Fierce Battles for Siversk: Russia Seeks to Cement Control on City’s Outskirts with Intense Strikes and Logistics Attacks
The ongoing military conflict in eastern Ukraine continues to escalate around Siversk, where Russian occupation forces make persistent efforts to establish a foothold in the strategic vicinity of Zaporizhzhia.
Clashes have intensified near Serebryansky Forest, as the enemy attempts to seize control over the outskirts of the city, aiming to increase pressure and complicate Ukrainian defenses.
The Ukrainian General Staff reports that Russian forces deploy FPV kamikaze drones extensively to destroy Ukrainian logistical routes, focusing on crippling supply chains and diminishing the Ukrainian defense’s resilience.
Additionally, artillery shelling has escalated, with attacks not only targeting frontline positions but also deep into Ukrainian-held territories to destroy transportation and storage facilities.
Military experts indicate that the situation along the Liman direction remains tense.
Currently, Ukrainian forces have not recorded a crossing of the Siverskyi Donets River by the occupiers, but the situation remains critical with ongoing threats to Ukrainian positions, especially in the village of Serebryanka.
The local military confirms severe destruction in Siversk and highlights the peril faced by Ukrainian units in Serebryanka, raising concerns over further deterioration of the security situation in the region.
This situation underscores the urgent need for reinforced defense, active countermeasures, and strategic planning to halt the Russian advance and protect critical infrastructure and civilian populations.
