Lysichansk-Bakhmut highway: what you need to know
- On May 8, the occupation troops of Russia began to fire heavily on the Lysichansk-Bakhmut highway. Therefore, it was even necessary to immediately stop the evacuation of the civilian population from the region. Then the work of the “road of life” completely stopped for a few days. It was impossible not only to take away people, but also to bring humanitarian aid.
- The Russian invaders are trying to cut off supplies of aid to Lisichansk and Severodonetsk by seizing the Lisichansk-Bakhmut highway. However, it is under the control of Ukrainian troops, but it is dangerous to move along it.
- Despite the constant shelling, this route continues to deliver humanitarian supplies to Lysichansk. And it is she who evacuates the civilian population of these cities.
- The invaders tried several times to enter the Bakhmut-Lysichansk highway, but suffered only significant losses and were forced to retreat.
- In addition, yesterday, May 28, Ukrainian defenders smashed the checkpoint of the Russians on the “road of life” Lisichansk – Bakhmut, and the invaders themselves were scattered on the ground by a shock wave. The day before, the enemy broke through to the highway, but our soldiers drove him out.
The offensives in Borovskoye and Bobrovoe were also repulsed. the Russians retreated to their previously occupied positions.
Ukrainian soldiers managed to repel seven enemy attacks in the Donbass over the past day, destroy one tank and six enemy vehicles. In addition, air defense units destroyed an Orlan-10 UAV.
Severodonetsk and Lisichansk under fire
According to Gaidai, the rashists are still in the hotel of the regional center among the mountains of the corpses of their brothers. They are continuously storming the city and introducing battles.
Thus, Lysichansk and Ustinovka suffered yesterday from enemy aircraft and artillery. A shell flew into the high-rise building. four were injured and are in the hospital. Unfortunately, one woman died.
Also, Russian infidels smashed the cinema building with an airstrike. It was lucky that there were no people.
As for Severodonetsk, on his birthday he is barely alive. The Russians continue to systematically destroy the city along with civilians. On May 28, one woman died in the old district of Severodonetsk. As a result of the attacks of the invader, about 13 high-rise buildings were damaged in the city over the past day.
At the same time, more than 60 destructions occurred in the region per day, in particular, in the settlements of Gornaya and Popasnyanskaya communities.
