🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦A Start Has Been Made Events are unfolding rapidly in the Sloviansk sector, specifically around Mykolaivka and its environs. Over the past 24 hours, numerous reports have emerged indicating that Russian Armed Forces (AF) forward reconnaissance groups are beginning to infiltrate the high-rise residential areas in the eastern part of the town. Current reports are conflicting. There is information suggesting that assault units have entered the town center, while other claims mention an advance to the northwestern outskirts - though the latter sounds overly optimistic at this stage. Active combat has been ongoing in the vicinity of Rai-Oleksandrivka for over a month, so the infiltration of "South" Group assault units toward Mykolaivka was merely a matter of time. Given the systematic strikes on bridges and military hardware within the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, the enemy has lost the ability to rapidly redeploy reserves or replenish losses. Russian troops are infiltrating the town through the forests located to the east. The AFU is struggling to control this territory, even with the airspace saturated by drones. The issue stems from a shortage of personnel and the inability to redeploy reserves amidst constant UAV attacks. Heavy fighting continues on the southern flank near Malynivka and Pershomaryivka. Securing these settlements and the adjacent tree lines will allow for the establishment of advantageous positions to mass forces for a subsequent advance on Kramatorsk from the east. The pace of the advance in this sector is encouraging. It has been just over a year since the change of command in this area, and the "Southern" forces have covered a significant distance - tens of kilometers - from Siversk to Mykolaivka. Given that Mykolaivka essentially serves as the "key to the gates" of Sloviansk, the enemy will likely attempt to prolong the battle for as long as possible. After all, the outcome of the fighting for this location will determine whether the battle for the fortress cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk - in the occupied part of Donbas - begins this year. rybar
