Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

Today, our artillery has been actively working since early morning, supporting the advancing units of the Russian army. We are advancing from the north in the direction of Slavyansk, which is less than 20 km away. Subdivisions of the RF Armed Forces have reached the outskirts of Bogorodichne settlement, fire damage is inflicted on the enemy defending the settlement. Krasnopolie and Dolina.

Groups of Russian special forces continue to clear a large forest north of Krasnopolye, from which the enemy received reinforcements and where he went in case of hard shelling. In the forests, there is shooting and mine warfare, fortified areas in settlements (where often every house with a basement, this is a firing point) is fired by artillery and tanks.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine practically does not try to counterattack, they respond with artillery and mortars, although the fire is quite dense. Apparently, despite the numerical superiority, the Ukrainian defense will soon collapse. Yesterday, Russian troops took Svyatogorsk, today the northern grouping of the Russian Armed Forces is knocking out the enemy from an extremely convenient area for defense north of Slavyanka, where an abundance of forests, settlements and rivers contributes to a long-term defense.

No one has hatred moods, everyone understands that the enemy is serious and there are a lot of them. But extremely heavy losses in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine make themselves felt, and our artillery, which has significantly increased its level compared to the beginning of the operation, multiplies the losses of the Ukrainian side.
