The Defense Forces of Ukraine are conducting a stabilization operation in the area of the village of Levadne in the Zaporizhzhia region.
This was reported by the spokesperson of the Southern Defense Forces, Vladislav Voloshin, during a telethon.
According to him, the goal of this operation is to prevent the enemy from advancing towards Velyka Novosilka.
“A few days ago, the enemy, using constant assault actions, had partial success and managed to infiltrate a small distance into the depth of a platoon stronghold near the village of Levadne. Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are conducting a stabilization operation, taking measures to normalize the situation,” Voloshin explained.
He added that the primary task of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this area is to mitigate additional pressure from the Russians on the defense of southern Donetsk region.
“This is the route to Velyka Novosilka – an important junction in the southern Donetsk region and essentially the border with Dnipropetrovsk region. Therefore, the Defense Forces in this direction are not allowing the enemy to advance,” the spokesperson concluded.
Recall that at the beginning of the month, the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the enemy is preparing new assaults in the Orekhov and Robotyne directions.
Earlier, the regional military administration reported on the construction of the second and third lines of defense in the Zaporizhzhia region.
