Slovyansk direction

• Ukrainian forces repelled a Russian attack towards Dolyna from the direction of Pasika.
  
• The enemy tried to advance in the vicinity of Staryi Karavan. The attack was repelled by the defenders. This is especially interesting report, as we previously didn’t know about Ukrainian presence on the left bank of Siverskyi Donets river. I marked both Staryi Karavan and Brusivka as unknown control until we learn more.
