The situation on the Severodonetsk loop
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.Commentary by Russian military bogger Andrey Chervonets Interesting details from the VSUshnik taken prisoner in Mirnaya Dolina. Kiev throws into the semi-cauldron all the unprepared, just a week as mobilized, soldiers.  If you listen to the prisoner, watch this report and look at your map, then what we have: Video referred to is in Russian - it seems that the RF Armed Forces brought a fresh unit into the battle, presumably BTGr 90 TD, and broke through the enemy's defenses; - after the final cleaning of the company stronghold on the mountain east of Toshkovka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of Toshkovka, Mirnaya Dolina did not have any prepared defense lines left. In addition, the Ukrainians has no artillery left that can "block" the direction of the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation / NAF; - after units of the Ukrainian 54th ORB (separate reconnaissance battalion) were unwound on the oporniks northwest of Vrubovka a few days ago, it became clear that there were no significant reserves in this direction. The defense is held by armored groups (a couple of tanks plus a platoon of infantry with anti-tank weapons on vehicles), which direct artillery and demonstrate their presence. - the operational environment of the Gorsko-Zolotoye group (up to 2,500 soldiers and officers) is rapidly turning into a cauldron. - after the liberation of Mirnaya Dolina and Podlesnoye, if there are forces and means, it may make sense not to try to go to Lisichansk, but to go northwest, to Volcheyarovka, there is a little more than five km and there are no rivers and take a bridge across the Berestovaya river. Further develop success on Topolevka (there is another five km to the north-west of Volcheyarovka), and the Seversk-Lysichansk highway will be under tight fire control. That is, the grouping in Lysichansk is also in the operational environment, where the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can be 8,000 people.
