Ukrainian Armed Forces: Russians move assault groups to Robotyno

Russian occupants are deploying assault groups to Robotyne, Zaporizhzhia region. The enemy is also conducting reconnaissance and search operations in this area.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Vladyslav Voloshyn, a spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces, during a telethon.

“Counter-battery fighting is currently underway here, while there are no massive enemy assaults. But we predict that they are likely to begin in the near future, as the enemy is already moving its assault groups to the front lines, conducting training with personnel, reconnaissance, and so-called reconnaissance and search operations,” Voloshyn said.

According to him, the Russians are striking in this area with artillery, army and attack aircraft, unguided aerial missiles, and drones.

The enemy has been successful near Vuhledar and is now trying to regroup its forces and means, prepare for further assault operations and continue them on the so-called Robotynsky ledge.

Answering the question whether the so-called “bonsai assaults” (attempts to break through to get a foothold) are being recorded in the area of responsibility, Voloshyn noted that there are no such cases in their direction.

According to him, there were no active hostilities on the Kherson and Prydniprovia directions for about ten days. However, in two days, the Russians conducted 6-7 assaults there and continue to conduct assault operations.

At the same time, the spokesman noted that no large offensive groups were preparing in the southern part of Ukraine.

“Currently, no preparations of offensive large groups have been detected in our direction. But the enemy is preparing to conduct assault operations with small groups of infantry. As for the heavy armored vehicles, the enemy has them, but no redeployment in this direction has been recorded so far,” he said.
