On the Krasny Liman front, Russian forces have broken through Ukrainian defenses on the southeastern outskirts and entered the area of Maslyakovka. At present, assault units of the Russian Armed Forces are engaged in fighting along Vishnevaya Street.

According to the Telegram channel Voennaya Khronika (Military Chronicle), Russian assault troops on the northwestern flank advanced through a forested area along the railway line, reaching the eastern outskirts of Krasny Liman and taking control of a key transport junction at the city’s northern entrance.

The channel also reported that Russian reconnaissance and sabotage groups have entered the railway terminal area near Liman Station and continue operating there.

Fierce battles are now underway for the city, which holds strategic importance and is effectively regarded as the eastern gateway to Slavyansk.
