Situation on the Slavyansk and Kramatorsk directions, Donetsk Oblast:Over the last 10 days, Russia has continued high-intensity assault operations in the Slavyansk direction, making significant progress as Ukrainian forces struggle to defend the key tactical ridgeline running north-to-south along this sector.
In the north, Russian forces improved their positions in the forests west of Krivaya Luka and are carrying out deep infiltrations under the cover of the forests to the village of Starodubovka and nearby areas. They also managed to clear the large salient of strongpoints to the south, forcing the Ukrainians to withdraw west towards Nikolaevka.
To the southwest, the Russians improved their positions in the large forest north of Ray-Alexandrovka and the treelines on the tactical heights to the south. From here there are carrying out deep infiltrations in coordination with movements down the road from Ray-Alexandrovka, entering the eastern outskirts of the city of Nikolaevka.
