In the Slavyansk direction of Donetsk region, enemy forces are trying to adapt to conducting combat operations using mobile vehicles for stealth movement and logistics. The situation on this section of the front remains tense.
However, the Ukrainian military is holding its defense and effectively repelling Russian attacks. Details were provided by the 81st Separate Airmobile Slobozhansk Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Ukrainian SSR.
How are Ukrainian paratroopers confronting the enemy in the Slavic direction?
The unit reports that the enemy is changing tactics, trying to move covertly and provide logistics using mobile transport, including pickup trucks and motorcycles.
Despite this, the Ukrainian military continues to systematically destroy the equipment and soldiers of the aggressor country. According to them, FPV drone operators effectively attack enemy armored vehicles, cars, and motorcycles.

At the same time, the occupiers are trying to camouflage equipment near the front line, hiding it in shelters, in particular among ruins or in hangars. The brigade emphasizes that the regular destruction of the enemy army's resources and manpower significantly weakens its offensive capabilities.

By the way, in the spring-summer campaign, Russian troops are paying significant attention to the direction of Sloviansk, but the pace of their advance is gradually slowing down. Despite this, some tactical shifts are still being recorded. In particular, last week, the enemy was able to gain a foothold near Riznykovka, expanding its presence in the so-called “gray zone”, which also covers Kaleniki, Zakytne and adjacent territories.

At the same time, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed that the voluntary abandonment of the territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions by Ukrainian troops would be a serious strategic defeat. According to him, such a step would lead to the demoralization of the army and the loss of important defensive lines and fortifications.
