Russian forces from the southern group continued to launch attacks on the eastern wing of Seversk, capturing a forested area northwest of Novoselovka, then destroying the strong defensive fortifications of the Ukrainian forces in Novoselovka, and quickly advancing towards the suburbs of Seversk. Currently, Russian forces are less than 1,500 meters away from the suburbs. Despite this, the Ukrainian forces are still fighting desperately to prevent the Russian advance. The Ukrainian reserves have been moved toward this direction and have been quickly deployed into combat.
In general, the situation of the Russian operations in the Seversk direction is as follows: encirclement is being carried out from Seleyanka in the north, while the main attack continues as usual from Verkhnye Kameny. The Ukrainian forces clearly understand that losing Seversk would mean the eastern gate of Slavyansk would be kicked open by the Russians, so they are doing everything possible to stop the Russian advance. From the long-term slow progress of the Russians in the Seversk direction, it seems that the Ukrainian forces have actually achieved their goal.
