Not sure what’s going on in Severodonetsk but every source we talked to told us something else. We managed to get in contact with someone from Severodonetsk and they told us that “shooting continues but much less intense than before”

From what we gather, most Ukrops fled while some are hiding in industrial zones and buildings; suggesting that the Russians and Chechens are carrying out door-to-door cleansing ops.

Yurii Podolyaka :

„I have just talked to our fighters at the Kherson front and asked about the „counter attack“

The situation is as follows, 15:00 29th May 2022

201 AFU corpses identified, several unidentifiable corpses.“

Successful counterattack

Attack on Donbass: situation in eastern Ukraine by the end of May 29, 2022

▪️In the north of the Kharkiv region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine made an unsuccessful attempt to attack Dementievka, losing several pieces of equipment. At the same time, Ukrainian units are equipping positions near Khotomlya in order to gain a foothold on the left bank of the Pechenezh reservoir.

▪️In the Slavic direction, units of the Ukrainian 79th brigade that retreated from Liman are building defensive lines in the area of ​​Svyatogorsk. In the vicinity of the villages of Dibrovo and Shchurovo, units of the RF Armed Forces are clearing forests.

▪️By the end of the day, there were reports of a complete retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Severodonetsk. Footage from the outskirts of the city and interviews with local residents confirm that at least half of the settlement is already under the control of the Allied Forces.

▪️In the Soledar direction, combined detachments of the 14th OMBR and other units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to hold the line on the Pokrovskoye-Berestovoye-Vrubovka line.

The Ukrainian armed formations attempted a counter-offensive in Belogorivka to unblock the Bakhmut-Lysichansk highway, but the road is still under the fire control of the Allied Forces.

▪️ Heavy fighting continues near Avdiivka with the aim of reaching the outskirts of the city from the eastern and northeastern sides. The Armed Forces of Ukraine inflict rocket and artillery strikes on residential areas of Donetsk and Makiivka.

Soledar Front Update: The allied forces are contesting the Ukrainian defensive lines along the Artyomovsk(Bakhmut)-Lisichansk supply route, with Ukrainian forces attempting to hold the Pokrovskoye-Berestovoye-Vrubovka concave arc.

The Allied offensive along the main route toward Artyomovsk finds the Ukrainian stronghold at Pilipchatino is semi-encirclement, with the Allies advancing to the south, from Klinovo, attacking Pilipchatino directly, and bypassing it from the north along the line from Popasnaya toward Vladimirovka and Novaya Kamenka.

At Belogorovka, which sits atop the Soledar-Lisichansk highway, the attempted Ukrainian counteroffensive has produced no results.

Near Vrubovka and Kamyshevakha, fighting continues, with the Allies making steady progress.

"Counteroffensive" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson direction: or "attack of the doomed"

So, details. On May 29, at 22.30, the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to launch a new attack in the Berislav direction. Apparently, the "attack" on May 28, where an entire battalion got into the fire bag and was destroyed, was a kind of "reconnaissance in combat" with a sad result for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

And despite this, they decided not to cancel the "offensive" plans, and therefore several battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at once from the Apostolovo region (in the north) and in the Davydov Brod region (from the west) tried to launch a simultaneous night attack.

But, it is very likely that the impression of the defeat of the 28th on the warriors was oppressive, and they really did not want to go on the attack, and therefore, as soon as both columns came under artillery attack, they immediately and, obviously with relief, turned back.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation confirmed the fact of the strike on the operational control point of the Operational Command "South" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Novy Bug, which was reported in the morning. According to the information received, 37 officers, including 3 generals, were killed as a result of the strike.

If the above is correct (which I'm still quite skeptical of) this would have been a strike on one of, if not -the- main command post of Ukraine's OC-South.

This CP may have been detected during preparations for Ukraine's aforementioned offensive.

3 June. Readovka map.

Ironically my assessment is that the system's more survivable than that lol.

United States, Britain and the European Union in recent weeks, according to CNN, are holding regular meetings and discussing a possible diplomatic settlement in Ukraine, while Kiev is not included in these discussions, despite the US promise "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine"

😂😂😂😂😂

Severodonetsk 05/06/2022

1. Fighting continues in the area of ​​the Azot chemical plant industrial zone. The enemy also maintains communication with Lysychansk through one of the damaged bridges—heavy equipment passes there with great difficulty, but vehicles pass [more easily].

2. The transfer of reinforcements from Lysychansk to Severodonetsk, after the Ukrainian Armed Forces had surrendered almost the entire city, made it possible to stay in the Azot area and start battles in the adjacent residential area, while Ukrainian sources themselves admit that there is no ambition to recapture Severodonetsk. The fighting will accordingly continue in the industrial area, and part of Severodonetsk will soon turn into an analogue of Mariupol in terms of destruction of high-rise buildings and other residential buildings, taking into account the active work of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' artillery in Severodonetsk.

3. It is unlikely that the command of the RF Armed Forces planned to storm Lysychansk head-on after taking the industrial zone of Severodonetsk. The real assault on Lysychansk will come when they break through the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Privolye and Ustinovka, advancing to the outskirts of the city—regardless of what will happen in the [Azot] industrial complex.

4. Of key importance for all these battles is the struggle for the Artemovsk-Lysychansk highway, since control over it will ddevalue ​any efforts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to hold Lysychansk and Severodonetsk, unless, of course, there is a plan to sacrifice the entire grouping of the Ukrainian  Armed Forces, as well as all the foreign mercenaries who were abandoned to hold the Azot industrial zone.

5. So far, the RF Armed Forces have ensured complete fire control over the route, which has already affected the supply of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk. But there is no complete block on the highway yet, so individual vehicles and groups are still passing; however full-fledged supply, which was possible back in the first half of May, can no longer be ensured, despite all efforts to push the RF Armed Forces away from the area of ​​Belogorovka and Berestovoye. The current task of the RF Armed Forces in this direction is to grind the enemy's reserves in the upcoming battles and cross the Artemovsk-Lysychansk highway.

6. Naturally, the activity of the RF Armed Forces in the direction of Seversk is also expected, since taking under fire control (which is not yet achieved) the Artemovsk-Seversk-Lysychansk highway will lead to the notorious operational encirclement of the Severodonetsk grouping, which will simply lose the ability to re-supply through Artemovsk, and any retreat will entail serious losses.

7. Therefore, in the near future, on the one hand, we will observe positional battles in the area of ​​​​the Severodonetsk industrial zone and high-intensity battles north of Soledar.
