🔻How did the operation progress?

▪️In October, Russian troops continued to tighten the grip around Siversk. On the northern flank, battles were concentrated along the Siversky Donets riverbed, while in the south, assault units pushed the enemy back near Zvanivka.

▪️By October 4, units of the 85th Motorized Rifle Brigade freed Fedorivka and raised state flags over the village. Two days later, adjacent units cleared Kuzmynivka, expanding the control zone near the approaches to Zvanivka.

▪️Simultaneously, fighters of the 123rd Mechanized Rifle Brigade drove the AFU out of an important defensive node in Vyemka. This allowed them to subsequently clear a large "pocket" between the village and neighboring Pereizne, and then directly approach Siversk.

▪️Somewhat later, assault units of the 88th Mechanized Rifle Brigade entered Zvanivka, engaging in battles for the village that continued until the second half of November.

▪️On the northern flank, Russian troops freed Rudnyk and Dronivka by October 25, creating another stable bridgehead on the left bank of the Siversky Donets. Then came a breakthrough to Platonivka.

▪️All this time, preparations were underway for battles for Siversk itself. By mid-November, assault units had not only advanced almost to the center but also began setting up ambushes on the city's outskirts.
