Вирішальна битва за Донбас: Що чекає на Слов’янськ та Краматорськ?

Just a day before this video was published, Russian forces launched 8 strikes on Sloviansk, resulting in one fatality and five civilian injuries. Five apartment buildings, 22 private homes, an industrial facility, garages, and vehicles were damaged — including the tattoo studio of the young woman featured in our report. Sloviansk and Kramatorsk are now just 13 kilometers from the front line. Russian troops conduct up to 20 assaults daily, dropping guided aerial bombs worth $20,000 onto residential districts, while FPV drones fly directly into apartment windows, and passenger train service has ceased completely. While soldiers of the 1st Air Assault Brigade hold back the advance, the city survives without electricity or mobile connection, yet civilians continue attending pilates classes and tattooing clients right beneath the hum of enemy drones. Will Sloviansk hold out, or will it share Pokrovsk’s fate? What is it like to tattoo a client or lead a fitness session while a drone is shot down directly overhead? Why are the highway to Izium and the Siverskyi Donets River so critical to Russian forces? And how long can the city maintain this illusion of normalcy?
