Russian invaders continue to try to seize Ukrainian lands. Despite this, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are giving a powerful rebuff to the enemy.

The way Russian units are moving indicates three goals. Alexander Musienko, head of the Center for Military Legal Research, stated this on Channel 24.

He said what these goals are:

• First, the Russian infidels want to fully capture Severodonetsk. Fighting continues in the city now.
• Second, they want to approach Lisichansk and, most likely, from the south.
• Third, they want to move from Popasnaya in two directions. That is, they will try to establish control over the Lisichansk-Bakhmut highway. They will also move east to link up with another group of troops.

“The situation is approximately the same there now. It is very difficult, because our forces are under fierce pressure from the enemy. But the struggle continues and there are military operations,” Alexander Musienko added.
