Positional fighting continues near Robotyne in Zaporizhzhia region. At the same time, the Russians are trying to gain a foothold in small groups as close to Ukrainian positions as possible. This was reported by the head of the public relations service of the 118th separate mechanized brigade, Senior Lieutenant Dmytro Pelykh, during a telethon, UNN reports.

"I can only talk about the area of responsibility of the 118th separate mechanized brigade in the area of combat missions near the village of Robotyn. Positional battles are ongoing here, mostly aimed at destroying manpower. The occupants are very concerned about our UAVs, in particular, and the calculations. As soon as they detect our positions, they immediately "iron" the positions where the crews of these UAVs are concentrated for several hours," said Pelykh.
He noted that the Russians are simultaneously trying to gain a foothold in small groups as close to Ukrainian positions as possible, but they are doing so with such small forces that the Defense Forces are destroying them without even resorting to artillery fire.
"It seems that the occupiers have other tasks in this area, including the evacuation of their '200', whom they have not taken here for more than a year and a half. Obviously, the mass of appeals or complaints from relatives has already exceeded any norms, and the Russian command can no longer ignore this mass of appeals," Pelikh said.
