Development of the fighting (Day 103): Zelensky risked his way into the bag that the Russians want to tie – Denník N

What is happening in Sjevjerodonetsk and what both sides are saying about the fighting. As Zelenskyj risked. It is possible that the battle of Donbas is culminating, this week may be crucial. Map of the day – burns where it fights. Videos of the day – a damaged tank that you can’t tow into its own lines is destroyed in the middle of a fight; foreign volunteers in Sjevjerodonetsk; the Russian counterpart of the Slovak Bozena clears the way of mines. Even today, we bring a summary of the situation on the battlefield, compiled from information from various ministries of defense and independent analysts. The series also features the observations of Russian nationalist and criminal Igor Strelkov (Girkin), who was a key figure in the outbreak of the war in 2014, but in addition to the success of the Russian army on his profile on the Russian social network VKontakte, he writes openly about its defeats and problems.

According to incoming information, some streets are passing from hand to hand, the situation is constantly changing and after an initial surprise, the Russians have regained some quarters of the city of once a hundred thousand. Why Zelensky was very risky. However, the two maps are still worth a look. The first is the work of the Institute for the Study of War and gives a broader overview of the battlefield, as well as the enormous level of risk that Volodomyr Zelensky took by visiting the front around Lysychansk yesterday.
