He noted that the RF Armed Forces not only defend themselves qualitatively, but also counterattack, with minimal risks to personnel. Nobody puts people at risk, Rogov emphasized. “What cannot be said about the enemy, who throws all the new forces into the slaughter in waves,” RIA Novosti quoted a representative of the region as saying.
On his Telegram channel, Rogov also said that it is now hot in the Vasilyevsky direction of the Zaporozhye Front in the area of the Pyatikhatka and Zherebyanka settlements. According to him, there were artillery duels for several hours.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces rotated and transferred new forces from the reserve to the line of contact, Rogov wrote, adding that the enemy is preparing for assault operations.
Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the Russian Armed Forces continue to inflict effective fire damage on the enemy. Only in the South-Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Donetsk directions, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are conducting unsuccessful attacks, the Russian army destroyed 15 aircraft, 3 helicopters, 920 armored vehicles. Shoigu emphasized that, in general, the Ukrainian troops did not achieve their goals in either direction.
