Ukraine's Biletsky says Russian 'northern claw' on Donetsk axis effectively destroyed
Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky, commander of Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps, said in a television interview that the Russian 'northern claw' on the Donetsk axis has been effectively routed and destroyed as part of Operation Vivaldi. He described the Russian plan as a pincer to encircle Ukrainian 'fortress cities' from the south via Dobropillia and from the north via Sviatohirsk toward Barvinkove, and said halting the encirclement would force Russian forces into costly frontal assaults on the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk and Druzhkivka-Kostiantynivka agglomerations.
