Russian forces are reportedly deploying FPV drone launch points into the grey zone along the South Slobozhanske direction, and a checkerboard pattern is forming along the line of contact due to flanking Ukrainian positions, according to Bohdan Petrenko, head of the communications department of the 48th Separate Artillery Brigade, speaking on Suspilne Studio on September 22.

Petrenko stated that the situation on this front segment involves Russian forces bypassing Ukrainian positions.
