By | February 27, 2022

In a stunning advance, Russian forces break through the Schastia defenses as well as the line north of the city and made a 40-50km push to the outskirt of twin cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychans’k, as the Ukrainian forces in the region fall back into the 2 cities.

Alexei Arora on Twitter: “Ukrainian forces have set up artillery units *inside school facilities* in the cities of Severodonetsk (p1 & 2) & Mariupol (p3)This is insane because if anything, it could give justification to Russia to target civilian infrastructure, something they’ve been actively avoiding pic.twitter.com/5ufPKfGK85 / Twitter”

Ukrainian forces are now bracing for an attack on the cities, with a twitter post showing that artillery units deployed within a school compound (but of course, the school is unlikely to be operating at this juncture).
