British intelligence confirms Ukrainians’ resumption in Chevroletonetsk

In its daily progress report, which aired on social media, the British Ministry of Defense’s intelligence service pointed out that the Ukrainians were based in Severdonetsk, but that the Russians’ aim was to actually control the entire city.

“This weekend, Ukrainian forces have re-established themselves in Severodonetsk, but Russian forces continue to occupy the eastern districts of the city. Russia’s strategy is to no doubt sever Severodonetsk from the north and south,” the report read first.

Before noting that Russian motives have not changed. “Russia landed on the southern axis of Bopasna in May, but its advances were halted over the weekend.
