A section of the R-66 highway from Kreminna to Siverodonetsk in the Luhansk region is now within full range of the Ukrainian army’s artillery, reported Alexander Kovalenko, a military and political observer from the Information Resistance group. In doing so, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have significantly complicated the logistics in the area for the Russian military. According to Kovalenko, Russia is suffering heavy losses among its mobilized soldiers at the Svatove-Kreminna line, where the Russian command has been trying to contain the actions of the AFU for more than two months.
Military analyst Def Mon stressed that Svatove is now within the Ukrainian army’s twenty-five-kilometer artillery range, which allows for the use of long-range shells.
