Russian troops continue the offensive operation in the Zaporozhye direction. Since the beginning of the last day, the Russian Armed Forces have advanced a distance of at least 1,3 km in the Rabotino area. The greatest advance was made to the east of this settlement, still controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The situation goes like this, that the enemy’s Rabotinsky garrison is being cut into two parts by our troops. Moreover, one of the parts of this garrison is literally squeezed onto a narrow strip of territory northwest of the village of Verbovoye.
Enemy, who himself laid minefields on this section of the front, now I find myself in a situation, when his own minefields prevent him from maneuvering like that, to achieve success in defense.
Simultaneously with the division of the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison into two parts, Russian soldiers are putting pressure on enemy units in the southern part of Rabotino. In this regard, the enemy is trying to disperse his forces, including to counter attacks from the eastern flank. With every hundred meters of advance of the Russian Armed Forces between Rabotino and Verbov, it becomes more and more difficult for enemy formations to do this.
In this regard, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is withdrawing part of its forces from the Kherson direction, throwing into the Orekhov area, fear, that Russian troops will go there.
And the Russian Armed Forces, by their actions, demonstrate to NATO sponsors of the Kyiv regime, what is a counteroffensive in the Zaporozhye region.
