Points of attention
- The Ukrainian Armed Forces denied reports of Russian troops capturing settlements in Novopavlivske direction, emphasizing the use of 'active defense' tactics.
- 33 enemy attacks on Ukrainian positions were successfully repelled in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, showcasing the AFU's resilience and effectiveness.
- The spokesperson for the Dnipro Regional State Administrative Organization clarified that the information on Russian capture of Oleksandrograd, Ivanivka, and Zeleny Hai is false.
Russia did not capture Oleksandrograd, Ivanovka, and Zeleny Gay
This was stated by the spokesman for the Dnipro Regional State Administrative Organization, Oleksiy Belsky.
Information about the enemy taking full control of the settlements of Oleksandrograd, Ivanivka, and Zeleny Hay is not true.
The spokesman added that the Novopavlovsk direction remains the second hottest after Pokrovsk. In particular, the Russian occupiers are constantly increasing the number of assault operations there.
Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are using the tactics of "active defense" in the Novopavlivka direction, which involves not just holding positions, but also the active use of maneuver, strikes, counterattacks, and fire damage to inflict maximum losses on the enemy, as well as to disrupt his offensive.
Belsky emphasized that the use of this tactic slows down and complicates the advance of the occupiers through Ukrainian territory, and also causes the invaders maximum losses in manpower and equipment.
Yesterday, the enemy carried out 33 attacks on the positions of our troops in the Donetsk region, the administrative border and on the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region. The defense forces managed to repel the assault actions near the settlements of Filiya, Zelenyi Hai, Ivanivka, Yalta, Piddubne, Tolstoy, Komyshuvakha, Sosnivka, Maliivka, Olhivske, Poltavka, Maliivka in the direction of Novoivanivka.
