📝The Long Road to Slavyansk📝
On the Slavyansk direction, fighting continues on the approaches to Rai-Aleksandrivka, where Russian units attempt to advance toward the village from two directions. Russian units attack from the Kaleniki side, advancing both toward Rai-Aleksandrivka and moving around it from the north toward the Dolyhy Forest.
➡️As reported earlier, this settlement holds major tactical importance for the future assault on Slavyansk, so Ukrainian formations will attempt to hold it as long as possible.
➡️To the south, after repelling enemy attacks on Lipovka, the Russian Armed Forces advanced in the Dibrova area, located near the M-03 highway. Russia's Defense Ministry announced the freeing of this settlement.
📌 Meanwhile, enemy units are mining approaches, establishing fortifications, and reinforcing strongpoints around the cities. Given the emphasis on drone-based defense, AFU command will likely focus on striking Russian supply and movement routes. So far, Russian forces are successfully disrupting enemy logistics.
The approaches to Slavyansk and Kramatorsk will be harder to take due to lower settlement density and fewer buildings with basements suitable for accumulating infiltration groups.
