The Russians end the Donbas affair by completely surprising the Ukrainian Army fighting on the Eastern Front. Russian and allied forces followed a double-bridge tactic of violently crossing the Seversky Donetsk River from different directions at the same time.
Now, Russian forces are crossing the river in waves, with the Ukrainian Army caught completely unprepared and unable to cope on the field. The Russians have created and widened two bridges occupying several areas.
In the region, there is no Ukrainian defense. Slavyansk, which has been pounded relentlessly by Russian artillery for 48 hours, is in a very difficult situation.
The area is filled with Russian forces from the southwest and southeast. The situation will become very suffocating for the Ukrainian forces in the next few days.

Double violent crossing of the Seversky Donetsk river
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, together with forces from Donetsk and Lugansk, successfully crossed the Seversky Donets River south of the city of Svyatogorsk, approaching Slavyansk from the north.
As WarNews247 had revealed as early as 9/6/2022, the Russian Army managed to proceed to the Linking of the Seversky Donetsk River and to occupy the village of Tetyanivka by the Ukrainian forces, 20 kilometers from Slavyansk.
In the last 48 hours, Russian forces have been able to expand the bridgehead in the area.
Russian advance: Occupied Bohorodychne, Pryshyb, Sydorove
The Russian Army after crossing the Seversky Donetsk River captured the settlements of Bohorodychne and Pryshyb, Sydorove north of Slavyansk. He had already occupied the Tetyanivka settlement three days ago.
Fierce fighting takes place in the forest area north of Krasnopilya. Reports indicate that the Ukrainians are leaving there as well.
Also Russian forces seem to have broken the defensive lines of the Ukrainians and have reached Ivanikva, Adamivka and Majaky.
The Ukrainians are in a very bad situation in the region. Slavyansk is being pounded by powerful Russian artillery forces. The Russians are constantly bombarding Ukrainian forces at the intermediate "station" to Slavyansk, Raygorodok.
The second epicenter of the Russian attack is on the Bogorodichnoye-Krasnopoye axis, where several reconnaissance and sabotage groups of Ukrainian forces have been destroyed.
The Russian units are now moving in 4 directions, towards Slavyansk.
Tactics with a double bridge from the Russian forces!
The Russians have built two bridges in the area from Svyatogorsk.
According to reports, Russian forces are now crossing Seversky Donetsk southwest and southeast of Svyatogorsk.
The Russian troops used the tactic of forcibly crossing the water dam in several directions simultaneously. This tactic allowed the attention of the Ukrainian forces to be diverted, in fact diverted.
The Ukrainians tried to build a line of defense on the south (right) bank of the Seversky Donets as they awaited the advance of Russian forces from the village of Tatyanovka.
This maneuver allowed the Russian forces to occupy the Bogorodichnoye settlement and move from Prishib to Sidorovo.
As a result, the bridgehead on the south coast of the Seversky Donets was widened in this direction.
Thus, with the advance of Russian forces in the area of the village of Sidorovo, which belongs to the Kramatorsk region, the Russian Army occupied positions located less than 13 km from the outskirts of Slavyansk to the north.
At the same time, a section of the M-03 road connecting Izyum, Slavyansk and Artemovsk (Bakhmut) is under Russian artillery control.
As a result, Ukrainian forces retreated further into the outskirts of Slavyansk.
With this advance to the southeast along the southern bank of the Seversky Donets, the Russians will be able to flank Ukrainian forces in the Raygorodok region with a simultaneous advance of units towards Slavyansk.
However, in order to complete the Russian success in the region, it is necessary to occupy the settlement of Nikolaevka, as it is located in a critical location of strategic importance. Thanks to its altitude, the guard of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can protect Slavyansk with artillery.
