According to the spokesman for the Legion of Freedom in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Kostiantyn Denysov, the Russian occupation army in Zaporizhzhia region is focusing its offensive efforts on areas of primarily political importance to them.
What is known about the situation near Robotyne in Zaporizhzhia region
Denysov stressed that in addition to being a logistics and transit centre, Robotyne is also of political importance to the Russian occupiers.
According to him, war criminals from the Russian army are trying to regain the settlements in Zaporizhzhia region lost during the Ukrainian army's counter-offensive last year.
Now the Russians are trying to establish full fire control over the remains of this settlement, because, unfortunately, there is nothing left there except burnt walls and the name. They are trying to regain control over it and recapture the positions they lost earlier, the military stressed.
Denysov reminded that the largest number of Russian-occupied settlements were retaken by the Ukrainian military as a result of a counter-offensive in Zaporizhzhia region.
He also added that over the past 5 weeks, the dynamics of the Russian occupation army's offensive has significantly decreased.
The soldier explained that this was facilitated by the multi-level competent defence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area.
Denysov also noted that the Kremlin invaders are trying to invent something new to quickly deploy personnel to different parts of the frontline.
He stressed that everything ends with the elimination of enemy equipment and personnel by the Ukrainian military.
The soldier also noted that during attacks, the enemy uses the tactics of small infantry groups, as well as ATVs and motorcycles to transport personnel of assault units.
They have stolen the tactics of using FPV drones and various drones from us, and this shows that the enemy is learning.
Denysov also said that in the Zaporizhzhia sector, the enemy is focusing on shelling from various types of weapons.
The enemy is making progress, but it is microscopic and miserable compared to the amount of resources, especially artillery ammunition, they are "piling" on this or that area, Denisov stressed.
