In August, Ukrainian battlefield monitoring group DeepState assessed that Russian forces were attempting to create conditions for further offensive operations toward the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.

The group said Russia was systematically striking the two cities and surrounding areas with guided aerial bombs, multiple-launch rocket systems, Shahed-type drones and FPV drones, while also targeting Ukrainian logistics.
