Russians are forcing the Siversky Donets: what goals the occupiers pursue.

According to inkorr.com: Russian troops are intensifying their efforts in the Siversky direction, attempting to cross the Siversky Donets River for assault operations. This was reported by the spokesperson of the 11th Army Corps, Dmitry Zaporozhets, during a telethon.

Russia's offensive actions in wooded areas

Zaporozhets noted that the enemy has intensified its offensive in the Serebryansky forestry, but the dense forest complicates their destruction. Ukrainian units are doing everything possible to prevent the Russians from advancing further.

'There are instances when the enemy swims across the Siversky Donets River to conduct assault operations towards Serebryanka,' the spokesperson noted.

The Russian military is using a specific movement tactic, moving through the forest one or two at a time, avoiding open battles and circumventing Ukrainian positions. Although the number of Russian attacks has somewhat decreased, the occupiers have not abandoned their goal of establishing a foothold on the outskirts of Siversk before the onset of autumn rains.

Confrontation of Ukrainian defenders

'The enemy sometimes manages to reach the outskirts, but they are effectively destroyed by the units stationed there. The enemy is trying to use green areas before the onset of precipitation to regroup forces and conduct assault operations,' the spokesperson added.

'The density of the forest does not allow for actively and quickly destroying the enemy, as they are constantly on the move. Therefore, UAV operators are making significant efforts,' Zaporozhets explained.

Despite the difficult conditions in the wooded area, Ukrainian defenders continue to hold back the Russian advance.

In the Siversky direction, Russian troops are trying to advance, using wooded areas and the Siversky Donets River for assault operations. Ukrainian units are actively resisting attacks, striving to halt the enemy's advance to the front positions.

In the context of intensified hostilities in the Siversky direction, the role of Ukrainian defenders remains crucial as they take all possible measures to counter the attack in the challenging forest conditions. This stage of the war, in particular, demonstrates the ability of the troops to adapt to difficulties and maintain their positions in the fight against the aggressor.
