[Korrespondent] Ukrainian units are purposefully regrouping: they allow the enemy to advance to certain positions, after which they inflict fire damage.
In the Zaporizhzhya direction, the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue a maneuverable defensive operation in the area of the settlement of Kamyanskoye. The situation in this area remains dynamic. This was reported by the representative of the operational command South Vladislav Voloshin on television.
"The defensive operation of the Ukrainian Defense Forces is currently ongoing in Kamyanske, and it is rather premature to say that any results have already been achieved, because the situation is changing quite dynamically. Just a few days ago, the publication (Institute for the Study of War - ed.) reported that we had lost some positions, lost a settlement, but I want to declare that we are conducting a defensive operation and conducting a maneuverable defense," Voloshin noted.
According to him, Ukrainian units are purposefully regrouping: they allow the enemy to advance to certain positions, after which they inflict fire damage.
"There (Kamyanskoye - ed.) the enemy actually destroyed all the shelters, fortifications, and there was nowhere to hold them, and in order to reduce losses, we had to retreat to the flanks, deep into the defense. But we are keeping this settlement under fire control, and the enemy is currently using the so-called "infiltration" tactic - these are not assaults by small groups of infantry, but simply attempts to enter there one or two people at a time and gain a foothold, hold on. We are destroying those who enter this settlement, using all available weapons - in particular, our UAV operators are working quite productively," Voloshin said.
Let us recall that 75 combat clashes have occurred on the front since the beginning of the day. More than half of the Russian attacks are aimed at Pokrovsk, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.
