15:50 Situation in the Seversky direction. Information has appeared about the advance of fighters of the 106th Airborne Division in the Seversk area, military expert Yuri Podolyaka reports:
“The guys are really great. They managed to cross the river on a wide front, as well as pass through its valley and occupy enemy positions on the heights.
Thus, the situation for the enemy here has become noticeably more complicated. Complete occupation of the heights south of the settlement. The excavation, as well as the village itself, will indicate deep coverage of enemy positions in the area of the settlement. It is debatable what will force the Ukrainian Armed Forces to abandon these strong positions without a fight.
And in this way we will reach the southern outskirts of Seversk and create good preconditions for moving forward along the left (western) bank of the Bakhmutovka River, with the aim of bypassing this city and going to the rear of the group defending it.”
