The occupiers are cut off from the main forces.
A Ukrainian drone strike on a dam in Russia's Belgorod region caused widespread flooding and seriously complicated the logistics of Russian troops near the Ukrainian town of Volchansk. Some Russian army units were cut off from the main forces after water from the Belgorod reservoir flooded their trenches, writes The Telegraph.
"The main thing is that the enemy's logistics have become much more complicated. The units that have forced the Seversky Donets are actually cut off from their rear areas. We expect to replenish the prisoner of war fund," said a representative of the 16th Army Corps of the AFU.
Before the strike, Russian troops were actively reinforcing their positions near Volchansk, taking advantage of the fact that the warm weather had dried up the rivers and made it easier to move equipment. Now the water level in the Seversky Donets has risen sharply, turning the front line into a sinkhole.
The incident took place against the backdrop of escalating fighting in eastern Ukraine. In recent days, Russian forces have entered parts of the town of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, but the Ukrainian command has denied Moscow's claims of a "complete encirclement" of the town.
