Threat to Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration persists despite success of Vivaldi operation – DeepState

Roman Pohorilyi, co-founder of the DeepState project, said this in an interview with Ukrainian Radio , Ukrinform reports. According to him, the Vivaldi operation enabled Ukrainian forces to cut off the Russian salient north of Lyman, where Russian troops had been attempting to bring in reinforcements in the Shandryholove area and advance through forests near Yampil and Zarichne. The situation was stabilized with the involvement of the Third Army Corps. “Undoubtedly, the Vivaldi operation was successful at the tactical level. When the enemy’s resources were depleted, the Defense Forces seized the opportunity and their tactical advantage, pushed the enemy back, and carried out a very successful and effective operation,” Pohorilyi said.
