The enemy uses his tactics and tries to move closer to our defense line so that, in addition to missiles and aircraft, which they systematically use in the Donetsk region, they can use cannon artillery to shell the city.

The Russians do not change their tactics, we saw what happened in our native Mariupol and Severodonetsk, so we are preparing for any scenario with Slavyansk,"
