The Russian Army broke through Ukrainian defense and launched new assault in the city of Chasov Yar in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
In recent days, the assault groups of Russian forces launched several successful attacks. As a result, they managed to cross the main line of Ukrainian defense build along the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal and enter the city of Chasov Yar. Russian forces gained a foothold on the eastern streets of the Oktyabrsky districts of the city.
The assault was launched by forces of the 11th and 98th Airborne Divisions of the Russian Armed Forces. They advanced about 250 meters deep into Ukrainian defense.
According to unconfirmed reports, Russian forces again used some underground paths to attack Ukrainian defense. Earlier, the Russian military launched risky attacks in Ukrainian rear through underground paths in Avdeevka and Toretsk.
The new advance was possible after the Russian military secured the full control of the eastern Kanal district and expanded its zone of control along the entire eastern bank of the Seversky Donetsk-Donbass canal in recent weeks.
The canal itself shallowed, but it is still difficult to be crossed on armored vehicles without additional pontoon crossings. They were built while Russian artillery and aviation were pounding Ukrainian military positions in the area.
The Ukrainian military also densely mined the area and built fortified strongholds along the canal.
At the same time, Russian stormtroopers launched new attacks in the Novy district. The command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is likely aimed to contain the Ukrainian garrison in battles and force the enemy to remove units from the outer line of defense to the city streets. The main part of the Ukrainian garrison is likely to retreat to the industrial area of Chasov Yar in the nearest future.
On the outskirts of the city, the Russian military is expanding its zone of control in the area of Kalinovka. At the same time, the Ukrainian military is concentrating forces east of the city, fiercely fighting for control of the key heights, since the loss of the latter will complicate the position of the Ukrainian garrison in this direction.
ru has a very good momentum now, and the advances are growing in pace day by day. so i think, actually i am sure that karkov will be liberated by august
maybe the stores and homeowners can be “liberated” from their underwear, wash machine, food by zombie orchs?
better than being shot by zombie nazoids for speaking russian.
slow so far but rest assured chasov yar will fall and then the rest of ukraine.
i remember, not so long ago, when the zombie nazoids were retreating from bakhmut/artyomovsk to chasov yar, saying “this is our fortress on a hill, it’s an impregnable defense line. bakhmut was irrelevant. we stop russia here!!”
famous last words.
už aby sa to ruským vojskám podarilo. toto je posledná bašta fašistických svíň, ktorá je dôležitou pre udržanie si donbasu. ak padne tak potom sa oslobodzovanie donbasu oveľa viac posunie vpred. svetu mier!!!
looking at all war torned places, definitely windows and glass business is the field to invest after the war.
windows? how about masons, carpenters, and road workers?!
lets see if the bridgehead will hold. i am a bit sceptical russian forces advancing all that wide area across the river. probably the bridgehead is much smaller and they are now trying to expand it. falling of chasov yar would create a pincer movement.
the smo reminds me of an anglerfish, dangling its luminescent lure over its mouth and inviting its prey in for the bite.
