Armed Forces of Ukraine, after retreat from Severodonetsk , fortified and held the defense of Lysychansk, while the Russian army, leaving an attempt to force the Seversky Donets, bypassed the reservoir. Russian troops are gradually bypassing Popasnaya, writes the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom.
The main fighting is currently concentrated around the Lysychansk refinery, which is only 10 km southwest of the city center. However, without abandoning attempts to surround the Ukrainian Defense Forces, the Russians are trying to achieve at least some success in the Izyum direction.
“It is likely that the ability of Ukrainian forces to continue and prolong hostilities and then properly withdraw troops before they are surrounded will continue to be a key factor in the campaign,” British intelligence said.
