📝Counterattacks at the canal — Rybar's analysis📝 In mid-summer, Russian forces continued their offensive on the approaches to the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk urban area. The most intense fighting unfolded on the flanks of the direction, where units of the Guards "South" sought to expand their control zone beyond the Seversky Donets — Donbas canal and seize the near approaches to Slavyansk. ➡️By late August, forward infiltration groups had penetrated into Nikolaivka, which serves as the key to the agglomeration's defense. To the south, Russian forces developed attacks toward Pervomayivka and attempted to establish a unified stable bridgehead on the right bank of the canal. ➡️In parallel, assault groups methodically advanced in Ray-Aleksandrivka and for some time completely occupied the village. Nevertheless, the "echo" of problems on the Lyman direction reached the approaches to Slavyansk, as by late September the AFU transitioned to counterattacks and reached the center of the settlement. 📌 Similar enemy counterattacks followed on other sectors of the direction with the goal of preventing Russian forces from unifying their bridgeheads beyond the canal. At present, the "southerners" are attempting to hold previously captured positions and regain control over Ray-Aleksandrivka. #video #digest #Russia #Slavyansk #Ukraine ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg
