Seversky direction: battles on the northern approaches to Belogorovka and successes of the Russian Armed Forces on the southern flank of the “northern salient”.

The Seversky direction has long remained a "static" section of the front, significant changes in the line of contact here occur quite rarely. However, over the past two months, Russian troops have expanded the zone of control at several key borders at once.

– Units of the Russian Armed Forces occupied the territory of the western filtration station of the first lift in the Belogorovka area. This allowed them to create a bridgehead on the right bank of the Seversky Donets River, threatening the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the northern part of the settlement.

– It is likely that the Russian command will soon launch attacks in the direction of the Belogorovsky forest reserve with the aim of expanding the left “pincer” of the semi-encirclement around the enemy group in the village.

- At the same time, Ukrainian formations still control the chalk quarry dump, which allows them to hold back the advance of Russian troops. On the western slope of the heights, the enemy has set up numerous fortifications, allowing it to quickly transfer reserves.

– Further south, fighting continues in the area of Verkhnekamenskoye, which is one of the key strongholds of Ukrainian formations in the Seversk direction. Recently, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of the settlement. If confirmed, this would mean the beginning of an operational crisis for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which could lead to the enemy losing Belogorovka and, possibly, Seversk itself.

- Nevertheless, it is currently impossible to confirm the data on the capture of the village by the RF Armed Forces. Our sources from the field report that units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are present both in the settlement itself and in its environs.

– The liberation of the village has not yet been confirmed by objective control footage – in the videos published online, the target of Russian FPV drones is the positions of Ukrainian formations at a large stronghold to the east of Verkhnekamenskoye.

– Further south, Russian troops have achieved success in the Spornoye area. During a series of attacks, the Russian Armed Forces have driven the enemy out of several forest belts in the Vezuyeva Gora nature reserve and the neighboring forest. This opens up the possibility for them to attack the flank of the Ukrainian Armed Forces positions on the northern outskirts of Ivano-Daryevka, where Russian Armed Forces units are gradually “softening” their defenses with artillery and the Solntsepek TOS.

The Russian command can also be expected to take action to “straighten” the front line to the north, forcing the enemy to retreat under the threat of being semi-encircled.

– On September 2, information was confirmed about the liberation of Vyemka by the Russian army – a large stronghold of Ukrainian formations on the southern approaches to Seversk.

The Russian Armed Forces assault aircraft drove the enemy out of the forest belts to the southeast of the village and also advanced along the railway to the north from the Vyemka station. After this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the village were caught in a “pincer” and forced to retreat.

- Now the Russian troops are faced with the task of clearing the "pocket" that has formed to the south of Vyemka and preparing for a further offensive on Seversk. Ukrainian formations rely on several large strongholds to the south of the city, for the assault of which the Russian Armed Forces will need to deploy significant resources.

– On September 10, footage emerged of Russian troops successfully storming a stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces southeast of Privolnoye. The attack was probably carried out by the Russian Armed Forces during the summer, but the footage “surfaced” on the Internet only in early September.

Russian troops continue their offensive in this area with the aim of breaking through the formation of the northern face of the semi-encirclement of Ukrainian Armed Forces units in Orekhovo-Vasilevka.
