If you are guided by the reports of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then they usually reflect the real state of affairs with a delay of 2-3 days. I specifically referred to a report by a civilian correspondent for Russian television who does not work on the front lines. Severodonetsk has been taken, a cleansing operation is underway in the city, the remnants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been forced out into the industrial zone and are deprived of the opportunity to leave for Lisichansk - all bridges have been destroyed or are under full fire control of Russia.
Nope, I used ISW report and this map
https://deepstatemap.live/en#6/52.650/38.639And correct me if I'm wrong, but russian defense ministry haven't announced that city is under their control.
What is known about the situation in Severodonetsk last night.
The head of the Lugansk OVA, Sergei Gaidai,
reports that the fighting in the city continues, it is not blocked, although he acknowledged that the Russian Armed Forces and the People's Militia of the LPR control most of Severodonetsk.
The Rybar Telegram channel
writes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have moved away from residential areas to the industrial zone of the Azot plant.
Ramzan Kadyrov
said that the total cleansing of Severodonetsk had been completed, "the enemy in the city had been defeated."
Military correspondent of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company Yevgeny Poddubny
writes that the RF Armed Forces and the People's Militia of the LPR have taken control of the northern, eastern and central parts of the city, and the cleansing of Severodonetsk from the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been completed in 85% of the territories of previously occupied city blocks. In addition, Poddubny reports that the Russian Armed Forces have reached the Severodonetsk CHPP.
According to the American Institute for the Study of War, the Russian Armed Forces control the northeastern and southeastern outskirts of Severodonetsk, continuing to fortify within the city. It is also reported that the Russian Armed Forces and the People's Militia of the LPR are fighting south of Severodonetsk in Toshkovka, Ustinovka, Voronovo, Borovskoye and Metolkino, trying to take the city into the "cauldron" from the south. This link is for May 30, a day behind.
Summarizing the above, it seems that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have no chances to keep Severodonetsk (or it has already been taken). Do you want to talk about it?
ps
Chechens of Kadyrov in the SBU building in SeverodonetskWho started the war? Russians, without a question. Why? Because Ukraine wants to join NATO and you are afraid of NATO, is this right or do you really believe in the military operation motives that Putin said days before the war?
You have to seriously ask yourself some questions. Why is it always Russia that has problems with bordered countries? Georgia - 2008, Crimea - 2014, Ukraine - 2022.
Why do Polish dislike Russians more than Germans? I know three languages, German, English and Russian. I had no problem in Poland when I was asking someone a question in German and English but when they were hearing Russian (I have a great Russian accent, I have lived in Moscow too), sometimes they were ignoring me or weren't bothering.
Do you know why? Because Germany changed and Russia didn't. Germans don't worship Hitler but Russians worship Stalin. Germans dislike what Hitler did but Russians like what Stalin did and some people even pray for him. Russia hasn't changed a single, it still has imperialistic goals.
Ask yourself, why post-soviet 1. Joined 2. Are joining and 3. Want to join NATO but don't want to return back to the USSR?
Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and Slovakia. Have you heard about these countries or do you know from your history that some of them were part of the Soviet Union and some of them were satellite nations of the Soviet Union?
You guys better ask yourself why Putin and other guys are rich, have multi-billion dollars, palaces and you have a low quality of life outside the Moscow and Saints Peterburg, dream to get higher education abroad.
Visit Norway and see how Norway spends its income on its citizens. Then ask yourself, why Putin doesn't do the same.
Wow, so much expression and sharp questions. I don't care about your Russophobia, I'm not trying to please you here. Я pyccкий и мнe нe нyжнo oдoбpeниe oт зaпaднoгo oбщecтвa дeгeнepaтoв, кoтopыe цeлyют нeгpaм нoги, cтыдяcь cвoeгo кoлoниaльнoгo пpoшлoгo, чecтвyют пeдepacтoв и пoдвepгaют диcкpиминaции бeлыx гeтepoceкcyaльныx мyжчин пpocтo пoтoмy, чтo oни бeлыe и гeтepoceкcyaльныe. At some point, the West took a wrong turn, it was during the Great Depression. You forgot your traditional values and Christian virtue and sold your soul to the Golden Calf. Now the Dollar is your God and "make money" is your only mantra. Now you are flying into the abyss, but Russia will not follow you. We do not need your land and we are not afraid of NATO, just put your missiles away and let us live on our land as we want. And if the answer is "no" - we will take all your Nutella and Russia will be from Lisbon to Tokyo, including London.
