After the fighting in Severodonetsk lasted for several days, the Russian army finally achieved control of the area, and the Ukrainian army had no choice but to surrender on the spot. The first to surrender was the Ukrainian army in the chemical plant, and then other Ukrainian troops began to surrender one after another. A large number of Ukrainian troops were seen lying down and surrendering, waiting for the Russian army to come and capture them. In fact, it is not surprising that these Ukrainian troops would choose to surrender. Judging from the current situation, there is indeed no need for the Ukrainian army to continue to resist. First, they cannot defeat the Russian army at all. Secondly, the Ukrainian troops in Donbas have already run out of ammunition and food, so it is better to enter the prisoners of war as soon as possible. Live a life of good food and drink.
The intensity of the battle in Donbass is no less than Mariupol . The Russian army has been attacking with heavy fire. After the Ukrainian army obtained NATO equipment, it also started to fire, but it could only delay the defeat. Now that the Russian army has achieved complete control of Severodonetsk, it is also a good thing for the Eastern Ukrainian army. After occupying the place, the Russian army did not take a moment to rest and quickly advanced to the "next city", which is Lixichang. Sk. The city and Severodonetsk are known as the "Twin Cities", and there is no reason why they should not be captured together, so Russian troops are rushing to the city non-stop.
Judging from the speed of the Russian army's advance, it is only a matter of time before they capture Lischichansk, because the local Ukrainian army has been surrounded on three sides. The Russian army encircled it from three directions: east, south and north. Once the encirclement was formed, the Ukrainian army would be unable to fly even if it had wings. In just a few days, the Russian army has advanced the front to the suburbs 5 kilometers south of Lischichansk, which is extremely critical because it no longer has to risk crossing the river. The Russian army was severely beaten in the previous river-crossing operation, and after learning its lesson, it will no longer give the Ukrainian army a chance to make a sneak attack.
The editor has two views on the current situation: First, the conflict has made new progress. The battle in Donbas may be about to end. After capturing the strategic location of Lisichansk, the Ukrainian army will lose its position in Lugansk Finally Control, it is impossible to counterattack. No matter in terms of equipment or morale, the Ukrainian army does not have the conditions for a counterattack. It would be too naive to think that obtaining NATO equipment can reverse the situation. Although the equipment is good, it cannot play a decisive role. Coupled with the operational shortcomings of the Ukrainian army, it is not easy to persist until now, and the battle in Donbas will also come to an end.
Second, Lisichansk will be another tough battle. Although the local Ukrainian army has been trapped in an encirclement, the garrison is the "ace" force of Kiev and has been stationed locally for many years and is very familiar with the terrain and environment. Therefore, it is not that simple for the Russian army to win in one fell swoop. It may take some time to end the battle, but in any case, the outcome of the Russian army's victory has already been written, and even the main force of the Ukrainian army cannot change it. Today's Ukraine has long since sunk. Rather than continuing to resist, perhaps the top priority is to find ways to protect more territory from falling. Unfortunately, Ukraine does not seem to be in a hurry.
