Quote: "The occupiers deployed 16 motorcycles, operating in several groups of three to four vehicles. In this way, the enemy hoped to break through the positions of the paratroopers and adjacent units.

Thanks to timely detection and coordinated actions, the assault was repelled and the infantry who chose to dismount were wiped out by Ukrainian forces."

Details: The brigade notes that the situation on the Sloviansk front remains challenging: Russian forces are constantly deploying assets and personnel in an attempt to seize more advantageous positions. They are also attempting to control logistics routes through remote mining and UAVs.

Despite this, units from the 81st Brigade, working together with adjacent forces, continue to detect and wipe out Russian troops.

Background: Over the last 24 hours, 171 combat engagements have taken place on the front lines in Ukraine.

On the Sloviansk front, the Ukrainians stopped six Russian attempts to advance near the settlements of Zakitne and Rizhnykivka and towards Rai-Oleksandrivka, Platonivka and Kalenyky.
