| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Censor] The main strike group of Russian troops in the Donbass is advancing on the Bakhmut-Soledar area. The enemy is trying to expand the breakthrough zone from Popasna. At the same time, the enemy continued to attack Slovyansk and stormed Severodonetsk. The Russians reached the Bakhmut-Lysychansk highway near the villages of Nagirne and Berestove. At the same time, the occupiers extended the breakthrough wedge north to Pokrovsky and south of the village of Vrubivka to Lysychansk. The occupiers of Lysychansk and Severodonetsk are thus trying to capture and surround on both sides. The Russian command is trying to cross the Bakhmut-Lysychansk route, which is a convenient line of defense, to attack Siversk and threaten the entire environs of Severodonetsk-Lysychansk. At the same time, the enemy is trying to attack Lysychansk from the south and reduce the Ukrainian defenses in the area of ​​Zolote Hirske-Toshkivske. The Russian offensive can be stopped only by defeating the Russian strike group in the Bakhmut-Popasna area. The issues remain the same: front-line control, artillery reconnaissance, corrective means, counter-battery combat, shells. Russian troops are also suffering heavy losses, and advancement is very expensive for the Russians. The Ukrainian infantry bears the main burden and allows Ukrainian firearms, especially artillery, to beat the enemy. The Ukrainian command defends every meter of Ukrainian land to the last opportunity, trying to stop the enemy everywhere. There is a hard battle for depletion, Ukrainian troops remain in control and high fighting spirit and motivation, it is a daily mass feat, and people are doing everything possible despite the lack of weapons and ammunition.
