The offensive in the Severodonetsk direction has slowed down
Adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs Rostislav Smirnov explained why the Russians slowed down the offensive in the Severodonetsk direction. First of all, he noted that the occupiers were simply running out of strength. This is not surprising, because they are making considerable efforts, but still cannot achieve the desired result.
In addition, slowing down may indicate a regrouping of troops.And Ukrainian defenders must be ready for this. But it should not be ruled out that the invaders simply continue to follow the “scorched earth” tactics. It is used in those settlements that could not be captured in a matter of days.
On the eve of the well-coordinated work of the military and border guards, said the speaker of the GNSU Andrei Demchenko. He noted that the Ukrainian artillery was successfully sent to the enemy positions in Severodonetsk. We did it on June 6 with the help of drones. Bottom line: the enemy was fired from mortars.
Head of the Luhansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai said that the occupiers plan to capture Severodonetsk before June 10th. For this they threw all their efforts in this direction. But so far they have not been able to take control of the city, because the Ukrainian military is courageously defending it.
National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov stressed that enemy artillery has been hitting Severodonetsk all day long. So the situation both in the city itself and near it is extremely difficult. And although the Ukrainian military manages to hold the line, it becomes more and more difficult to do this every day.
