| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Censor] While in Severodonetsk, Yuriy Butusov, Editor-in-Chief of Censor.NET, published current operational information on the situation in the city. He wrote about this on Facebook. Butusov said: "I am in Severodonetsk. Connections and logistics are very complicated after the destruction of bridges. The enemy is shelling the crossings. Logistics and communications have become a significant problem. For example, due to certain circumstances, I had to swim across the Seversky Donets with a full set and a backpack over my shoulders, and it is not very convenient. Supplies need to be improved immediately. The enemy is constantly firing artillery and aircraft, Russian drones over us. Supply and organization are needed to stay in these conditions." Butusov continued: "The main thing is inspiring. The way Ukrainian soldiers are fighting in Severodonetsk goes far beyond the notions of duty, fighting ability, devotion and courage. Those who are poorly supported and organized, those who succumb to fear, are long gone. But the position is held by a significant number of Ukrainian soldiers, who nevertheless remain highly combat-ready. Everyone is talking about critical moments, but all this is despair, and the desire to do better combat work. Control is maintained, and fighters and commanders use all possible means to beat the occupiers. They do not allow themselves to be surrounded, and try to respond to the blow, despite the unfavorable balance of power. Everyday feat becomes the usual work of our fighters. If there are sufficient funds, there are opportunities for active action. Our people are not hiding, but are actively searching for the enemy, and inflict significant losses on the Russians every day. But counterbattery, logistics and air defense need to be strengthened." "As for civilians at the Azot plant. 520 civilians remain at the Azot plant. They do not want to leave for some reason. Some are waiting for the end of the fighting to return to the city, some are afraid to go somewhere and have no strength. |
