According to multiple sources, the Russian army is likely to have captured Lischichansk. After repeated delays in the deadline - first on June 12, and then on June 26 - the Russian army seems to have finally completed its attack on Lugan. The occupation of the Sk Oblast is far away from their goal of launching the Donbass Campaign , and there is still some territory of the Donetsk Oblast .
At present, about 45% of the territory of Donetsk Oblast is still in the hands of Ukraine , the most important of which is the important town of Udong, a defensive fortress operated by the Ukrainian army for many years- Slavyansk .
So there is no doubt that Slavyansk will become the most important target of the Russian army in the future.
Yesterday, the Russian army launched a violent bombardment of Slavyansk, and violent explosions caused at least 15 fires.
The mayor of Slavyansk issued an announcement saying that this was the most serious bombing the city had suffered since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, causing "many deaths and injuries."
It is said that this round of attacks by the Russian army is mainly based on rockets , which is in line with their recent style of play - first saturating the attack with long-range artillery fire, and destroying the Ukrainian army's defensive positions before launching a ground attack.
At present, the most direct threats to the Slavyansk garrison mainly come from two directions. One is the Russian army in Izyum , and the other is the Russian army in the direction of Hongliman. The two are in the northwest and northeast of Slavyansk respectively.
Among them, the Izyum Russian army's attack in the direction of Slavyansk has been going on for more than two months.
In order to destroy the logistics supplies of the Russian army in Izyum, the Ukrainian army repeatedly used MiG-24 helicopters to fly at ultra-low altitudes, penetrated 40 kilometers into the Russian territory, and attacked the Russian oil depots and ammunition depots .
It is reported that these attacks were mainly carried out by the 10th Special Forces Force of the Ukrainian Army - Shaman Special Forces (shaman battalion).
I have mentioned many times before that Slavyansk-Bakhmut-Seversk is the fortress iron triangle that the Ukrainian army has built for many years, and it is the real decisive place of the Donbass battle.
I estimate that Seversk (in the blue circle on the far right of the picture above) will become the priority target of the Russian army, because Seversk is far from the rear and faces Popanas (bottom right of the picture above), Hongliman, as well as the recently occupied Russian army of Lisichansk formed an encirclement from the south, north and east.
If the firepower of the Ukrainian army in Eastern Ukraine cannot be greatly improved in the near future, they may have to abandon Seversk, because the Russian army of Hongliman and Popanas is likely to rely on superior artillery fire to repeat the situation in Lisichansk. Scene - Cutting off supply lines at Seversk.
According to the latest news, two Ukrainian artillery battalions equipped with M777 are about to be put into the Wudong battlefield. It is expected that they will have a major impact on the Wudong battle situation together with the 5 sets of and Seamaster that have arrived at the front line.
Recently, NATO and other Western countries have provided more and more assistance to Kiev . Various cutting-edge offensive weapons and air defense systems have been continuously sent to Ukraine, but they still have an important problem that needs to be solved - —There are too many types of weapons and ammunition provided by the Western camp, which poses a huge challenge to the Ukrainian army’s personnel training and logistical support.
Aiding countries take care of their own arms dealers' business and give priority to providing domestically produced weapons and equipment. This is understandable, but in order to improve efficiency and maximize the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army, NATO must better coordinate weapons assistance from various countries.
After the Russian army continued to carry out long-range attacks on Ukrainian cities, especially after a large shopping mall in Kremenchug was attacked by the Russian army, causing a large number of civilian casualties, the Ukrainian side announced for the first time that they would let go of attacking Russia. Domestic targets. The
attack came quickly.
In the early morning of July 3, the Russian city of Belgorod, close to the Russian-Ukrainian border, came under heavy shelling. 50 houses were hit by shells, killing 15 people and injuring many others. In addition, the Ukrainian army also attacked the Russian city library. Kursk launched an attack with missiles and missiles, which were allegedly intercepted by Russian air defense systems and ended up falling into the city.
This is the first time that Russia has been violently attacked.
The violent attack by the Ukrainian army on Russian cities is a landmark event, indicating that the war in Ukraine will enter a new stage from now on - from the war burning only on the Ukrainian side to the transition of the war that affects the people of both Russia and Ukraine.
From the perspective of stopping the war, this is a good thing.
