Putin’s Men Rip Ukrainian Defences In Siversk With New Armour After Kyiv ‘Kills’ Russian Commander

Russia’s army continues its steady advance along key frontlines in Ukraine, with new assaults reported near Siversk, Mylove, Vovchansk, and Donetsk. The U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) confirmed that Russian forces launched a company-sized mechanised assault with tanks, APCs, and motorcycles northeast of Siversk. Ukrainian troops repelled the attack, using tanks, buggies, and heavy firepower. In Kharkiv’s Velykyi Burluk, Ukraine claimed the killing of Russian Colonel Lebedev, commander of the 83rd Motorised Rifle Regiment. Russian command has not responded to the report. Watch.
