Russian troops prepare for an assault on the Zaporizhzhia direction

Russian troops are preparing to conduct assault operations on the Zaporizhzhia direction. This was reported on the national telethon by the spokesperson of the Southern Defence Forces, Vladyslav Voloshyn.

According to Voloshyn, the Russians are preparing to conduct assault operations in the area of Pryuytne. According to intelligence data, the enemy is accumulating personnel there. Also, 25 buggies were recently delivered here, which the Russians use for conducting assaults in small groups.

At the same Time, the spokesperson of the Southern Defense Forces notes that the enemy is accumulating personnel on the front positions as well. Voloshyn also emphasizes that assault operations do not mean the beginning of offensive operations, as more forces and means are needed for an offensive. The purpose of the Russians' assault operations is to improve their tactical position in the direction.

Let us remind you that earlier it became known that geolocation footage published on September 24 shows that Russian troops advanced in the eastern part of Vuhledar to Desantnykiv Street, confirming reports from both Russian and Ukrainian sources that the Russian troops managed to enter Vuhledar between September 23 and 24.

Notably, this week the 57th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Army broke through the defense of the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is defending Vuhledar in the Donetsk region.

It is also worth mentioning that the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade named after the Black Zaporozhians, which is defending Vuhledar in the Donetsk region, refuted rumors about its withdrawal from the city. The corresponding video appeared on the official page of the OMBR.
