Author: David Batashvili, Research Fellow at the Rondeli Foundation

This is a special issue of the Rondeli Russian Military Digest dedicated to the Russo-Ukrainian War, composed on the basis of numerous open sources.

 

Donbas Area – North and Oskil River Area

Ukrainian forces crossed the Siverskyi Donets River at several places north of Slovyansk, eliminating the possibility of Russians using this potential defensive line.

In particular, Ukrainians liberated the town of Svyatohirsk, continued the battle for Lyman were the Russian garrison continued resistance, crossed the river south of Yampil, and also crossed it south of Kreminna subsequently advancing towards this town.

Ukrainians had also gained some territory east of the Oskil River, including near Borova.

Thus Russians failed to exploit the Oskil-Siverskyi Donets river barrier that potentially could have protected, for a while, the whole northern part of their front.
