The Russian occupiers are not abandoning their attempts to carry out offensive operations in the eastern regions of the Zaporozhye region.
The invaders of the Russian Federation are unsuccessfully trying to break through the Ukrainian defenses, but they are suffering losses in both manpower and equipment. They are conducting active military operations in the direction of Hulyaipol and the settlements of the region on the border with the Donetsk region.
This is reported by the Defense Forces of the Zaporozhye Territory.
It is noted that the Ukrainian defenders are conducting an active mobile defense, in some places inflicting counterattacks. “On the remaining occupied borders of the temporarily occupied territories of the region, the enemy continues to strengthen and increase the concentration of its units in certain areas,” the report says.
The invaders fired at settlements using a Su-34 aircraft, a tank, a Grad multiple launch rocket system, cannon artillery, 120 mm mortars and heavy machine guns. The Russians shelled the settlements: Orekhov, Novoandreevka, Vremevka, Temerovka, Pavlovka, Volshebnoe, Krasnoe, Malaya Tokmachka, Novodanilovka, Olgovskoe, Gulyaipolskoe, Novoselovka, Zheleznodorozhnoe, Novonikolaevka, Uspenovka, Kamenskoe.
Ukrainian defenders destroyed 12 people of the personnel of the Russian Federation. Seven invaders were wounded. In addition, eight tanks, three armored combat vehicles, two Orlan-10 UAVs and two vehicles were destroyed.
As reported, the US Department of Defense believes that the city of Mariupol cannot be considered occupied, since Russian troops continue to shell it. Part of the Russian troops retreated from the blocked Mariupol and is moving in a north-western direction – to the Zaporozhye region.
