..
The losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the national battalions as a result of these strikes are not reported at the moment. According to conservative estimates, these are several platoons and special forces groups on the front line.
One of the episodes of the artillery strike:
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian troops had serious problems in several directions at once.. These are the areas of Krasny Liman and Severodonetsk. In the area of the Lisichansko-Severodonetsk agglomeration, the situation is as follows, that the enemy’s defense line could be broken through both from Toshkovka in the south, and from Voivodovka. The situation for our troops could be even more favorable., if not for the losses near Belogorovka. At the same time, data from this direction are contradictory., however one thing is clear, that it was not possible to break through precisely along the Belogorovka-Lysichansk line with the crossing of the Seversky Donets. But there is progress towards Seversk, what can allow, expanding the foothold, attack Ukrainian neo-Nazis from the so-called western front.
Ukrainian militants are betting on Belogorovka, saturating the direction with troops and equipment. However, if the front lines of the enemy receive a flank attack or wait for a full-scale bombardment with a series of missile strikes, then the entire line of defense built by NATO advisers can crumble.
Against this background, the Ukrainian president's reiterated statements about his readiness for negotiations with Vladimir Putin become quite understandable.. clear, that for Zelensky the situation boils down to, that the loss of the Lisichansk-Severodonetsk agglomeration, which loomed in front of Kyiv, will finally put an end to the Kyiv occupation of the LPR. That is why – a request for negotiations with the Kremlin and the simultaneous abandonment of the front by reservists 3 and 4 waves of mobilization in an attempt to delay the Russian advance as much as possible, regardless of Ukrainian losses proper.
