This was announced on June 5 by the head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin in the Izvestia studio at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

"The liberation of Slavyansk-Kramatorsk and Kramatorsk-Druzhkovskaya agglomerations <...> will be a difficult task. It has already begun to be implemented," Pushilin said.

According to him, fighting is currently underway in Konstantinovka, reconnaissance groups have reached Druzhkovka and Alekseevo-Druzhkovka. The advance is hindered by the enemy's ability to transfer reserves, as well as the height near the village of Rai-Alexandrovka, after the liberation of which the way to Kramatorsk and Slavyansk will open. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are clinging to the city of Krasny Liman.

In the Dobropolsky direction, Russian units are also advancing, but more slowly due to enemy defenses at Beletsky. After the liberation of Tatyanovka and Prishib, there have been successes in the Svyatogorsk area.

The head of the DPR added that it is difficult to talk about the timing of the complete liberation of the territories due to the constantly changing situation.
