The Ukrainian military has preemptively mined the primary routes Russian forces could utilize to reach the city, according to the soldier.\n\nAdditionally, Ukraine's drone campaign has significantly intensified since Putin's last visit to Sochi. Now, Putin's security service has moved his flagship forum out of the Russian resort. Furthermore, the Ukrainian military has targeted the Slavyansk-EKO refinery, the largest annual processing capacity in the country, as part of a deep-strike operation.",
