Haidai: "This is the second week of hot weather, sun, no rain. The water level in the river has fallen quite dramatically. We can already even see the Russian equipment that sank while trying to cross into Bilohorovka.
That is, about three metres – or even more – the river has already dropped. And perhaps there will still be opportunities and attempts to cross the river and make a new bridgehead in the area of Bilohorovka."
Details: According to the head of the military administration of the region, Popasna, Toshkivka and Sievierodonetsk remain the most intense fronts. Heavy fighting is taking place on the streets of Sievierodonetsk. In the city, there is extremely heavy artillery fire from the Russian invaders, after which they attack with armoured vehicles.
Haidai said that the Russians have been firing artillery at the positions of the Ukrainian military on the territory of the Azot plant for several hours. As a result of oil leaking from radiators, a strong fire started on the territory.
At night, the Russians used a Solntsepek thermobaric rocket launcher system against the Ukrainian defenders.
Background:
- On the morning of 11 June, Haidai reported that the Russians entered the village of Orikhove.
- On 9 June, Russian invaders burned down the premises of the ice palace in Sievierodonetsk.
- Haidai claimed that the military command of the Russian Federation had to withdraw Buryat units from Sievierodonetsk because they cannot withstand the battles with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
