According to him, the enemy has become more active near Stepnohirsk, as well as in the areas of the settlements of Shcherbaki and Maly Shcherbaki.
Here he seeks to break through in a northern direction, take control of certain bridgeheads closer to Zaporizhia, in order to keep our logistics under fire control, and strike at the regional center when necessary.
Last week, Russian forces significantly intensified combat operations in the southern direction, carrying out almost 200 assaults and significantly increasing the use of kamikaze drones and FPV.
