[ColonelCassad] According to the situation near Severdonetsk on the evening of May 12.
1. The enemy failed in his attempts to hold Voevodovka. The bridge between Rubizhne and Severodonetsk was blown up. Despite the fact that the Gauleiter of the LPR acknowledged the loss of Voevodovka yesterday, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine asserted today that Voevodovka is still holding out. Although the undermined bridge speaks best of how the battles ended. Also taken South.
2. Fights for Belogorovka continue. The main supply route Soledar-Lysichansk is under fire from the RF Armed Forces. Vehicle traffic is unsafe. Most likely, part of the supply will be switched to a secondary road through Verkhnekamenka.
The enemy shells the crossing near Belogorovka. Both sides confirm serious losses on both sides. Judging by the published photographs, our main losses fell on the crossing of the Seversky Donets. However, the very fact of fighting for Belogorovka confirms that it was not possible to completely block the crossing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
3. An offensive is developing north of Popasnaya in the direction of Kamyshevakhi (creating a threat to cover the fortified area in Zolote and Gorsky) + they are probing the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of Artemovsk.
4. There are battles for Orekhovo and Toshkovo. To date, no significant progress has been reported.
5. There are also battles on the outskirts of Severodonetsk. In the morning it was reported about the occupation of houses on the outskirts of the city. The current situation there is unclear.
6. The battles for Privolye began. After the capture of Privolye, an attack on Novodruzhesk can be expected.
The enemy recognizes the deterioration of the operational situation for the Severodonetsk grouping, but expects to hold on due to the transferred reserves from Artemovsk.
