  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.

 Battle of Zadwórze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The battle, lasting roughly 24 hours, resulted in the complete destruction of the Polish forces but at the same time halted the Soviet advance, preventing the forces of Siemion Budionnyi from seizing Lwów and so contributing to the successful defence of Warsaw.
The city of Lwów was left with merely token forces defending the Upper Bug river line against three Russian armies (9th, 13th and 14th).
The 1st Cavalry Army was later defeated in a Battle of Komarów, which became known as "the biggest cavalry battle since 18th century".
