What is known about the situation in the area of Chasiv Yar
British intelligence notes that, most likely, the Russian occupiers also captured Ivanivske to the southeast of Chasovoy Yar.
Currently, fighting is already taking place on the territory of the city, but the Ukrainian military is fiercely resisting the units of the criminal army of the Russian Federation.
British intelligence analysts emphasise that the Russian invaders are probably still on the eastern side of the canal, which runs through the city and prevents their further advance.
The Russian occupiers used infantry groups for the offensive and noted numerous losses.
In addition, there are reports of artillery strikes on the city using thermobaric ammunition.
Chasiv Yar is likely to be of value to Russia due to its strategic position on the plateau, as well as its historical use as a logistics hub for the Armed Forces, the British Ministry of Defence explains.
A map of the DeepState analytical project updated on June 11 showed that Russian troops had captured the village of Ivanivske.
