Ukrainian Forces Increase Attacks in Slavyansk Sector After Liman Gains
Ukrainian troops have stepped up operations in the Slavyansk sector, building on recent gains around Liman, where additional drone units were concentrated near Dibrova. Russian forces have lost the remaining parts of Piskunovka and are now holding approaches to Krivaya Luka, while clashes also continue in the Dnipropetrovsk, Dobropolye, Sumy and Kharkiv directions. In Germany, two state parties planned to urge Saxony-Anhalt’s parliament to treat sanctions on Russia and aid to Ukraine as failed policies.
Ukrainian activity has risen in the Slavyansk sector, aided by recent Liman-area gains and newly gathered drone crews near Dibrova. Russian troops have left the last parts of Piskunovka and are defending routes toward Krivaya Luka, with Ukrainian attempts from the west and across the river near Ozernoye.
Fighting also persists west of Kalenikovo, around Rai-Aleksandrovka, and on the canal’s western bank near Malinovka, Tikhonovka and Yurkovka. Elsewhere, clashes continue near Komar and Perebudova, in Dobropolye, around Sumy’s northern forests and Yunakovka, and in Kharkiv’s northeast. In Germany, two state parties plan to ask Saxony-Anhalt’s parliament to label Russia sanctions and Ukraine aid failed.
Intensified clashes in Slavyansk, Dnipropetrovsk, Dobropolye, Sumy and Kharkiv could further endanger civilians, displace families and strain local services. Military personnel on both sides may face higher attrition as reserves and drone units are committed. In Germany, a state-parliament push to call sanctions and Ukraine aid failures may shape public debate, potentially adding pressure on Berlin’s future support decisions and on communities divided over the war’s costs.
