RF Armed Forces enter Izyum
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin [ColonelCassad] In the evening, reports came that our troops had driven the APU out of Izyum (although there are reports that there is still some resistance in the southern districts of the city), where part of the 81st brigade of the AFU was defending in the city, which had retreated from the city and is now covering it with artillery and mortars. The positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were actively covered by aircraft. The route was cut (now with ends) Kharkiv-Izyum. Control over Izyum creates the prerequisites for an attack on Slavyansk from the northwest. In addition, by controlling Izyum, it is possible to advance on Pavlograd and Barvenkovo, with further cutting of the Donetsk-Pavlograd highway, control over which will lead to a complete operational encirclement of all forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbas. From the south, the troops of the Melitopol group are moving towards the Pavlograd-Donetsk highway, which have already approached Gulyaipol and began to bypass it from the east. Donetsk and Gorlovka continue to endure hard shelling stoically, waiting for the hammer of the RF Armed Forces to fall on the group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And yes, Izyum is the city from which the ATO in Donbass began. After 8 years, the war has come to where the military phase of the ATO began. Posted by: badanov 2022-03-08 |
