So far the Soviets have been stopped - at least on their own. But it was impossible to hide that the situation on the front is getting serious.

On 4th July the Soviet Front Western started at dawn, which in its composition was about 270 thousand soldiers.

August 10 the front line was at the height of Przasnysz, Wyszkow, Siedlce. On that day Tuchaczewski issued a directive to take control of Warsaw. He wanted to cross the Vistula north of the city, cut off supplies from Gdansk, and then hit Warsaw from the north and west.
