[Korrespondent] The Russian army is trying to gain a foothold in the villages of Zaporozhskoye and Novogeorgievka.
Russian troops are trying to gain a foothold in the villages of Zaporizhzhya and Novogeorgievka in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The enemy is acting in small groups, fighting and trying to get past Ukrainian strongholds using artillery and UAVs. This was reported by Viktor Tregubov, a representative of the operational-strategic group of troops Dnipro, in a commentary to Ukrinform.
"There are still battles going on there (the villages of Zaporizhzhya and Novogeorgievka - ed.), but, to put it briefly, yesterday the Russians entered in two small groups: one - eight, the second - 15 people, and tried to gain a foothold, to fight. They tried to throw them out from there, and, it seems, they were unable to gain a foothold, although they continue to try," the representative said.
Tregubov informed about the measures that are being taken to reduce the likelihood of further attacks in Novogeorgievka.
"Destruction of the Russians and attempts to saturate the line with a large number of personnel and UAVs. Our main problem is actually that the Russians have a fairly large number of personnel, they have accumulated them, and for this "summer campaign" they are simply sending them in small groups. It is necessary to understand that one mobile group has now stabilized at five people, but it may be that, for example, 170 such small groups are being prepared at one training ground. There are five of them, but there are 170 of them," he explained.
According to the representative, Russian troops may advance on Ukrainian positions, trying to identify gaps between the strongholds, and also carry out strikes with artillery and UAVs.
"In this situation, the Russians are trying with these groups not even to take these strongholds, but to pass them by, and then unite behind them. This situation was precisely in the Pokrovsk direction, and they (are trying to create - ed.) the same situation now in Novopavlovskoye, taking advantage of the fact that they have a large number of personnel," added Tregubov.
Let us recall that earlier the General Staff stated that the Russian invaders do not control the villages of Zaporizhzhya and Novogeorgievka in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
