Russian troops may try to advance on Slavyansk and Kramatorsk not only from the north and east, but also from the west, from a protrusion in their positions near Barvenkov.

This is reported by ISW.

The institute's analysts also note that Russian forces continued to conduct limited offensive attempts and air, artillery and missile strikes along the entire front line on July 7.

According to experts, Russian forces are rebuilding their forces and setting the stage for new significant offensives in the coming weeks, or months. Therefore, one should not expect major offensive operations from the occupants.

ISW experts also note the activity of Ukrainian partisans near Melitopol. On July 7, these partisans blew up a railway bridge between Novobohdanivka and Troitskoye, that is, between Melitopol and the front line. On July 3 partisans blew up a railway bridge near the front line in Lyubimovka, and the day before they derailed a train of ammunition near Melitopol.
