The Russian Army continues to actively increase its efforts in the Zaporozhye direction. It has significantly increased the number of artillery fire, and also does not stop inflicting powerful airstrikes.

Points of attention

  • Civilians in Zaporozhye suffered casualties and damage due to the Russian attack, with a four-month-old baby and young children among the injured.
  • The State Emergency Service of Ukraine confirmed the completion of emergency operations in Zaporizhzhia following the airstrike, which resulted in the tragic loss of 10 lives.
  • Efforts are underway to eliminate the consequences of the enemy shelling, with 32 rescuers and 8 units of equipment deployed for the task.

What is happening in the Zaporizhzhia region

Kostiantyn Denisov, the speaker of the Legion of Freedom, made a statement on this matter.

According to him, the Russian invaders are actively trying to carry out assaults.

Their infantry assault groups want to feel for weak points in our defense, and also under the cover of armored vehicles, enemy tanks are constantly practicing, firing at the same armored personnel carriers, — says the spokesman.

Kostyantyn Denisov voiced a forecast that such a development was predictable.

As it is known, the day before the Russian invaders actively carried out combat coordination of their amphibious assault units.

The Defense Forces of Ukraine saw how the enemy trained its infantry, as well as interaction with armored vehicles.

We all perfectly understood what they were doing all this for, so we already see that they are gradually starting to attack such consolidated groups, — stressed Kostiantyn Denisov.
