On the Sievierstak (Sieviersk) front, on the morning of August 4, the assault units of the Russian 6th, 7th, and 123rd Independent Motorized Rifle Brigades were launching an offensive around Kamenka and the fields south of Sereblyanka. Two Ukrainian brigades fought desperately, and the battle reached a fever pitch, with continuous artillery fire, as the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Russian artillery bombarded the Ukrainian defensive positions.
New developments have emerged regarding the recent large-scale offensive by Russian forces on the Sievierstak front. Ukrainian media (source: RBC Ukraine) has admitted that Ukrainian forces have lost a large area around Kamenka.
According to information obtained by field reporters from the Russian TG channel "Military Chronicle" on the front line, the actual situation in the area was even more serious - the 123rd and 6th Motorized Rifle Brigade forces had already liberated the village and advanced to the outskirts of Novoselovka as early as mid-July.
In addition, a video circulating on the internet on August 2 showed that Russian forces were clearing out Ukrainian strongholds in the suburbs of Sievierstak. Judging from the route of the assault units, the Russians had already concentrated their forces in the forested areas south of Sereblyanka and had begun to launch an attack towards the city center.
On the Sereblyanka-Kamenka front, the Russian forces strongly crossed the southern bank of the Plotka River and attacked the Ukrainian positions in the orchard area, but it is currently unclear whether they have consolidated their gains. At the same time, the advance of the Russian突击队 towards Veymka also faced a similar situation, and the results remain shrouded in the "fog of war."
It is still too early to assert that the siege of Sievierstak (Sieviersk) is about to begin. It is expected that after learning of the situation, the Ukrainian forces will send reinforcements to this theater of operations, striving to prevent the Russians from completely controlling Sereblyanka - the capture of this strategic location would give the Russians a favorable foothold for attacking Sievierstak.
