Russian occupiers have intensified their attacks in the Oleksandrivskyi direction, but they still do not reach the level of activity that was observed a month ago. According to Denis Bobkov, the head of communications for the 37th separate marine brigade, the enemy uses small assault groups to break through between Ukrainian positions, but the Vovcha River complicates their efforts.



'The enemy moves, in principle, in the same way, with 2-3 servicemen. Specifically, in our area of responsibility, the Vovcha River, which flows through both Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, significantly hinders them. It's a small river, but a big obstacle for the Russians,' Bobkov explained.


Occupiers also use drones, for example, UAVs of the 'Molniya' type for FPV drones, and set ambushes on roads using loitering munitions.


Despite attempts to increase pressure on Ukrainian positions, Russian occupiers face difficulties in advancing due to the natural barrier represented by the Vovcha River.



Comments from military leadership and descriptions of the equipment used by the occupiers give the news a realistic tone, emphasizing the importance of natural obstacles in the war zone. It is noted that despite all attempts to escalate attacks, the Vovcha River remains a significant barrier for Russian military forces.
