The arrival of approximately 1,500 enemy servicemen has been recorded; they are planned to be used to intensify assault operations.

This was reported on December 17 by the 11th Army Corps.

“The situation in the Sloviansk sector remains difficult but is under the control of the Defense Forces.

Units of the 54th Mechanized Brigade, the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade, and the 81st Airmobile Brigade are conducting defensive operations in the areas of the settlements of Serebrianka, Dronivka, Sviato-Pokrovske, Zvanivka, Pazeno, Siversk, and Pereizne.

Due to significant losses, political motivation, and the inability to implement declared plans, the enemy was forced to involve additional reserves.

In particular, the arrival of about 1,500 servicemen has been recorded; they are planned to be used to intensify assault operations.

The main task of our units remains the timely detection and destruction of the enemy, despite the worsening weather conditions”, — the corps said in its statement.
