The Russian army does not leave attempts to cordon off the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass.
British intelligence informs that the occupiers of the terrorist state are throwing all their forces to break into Slavyansk and Kramatorsk in the Donetsk region. It is from these settlements that they want to encircle the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This is reported by the British Ministry of Defense.
Intelligence data indicate that the Russian military is making considerable efforts in the areas of Izyum and Severodonetsk to encircle Ukrainian fighters.
“The primary task in this area is to cordon Ukrainian forces in the area of the Joint Forces Operation, disconnecting them from support or reinforcements from units in the west of the country,” the message says.
It is also reported that the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to prevent an attempt to force the Seversky Donets River in the Donbass. The invaders suffered considerable losses of equipment. As for the deployed pontoon crossing, in intelligence this maneuver is called quite risky. At the same time, they emphasize that only this can allow the Russian military to achieve its goals.
“Forcing a river in the face of hostilities is a very risky maneuver, which indicates pressure on Russian commanders to make progress in eastern Ukraine,” the report says.
Recall that during the crossing of the Seversky Donets River, the invaders lost more than 70 pieces of equipment . Using the published photos, the researchers calculated the exact amount of equipment destroyed and abandoned by the Russian invaders at the destroyed pontoon crossing across the Seversky Donets River near Belogorovka, Lugansk region.
