The Russians are trying to cut off the ledge near Robotyne. If in the previous days and weeks, there were sometimes no assaults there at all per day, 1-3, maximum 5, then yesterday [March 6], 16 enemy attacks were recorded there west of the village of Verbove and in the vicinity of the town of Robotyne.

Lykhovii noted that the Russian occupiers were developing activities similar to the ones they had already tried in mid-February, which were stopped.

Now he is making some new offensive attempts there. And the more the enemy advances, the more we destroy his personnel and machinery, — said Lykhovii.
