Russian troops are once again pushing Ukrainian forces by attacking the Sloviansk-Izyum road. Although the situation is not critical for the city's logistics, as there are alternative routes for the delivery of material resources. Spokesman for the OSUV 'Dnipro' Oleksiy Belsky stressed that Russian troops violate international humanitarian law by attacking civilian objects, but the city is currently not under threat.
There are also reports of a complicated situation near Pokrovsk, where Russian assault groups are trying to penetrate the city through neighboring settlements. The capture of the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration remains a priority target for Russian forces, which have concentrated significant military forces along a defense line nearly 87 kilometers long with almost 100,000 soldiers.
