The battle of Chasiv Yar is an ongoing battle for control of the city of Chasiv Yar between the Russian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Armed Forces.[1]
Background[edit]
Chasiv Yar has been a front-line city since the Battle of Bakhmut, acting as a Ukrainian forward artillery base to protect the then sole road into the city usable by Ukrainian military personnel. Shortly after the conclusion of the battle of Bakhmut, Russian forces made a limited push towards Chasiv Yar before the situation entered a stalemate.[2][3][4]
Following the conclusion of the battle of Avdiivka, Russian forces again launched a new offensive towards Chasiv Yar, due to its position on a hill and could be used as a staging ground for future attacks on Kramatorsk, however, this offensive too failed to break the stalemate.[4][5]
Battle[edit]
On 15 December 2023, the ISW noted that Russian sources recognized the offensives around Bakhmut as a push westwards towards Chasiv Yar.[6] On 8 February 2024, the ISW noted that Russian and Ukrainian officials reported that positional battles were occuring in the direction of Chasiv Yar.[7] On 27 February 2024, Illia Yevlash, spokesman for the Khortytsia group of forces, announced that Russia was targeting villages to the east of Chasiv Yar, such as Bohdanivka, with human wave tactics involving Storm-Z and Storm-V convict units that had lost ~60% of their armored support due to Ukrainian artillery.[8]
Yevlash announced that Russia was launching a new concerted effort to capture Chasiv Yar on 1 March, stating that prior limited raids where intelligence gathering operations to test for the city's weaknesses.[9]
