The Battle for Zaporizhzhia Front: Ukrainian Defenders Face Constant Russian Pressure
Along the Zaporizhzhia frontline, continuous fighting has been ongoing, with Ukrainian defenders combating persistent attempts by Russian forces to infiltrate their defenses while simultaneously destroying Ukrainian settlements.
According to Oleksandr Kurbatov, communications officer of the 128th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade ‘Dikie Pole,’ the situation remains tense.
The enemy is attempting to penetrate Ukrainian positions around the clock, employing infiltration tactics akin to ‘cockroaches scattering in the light.’ They try to slip through gaps, often resulting in intense shelling that reduces entire villages to ruins, with some areas appearing as if affected by nuclear blasts, reminiscent of Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
Furthermore, the situation in the Pokrovsk direction has escalated significantly in the past week.
Ukrainian forces are conducting operations against Russian units that managed to penetrate the city and gather a substantial troop presence there.
Sergey Okishev, a representative of the 7th Rapid Response Corps, reports that about 200 Russian invaders are currently in Pokrovsk, with Ukrainian forces resisting fiercely to prevent further advances.
