The Russian army is retreating.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces have achieved a significant success in the Slavyansk area. The 3rd Army Corps has managed to stabilize the front line by pushing back the Russian Federation’s army.

This is reported by the authoritative OSINT expert Klement Molin.

Russian Z-channels confirm: the Ukrainian army is successfully advancing in the Slavyansk area.

- After several months of Russian offensive operations against Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, the Ukrainian army has deployed reinforcements and begun to stabilize the front. For at least two months now, mop-up operations have been ongoing east of Slavyansk against Russian groups that infiltrated the rear of Ukrainian forces. Most Russian Telegram channels have been discussing this situation for several weeks. It is also confirmed by numerous video recordings. This is further evidence that the Ukrainian offensive in the Liman area first allowed the front line to be stabilized and then pushed back over a wide stretch, Molin wrote.

He clarified that, at this time, the initiative on this section of the front has passed to the Third Army Corps commanded by Andriy Biletsky.
