The spokesperson for the 'South' Defense Forces, Vladyslav Voloshyn, dismissed rumors about the Russian military capturing territories in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. He confirmed that the situation remains tense, but no settlements have been lost.
'The information about territories captured by the enemy in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions is not true. Indeed, there is tension in the Oleksandrivsk, Huliaipole, and Orikhiv directions: over the past day, there have been nearly fifty combat clashes with the enemy. However, these settlements remain out of Russian control,' Voloshyn emphasized.
Some areas are still in a tense situation. For example, fierce battles are ongoing in Pavlivka, where the Ukrainian brigade is heroically holding the defense. Fighting is also taking place in Plavni, which are in the 'gray zone.' The settlement of Uspenivka has been subjected to enemy fire, but the struggle for its control continues.
Usually, in the context of hostilities, there appear local territories that are in the 'gray zone' and are subject to attacks from both sides. In this context, it is important to distinguish between the 'gray zone' and areas that are genuinely captured by the opponent, and to monitor the situation in these areas more closely to prevent possible consequences.
