The latest developments in the Russian-Ukrainian war are very informative! The battle between the two cities entered a critical moment.
On the 24th, the war between Russia and Ukraine entered the 121st day. Ukrainian officials revealed that the Ukrainian army will withdraw from North Donetsk, while the Russian army said that it will completely surround Lisichansk in two or three days. The battle between the two cities entered a critical moment.
The time for Ukrainian troops to withdraw from North Donetsk has not been fixed.
On 24th, Reuters quoted Ukrainian officials as saying that the Ukrainian army planned to withdraw from North Donetsk, but the official did not disclose details such as when the Ukrainian army would withdraw.
The day before, the Tass news agency reported that the Ukrainian army in the nitrogen fertilizer plant in North Donetsk said that it was prepared to surrender in the case of a ceasefire and ensuring the safety of civilians in the plant.
The Russian side revealed that it would completely surround Lisichansk in two or three days.
On the night of 23rd, the leader of Donetsk armed forces said that the supply of Ukrainian defenders in Lisztsk was almost completely cut off, and Lugansk armed forces would completely surround Lisztsk in the next two or three days.
Ukrainian officials said that the whole of Lisichansk is within the firepower range of the Russian army, and their advantages in heavy artillery and strength are obvious. In this direction alone, the Russian army has concentrated more than 100 artillery units.
Us media: Russian troops tried to completely cut off the Ukrainian supply line.
Many sections in and out of Lisichansk were destroyed by shells. The Associated Press quoted the Ukrainian military as saying that Russian troops were crossing a hill overlooking the highway connecting Lisichansk and Bakhmut in the southwest, and they tried to completely cut off the supply line of the Ukrainian army.
British Ministry of Defence: Russian troops achieve tactical breakthrough and bypass.
According to the British Ministry of Defence, since June 19, it is very likely that Russian troops have advanced more than 5 kilometers to the southern battlefield of Lisichansk. For a long time, the fortifications built by the Ukrainian army in the local area have been the reason why the Russian army is difficult to advance. It is generally believed that the Russian army needs to take risks to cross the river after it has completely controlled the northern Donetsk, so as to threaten Lisichansk from the northeast, but unexpectedly, the Russian army avoided the northeast fortress that directly attacked the Ukrainian army and turned to flank the Ukrainian army from the south. The wave of Pasner, which had fallen into the hands of the Russian army earlier, became a great threat to the Ukrainian army in Donbass.
Among them, the battle for Zolott is extremely fierce. After the Russian side drove the Ukrainian army into the encirclement, it used artillery to clear the obstacles for the infantry, while the aviation attacked the enemy positions from the air.Russian media said that Russian aviation destroyed Ukrainian artillery, and the Ukrainian army has lost the support of artillery and drones in this position.
Russian media said that Russian artillery, planes, infantry and tanks formed three-dimensional firepower and stormed the Ukrainian army.The sound of heavy equipment can be heard one kilometer away. When you need to get close to the enemy secretly, you will call the fire fighters.Dozens of Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered.
Us media: Russian troops must win street fighting to win Lisichansk.
The US media said that the Russian military’s offensive was a setback for Ukraine. However, if the Russian army wants to seize the twin cities, it must fight street by street as it did in upor, Mali, so that it can be completely controlled. Analysts also agree with this view that although the Russian army has made a "tactical breakthrough", it is not a major turning point in the war. If the Russian army wins Lisiantsk, the next target will be Slavyansk.
The Russian Ministry of Defence first demonstrated the work of armored trains.
On the 23rd, the Russian Ministry of Defence demonstrated the work of the "Volga" armored train in Donbass for the first time, which is mainly responsible for engineering investigation, mine clearance and railway track repair.
Ukrainian Defense Minister: US "Haima" rocket has arrived in Ukraine.
On 23rd, Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov announced on social media that the American "Haima" highly mobile rocket launcher system had arrived in Ukraine.
According to Ukrainian media, the Haimasi rocket provided by the US has the longest range of 70 kilometers. If it is deployed to the front line, Donetsk, Lugansk, Hellson and even Snake Island are all within its fire coverage. Ukrainian media believes that this weapon will break the balance of power on the front line.
The United States has increased its military assistance and added four sets of "hippocampus"
On the same day, the United States announced that it would provide Ukraine with another 450 million U.S. dollars in military assistance.
In the latest military aid plan, there are four sets of "Haima" rocket launcher systems. The US military revealed that these four sets of "Haimas" rocket systems were pre-deployed in Europe, and the Ukrainian army has started relevant training.
However, Liesto, adviser to the Ukrainian President, said earlier that "Hippos" is indeed a weapon that can change the rules of the game, but it needs 60 sets to have a chance to fight against the Russian army.In the eyes of the Ukrainian army at the front, the Russian army has indeed more ammunition.
German government provides aid to 10 air defense systems in Ukraine.
In order to save the disadvantage of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield, the United States and the West have continuously increased their military assistance. On the 23rd, the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany revealed in an interview that Ukraine signed an IRIS-T air defense system contract with Germany, with a contract value of 178 million euros, and the relevant funds will be paid by the German government, while Ukraine will receive 10 IRIS-T air defense systems.
The Ukrainian army suffered hundreds of casualties every day, and the recruits went to the battlefield after five days of training.
According to the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), the Ukrainian side stated that the shelling of the Russian army in the Donbass area caused about 100 to 200 soldiers to be killed every day and at least 500 people were injured. With the deepening of the war, the Ukrainian army with military training has been constantly damaged, and soldiers lacking basic military equipment and training have been forced to push to the front. Officials in charge of training revealed that they can only train about 120 people a week, and recruits can only receive five days of training before being sent to the battlefield.
In this case, it is not surprising that foreign mercenaries are constantly pushed to the most dangerous front.
Russian Foreign Ministry warns US not to send mercenaries.
Recently, foreign mercenaries who participated in the fighting have been captured one after another. On June 9, Donetsk announced that three Ukrainian mercenaries involved in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict were sentenced to death, two of whom were from Britain. Since then, two more mercenaries from the United States have been captured, and it is not excluded that they will also be sentenced to death.
In fact, although the US government indicated that it did not support its own personnel to enter Ukraine to participate in the war, it did not take effective measures to stop it. The US Military Times website published an article entitled "Do you want to go to Ukraine to participate in the war? Here’s how to do it ",which lists in detail the steps and precautions for Americans to apply to join the Ukrainian" foreign legion ".
On 23rd, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zacharova said that Russia insisted that the United States stop the open recruitment of mercenaries by the Ukrainian embassy in the United States, which may have unpredictable consequences.
