The Russian artillery and the Air Force launched an unprecedented attack, resulting in the Ukrainians losing 790 dead in 24 hours. The Russian Army is now located in the northern suburb of Severodonetsk, Voevodovka. Severodonetsk is a key city for the development of Russian strategy as it was designated by Kyiv as the administrative center of the "Luhansk region”.

But the most important thing is that Wagner forces occupy the city of Popasnaya. The "musicians" lead the business in this city-fortress. The fall of this city will mark the breaking of the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbas, on which the entire second phase of the Russian military operation depends.

Tomorrow WarNews247 will reveal the Russian report on the Ukrainian losses. The battles of the last 48 hours are unprecedented in Donbas. The heaviest Ukrainian losses since the start of the war.

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced the heaviest Ukrainian losses since the start of the war. 790 dead in 24 hours with artillery and the Air Force relentlessly pounding Ukrainian positions. The videos show the change of tactics of the Russians. Heavy use of UAVs, drones, use of Krasnopol guided artillery, destruction of S-300 using BM-30 Smerch, etc.

Especially in Popasnaya and Severodonetsk, Ukrainian forces had huge losses in battles and ambushes in forests and heavy artillery and air fire. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recognized the advance of the Russian Army in the areas of Liman, Seversk, Popasnaya and Voevodovka (the northern suburb of Severodonetsk).

In total: Fierce fighting is taking place in the Popasnaya area for the last 48 hours. The Russian Army is pounding the Ukrainian defense lines with everything it has: artillery, MLRS, Air Force. Russian artillery and air force bomb the entire front line from Temirovka to Huliapole.

Near Sivierodonetsk, Russia occupied Voevodovka, paving the way for the strategically important city of Severodonetsk in the south. The entire Severodonetsk will be closed in the coming days as most of the bridges are destroyed and the Russian Army moves along the river. Only 3 bridges are left and these are either damaged or are within range of Russian artillery. Watch videos from Severodonetsk

Fierce Fighting In Popasnaya - 790 Ukrainian Soldiers Dead

The Command Center of the 24th Brigade was destroyed The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the command center of the 24th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Popasnaya was destroyed. During the briefing, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said that artillery crews of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation killed about 790 soldiers of the armed forces of Ukraine.

"In Popasnaya itself, Ukrainian armed forces have been pushed into the western suburbs, where they are being pounded by various Russian weapons, including the air force.

The destruction of the command center leaves no choice for the Ukrainian Brigade. Ukrainians can no longer carry out any operations in an organized manner, including attempts to withdraw from the city in an organized manner. Two ammunition depots near Seversk were destroyed. "This is a city of 10,000 people controlled by the Kiev troops, which is located almost in the middle of the route between Slavyansk and Lisichansk," said the Russians.

Russian forces approached the Industrial Zone Ukrainian troops retreated from the southern part of Popasnaya in the direction of Bakhmut, blowing up the railway bridge in the nearby village of Kalinovo. The main center of resistance in the north remains the car repair factory and the adjacent high-rise buildings, according to military correspondents. T
he Ukrainian Armed Forces have already been displaced from fortified positions in the southeast and in Boguslavsky. To the north of the railway, fighting is taking place as the Ukrainians have set up a multi-level defense with interconnected firing points.

Big Uke Losses

The defense line of the Ukrainians in Donbas breaks Despite the fact that part of the Ukrainian units withdrew from the territory of the Lisichansk-Severodonetsk- Rubizhne triangle and moved to the western suburbs of Popasna, the Armed Forces of Ukraine still face a shortage of personnel. The 24th Mechanized Lvov Brigade has suffered heavy losses in fierce civilian battles.

That is why the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is trying to mobilize reserves. The fall of Popasna is a matter of time. The fall of the city will mean a break in the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbas, on which the entire second phase of the Russian military operation depends.
