Rome, 5 July 2022 – The Russian army advances in Donbass in the 132nd day of war in Ukraine. The forces of Kiev were forced to fall back and have set up new defense lines in the region of Donetsk. Positions, according to observers from the British Ministry of Defense, more easily defensible and from where to launch the much-heralded counter-offensive in the south of the country. Sergiy Gaidai, governor of Lugansk, a region now completely in the hands of the Army, urged the West to provide other weapons, especially long-range, so as to allow the Ukrainian army to return to office in the newly abandoned territories. Putin’s generals, after the conquest of Lysychansk, the key city for the control of Lugansk, are now aiming for the cities of the Donetsk oblast. Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and Bakhmut they are heavily bombed, and will soon be in check. The Ukrainian bombings on Russian territory are disturbing Moscow’s plans: several locations across the border, in the Russian Kursk region, Ukrainian forces were hit, Governor Roman Starovoit reported today. Bombs fell on the village of Markovo and the Tyotkino settlement.
Moscow: after Lugansk now Donetsk
President Vladimir Putin claimed victory in the Lugansk region, and now Moscow is aiming for the conquest of cities in the Donetsk region to have complete control of the Donbass. There “relatively quick conquest” of Lysychansk shows, according to the British intelligence report, that “unlike earlier stages of the war, Russia has probably achieved reasonably effective coordination between at least two groups of forces, the core group probably commanded by the general-colonel Alexander Lapin and the southern group probably under the command of the general Even Sergei Surovik recently nominated. “In the Donbass in particular, Moscow used a strategy of slow approach, favored by the constant bombardment of artillery” leveling towns and cities in the process. The fighting in Donetsk Oblast will almost certainly continue like this “, concludes the 007 in London.
In the past 24 hours, 2 civilians have been killed, and four others injured, in Russian bombing in the Donetsk region, the head of the regional and military administration, Pavlo Kyrylenko, said. Six people were wounded in the Sumy region, in eastern Ukraine, by Russian artillery fire. The Moscow army fired missiles at a school in the village of Esman, wounding four people. Missiles on Mykolaiv, on the other hand in the south of the country, the administration has not specified whether there are injuries or victims. Bombs also targeted the communities of Inhulska, Bereznehuvatska, Bashtanska, Shyrokivska and the village of Lymany in the Halytsynivska community.
