Ukrainian military regains control of half of Sieverodonetsk. This was announced by the head of the Luhansk civil–military administration (CMA) Serhiy Gaidai.
According to him, the russians continue to attack the city and the Lysychansk-Bakhmut highway.
"The russians controlled 70% of Sieverodonetsk, but within two days they were repulsed, the city divided in half. The occupiers lost a huge number of personnel, eight russians were taken prisoner. All reserves of the enemy army are aimed at capturing Sieverodonetsk and the route Lysychansk - Bakhmut", – Gaidai wrote on Telegram.
According to British intelligence, the successful actions of the Ukrainian military slowed down the operational momentum of the russians in Sieverodonetsk. In addition, it is noted that russia is resorting to the practice of using proxy formations, as it once did in Syria, attracting people mobilised in the Luhansk region in the occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
