Russia has focused its main strike forces in the north of the region and is trying to attack simultaneously in nine directions, the general said.
Severodonetsk is an important point in the system of defense operations of the Luhansk region. The city cannot be viewed otherwise. This was announced on Wednesday, June 15, by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny.
The general said the tough struggle for the Luhansk region continues. Russia has focused its main strike forces in the north of the region and is trying to attack simultaneously in nine directions.
“The offensive was carried out from south to north in the direction of Popasnaya-Komyshevakh and beyond in Lisichansk, Popasnaya-Nikolaevka, Popasnaya-Berestovo, from north to south in the direction of Bogorodichnoye-Slavyansk, Izyum-Slavyansk, below-Popasnaya -Svetlodarsk, from east to west Severodonetsk-Lysichansk, as well as in the directions of Severodonetsk-Metyolkino, Toshkovka-Komyshevakha, “he specified.
At the same time, Zaluzhny said, the enemy was using aviation, multiple launch rocket systems, and artillery to expel Ukrainian troops.
The general expressed confidence that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would stand against the invaders, and Ukraine would win.
As previously reported, a difficult situation remains in the Luhansk region. The Ukrainian military prevents enemy aggression from three directions simultaneously – they defend Severodonetsk and they are not allowed to advance into Lysichansk.
