#Siverskyi #Donets_Donbas canal.
#ISW analysts say that the #Russians are 700-800 meters east of the channel and have not yet advanced in the western part. This area contributes to the tactical defence of #Ukraine. #Russian troops will have to either cross the canal from the west or bypass the canal from the side of the "New" microdistrict.
The spokesman of the "#Khortytsia" troop group, Lt. Col. #Nazar_Voloshyn emphasized that the #Russian troops have not yet forced the canal.
