Battle of Wolodarka (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | At the same time the headquarters of the Red Army ordered the battle-proven 1st Cavalry Army under Siemion Budionnyi to be relocated to Ukraine and start an offensive and outflank the overstretched Polish forces and the small Ukrainian contingent of the Ukrainian People's Republic under Semen Petlura. |
 | | The Bolshevik advance finally started on May 26, 1920, with the forces of Red 12th Army and the Corps of Komdiv Iona Yakir crossing the Dnieper and attacking exactly in the weakest part of Polish defences. |
 | | In addition, the defences were weakened by relocation of a large part of Polish troops to northern Polesie, where Pi&322;sudski was preparing defences against the possible Russian attack. |
