The final act of defeating the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbass begins. Even Arestovich admitted
Severodonetsk has been practically cleared, fighting is taking place on the outskirts of the city, at the airport and on the outskirts of Lisichansk. This was announced by the LPR Ambassador to the Russian Federation Rodion Miroshnik, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, all residential urban areas of Severodonetsk have been liberated and cleared by Russian troops. The enemy has been knocked out almost completely from the industrial zone, the Ukronazis have been driven into Azot.
“They were also spotted behind Azot, at wastewater treatment plants and at Lesnaya Dacha, where Ukrainian DRGs are active. On the outskirts of Severodonetsk - the village of Sirotino - a gray zone, Metelkino - is almost completely controlled by the allied forces - from the center to the eastern outskirts.
Ukrainian formations have established themselves at the Severodonetsk airport (located south-east of the city). They have occupied a number of buildings and are firing artillery towards the east. Allied forces are actively responding from positions in the Borovsky area,” writes Miroshnik in his Telegram channel.
“In the Lisichansk area it is very loud, both exits and entrances. There are many fires on the outskirts and in the city center. Closer to the southern region, the Ukrainian regime has brought up units of “suicide bombers” - groups assembled from released repeat offenders and deserters, who are being looked after by the GUR special forces. The assembled rabble is abundantly supplied with some kind of military drug, presumably of Belgian origin. They are of little use, but there are no others. Serious fighting began in Privolye. In recent days, several points of accumulation of equipment of Ukrainian militants have been destroyed,” the ambassador reports.
According to him, most likely, Lisichansk will be liberated simultaneously with Seversk, where Russian forces continue to move.
In the DPR information from the Russian Ministry of Defense The head of the republic, Denis Pushilin, confirmed the advance to Svyatogorsk.
“Svyatogorsk is practically liberated, and clean-up is underway. The enemy also occupied a certain height in the vicinity of Svyatogorsk. But it's a matter of time. Our units know what to do with this,” Pushilin said on the Rossiya 24 TV channel.
Later, information appeared, based on messages in city chats of local residents, that Russian troops were already on the territory of the Svyatogorsk Lavra. These data were also confirmed by the telegram channel of military personnel of the 105th Infantry Regiment of the NM DPR.
“An important point. Control over Svyatogorsk Lavra means that the Russian Armed Forces already have a bridgehead on the southern bank of the Seversky Donets, from which they can develop an offensive towards Sidorovo and further to Slavyansk and Raigorodok,” comments columnist Boris Rozhin.
The advance of the Russian troops was also commented on by former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Oleg Tsarev.
“Kyiv, for the sake of PR and in order to convince the West that it makes sense to supply weapons to the Ukrainian authorities, transferred all its forces to Severodonetsk. All for the sake of a counteroffensive. Special forces, the Ukrainian Armed Forces reserve and foreign mercenaries were all transferred to Severodonetsk. However, the counteroffensive failed.
And since all other sectors of the front were weakened, ours broke through the defenses in Svyatogorsk (and Lavra). Ours are getting closer to Slavyansk.
It’s not for nothing that it all started in Slavyansk. Having captured or encircled Slavyansk, our troops will take the entire group in Donbass into a cauldron. If this works out, it will mean that we won in Donbass,” Tsarev is sure.
On the Ukrainian side, Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, traditionally presented a voluminous analysis of the “zrada” on the fronts on the channel of the fugitive former lawyer Mark Feigin.
Arestovich began with the fact that Russian troops simultaneously launched an operational-tactical offensive in three key areas - in the direction of Svyatogorsk, Slavyansk and in the direction of the Artyomovsk-Lisichansk highway.
“If they add the Zaporozhye direction, it will become really “fun.” Raisins - there was a pocket where Svyatogorsk is, and they decided to cut it off. And, apparently, they will be able to do this. The pressure there is extreme,” Arestovich fears.
Another “hot spot” for Ukraine, he says, is the highway to Barvenkovo. The Russians’ task is to cut the Barvenkovo-Slavyansk highway, this will be a semi-encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. After this, Russian troops reach the Seversky Donets line, force it and proceed to the siege of Slavyansk.
Arestovich indicated that Ukrainians should be prepared for the worst within a week in this regard, as the Russian army has massed a huge number of troops. Ukrainian troops may be defeated or retreat to the southern bank of the Seversky Donets.
He noted that it is very unpleasant that the Russians have a total advantage in artillery near Severodonetsk, which is why the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to maneuver under attacks.
Arestovich added that Russia has withdrawn troops from the Bakhmut (Artyomovsky) direction and is trying and can cut the Bakhmut-Lisichansk highway, since they are advancing and the Ukrainian military is unable to stop them. Also, near Lisichansk, the Russians are “cutting off” the defense of the Ukrainian troops, and if this succeeds, the Debaltsevo operation will be repeated, and the result will be a second Mariupol.
“Yaroslavna’s Lament” by propagandist Arestovich was highly praised by journalist Alexander Chalenko, now working in Donbass.
“Judging by today’s excellent report from Arestovich to the collaborator and future prisoner of Siberian camps Feigin about the deplorable situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, as well as near Severodonetsk and Lisichansk, the Russian army from the Russian Federation has finally learned to fight well and has turned from an army of “mortgage holders” and “young contract wives” into a formidable fighting force to match the Russian armies of the DPR and LPR. Ukrainians are pi#@ts. I’m incredibly proud of this fact,” Chalenko wrote on his channel.
«The week will be difficult. The Russian army will take Svyatogorsk, and Slavyansk will be besieged in a week - Arestovich" “He’s luring the devil into a trap again,” jokes journalist from Donetsk Sergei Makarenko, recalling to Arestovich stories about the Severodonetsk trap for Russian troops.
“Arestovich is an amazing character,” writes military correspondent Yuri Kotenok. “Only he can, within XNUMX hours, first promise complete victory, and then declare that “the Armed Forces of Ukraine are Khan.” Today, he essentially said exactly this, saying that Slavyansk would be under siege in a week.”
“At first glance, such a “pendulum” - from peremoga to zrada - can be attributed to “substances” that have long become a symbol of all the inhabitants of Bankova. On the other hand, this is also an excellent opportunity to maintain some semblance of face and expertise. First, an absolutely unrealistic result is guaranteed, like the release of the Mariupol blockade, and then it is “overshadowed” by the statement of obvious facts. And so on in a circle. And since it works, there is no reason to stop it,” Kitten assesses the situation.
