Russia wins: All of Donbass history lost to Kyiv - 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers surrounded!Ukrainian forces cut off in Kharkov as well
Article writer: Vassilis Kapoulas
A "bomb" has exploded for several hours at the headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as the historic Donbass border (not those controlled before the Donetsk-Lugansk war) passes under Russian control.
Ukraine is losing an entire administrative district and the worst is yet to come: the Ukrainian forces defending Kharkov are also surrounded.
The Russians moving in two directions (see map below) closed the pocket they had artificially created with the result that 50-60,000 Ukrainian soldiers, the most ready of the Ukrainian Army, are currently surrounded.
In the last 48 hours, in SE Ukraine the progress of the Russian Army and Donetsk-Lugansk forces is focused on the following points:
In the control of the cities of Mariupol, Skadovsk, Volnovakha (junction and stronghold of the Ukrainian forces) and Popasnaya, in the occupation of the city of Izyum in Kharkov and in the encirclement of 50-60,000 Ukrainian forces in Donbass.
The Russians have hit Ukrainian forces hard with surgical moves. See the maps how they have changed in the area.
The city of Skadovsk, which is controlled by the Russian Army, is located 94 km from the Kherson region. It is a port in the Black Sea region of southern Ukraine. The Russians now control the entire coastline of Hersonissos.
At the same time in Mariupol Russian forces have entered the city and are developing in the areas Zhovtnevyi, Kalmiuskyi and Livoberezhnyi.
