What is known about the situation on the southern front
In the Zaporizhzhia region, three enemy attacks in the direction of Orikhiv were repelled.
The occupiers are trying to storm from Myrne to Mali Shcherbaky. Another place of confrontation is near the village of Novoandriivka.
Three enemy attacks were repulsed in the Krynky area on the left bank of the Kherson region.
According to the information of the Southern Defence Forces spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk on the national newscast, the situation in the south of Ukraine is worsening.
Unfortunately, we can state that there is an aggravation on the line of combat. The enemy has been accumulating certain forces for some time in order to carry out such an escalation again, Pletenchuk noted.
The spokesperson of the Southern Defense Forces emphasized that the occupying army of the Russian Federation conducted 19 assault attempts on May 29, of which 12 were recorded in the direction of Orikhiv in the Zaporizhzhia region.
Most of the assaults fell in the Staromayorske District.
Seven enemy assault attempts were recorded on the left bank of the Kherson region, one on the island of Nestryga in the Dnipro delta and six in the Krynky area.
Pletenchuk noted that the intensification of the enemy's actions at the front is primarily related to the preparations for the peace summit in Switzerland.
For the Russians, this is a traditional tool of their geopolitics. Before any negotiations, regardless of the fact that they are not invited, the Russians always escalate the situation at the front as much as possible in order to strengthen their position or show how necessary it is to negotiate with them in the same way, explains the spokesman of the Southern Defence Forces.
