Details: The Russians continue to build up pressure on the South Slobozhanshchyna front, within the defence zone of the 1st Hart Mobile Border Guard Detachment.

Having sustained heavy losses in assault operations over recent weeks, Russian forces are now shifting tactics, attempting to force a breakthrough at new points along the line.

Specifically, small infantry groups are attempting to infiltrate near the settlement of Artilne, close to Ukraine's state border, State Border Guard Service reported.

Border guards are monitoring Russian troop movements and striking their personnel and equipment – both on Ukrainian soil and deep in Russian rear areas – from the very first moment they begin advancing towards Ukraine.
