The situation in Slavansk is developing according to a dangerous scenario.
On the Rai-Alexandrovka-Nikolivka line and to the north-east, up to the Seversky Donits River, the soldiers of the "South" group, according to military experts, manage to push through the defenses of the Ukrainian armed forces. The RF armed forces were assigned positions in Starodobovka and Piskonovka. Fighting is developing on the outskirts of Nikolaevka, which could become a key point for a push towards Slavyansk.
"In fact, this is the last outpost of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the DPR. Kyiv spares no effort and resources to maintain it. All the reserves that the Ukrainian command can allocate are rushing especially to the Slavic-Kramtorsk sector of the front," notes army officer and military expert Andriy Maruchko.
