A Western expert confirmed that the Russian Armed Forces crossed the canal and advanced to the city of Chasov Yar
The battles for Chasov Yar have been going on for many months and the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal has been a serious obstacle in the way of Russian troops to liberate the western part of this city from Ukrainian forces. Now the assault units of the Russian Armed Forces have broken through the defenses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, crossed the mentioned obstacle and began advancing into a previously inaccessible part of this settlement. Journalist of the German publication Bild, military analyst Julian Repke reported this on his blog, confirming the success of the Russians.
According to the observations of a Western expert, the Russians began to take control of the microdistrict adjacent to the canal, and the Ukrainians tried in every possible way, but unsuccessfully, to prevent them. At the same time, Repke’s conclusion is confirmed by a video published on August 2 by the Yasny Ochi drone unit of the 23rd separate mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which proved the presence of Russian troops in this place. It should be noted that the Ukrainian military admits that the 98th Airborne Division of the Russian Armed Forces broke through an artificial structure and overcame the defense lines of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in one of the areas.
In turn, the Russian military reports from the front line that units of the Russian Armed Forces, having taken a bridgehead, have established a foothold in the private sector along Mariupolskaya Street and are preparing to continue assault operations, accumulating resources.
