The Ukrainian military is expecting a major Russian attack in the direction of Zaporizhzhia soon. According to an expert, the situation in the region is difficult for Ukraine.
According to the Ukrainian military leadership, Russian troops are preparing for an imminent attack in the direction of the large city of Zaporizhzhia. The aim of this advance was, among other things, to cut off the supply lines in the eastern defense areas around the Donbass, the military representative responsible for the region, Vladislav Voloshin, speculated on television.
“The fact that the so-called counter-battery war as well as the shelling of our positions and the attacks on our lines continue shows that the situation there is very difficult,” he said. Counter-battery warfare refers to artillery bombardment of identified enemy artillery positions. There are also heavy air and rocket attacks on this section of the front south of Zaporizhzhia. “The situation there is quite turbulent.”
Russian units have recently conquered additional villages and settlements around Donbass in eastern Ukraine. Moscow has annexed the occupied territories in Ukraine in violation of international law and integrated them into Russia’s territory, but does not fully control these regions within the administrative borders.
In the Zaporizhzhia region, Russian troops have occupied the south of the area with the nuclear power plant of the same name, but not the city itself.
