Regarding Ternuvate, this settlement is located about fifteen kilometers from the line of combat engagement. Indeed, a few days ago, taking advantage of difficult weather conditions, an enemy sabotage group infiltrated this settlement, they made video confirmations from drones, unfurled flags at several points in this settlement, and took photos. But within an hour, the Ukrainian Defense Forces conducted reconnaissance and search operations, cleared this settlement, and destroyed part of the group, and captured part of the group
The spokesperson emphasized that the settlement of Ternuvate is under the control of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, and "the front line is still quite far away.
According to Voloshyn, near the settlement of Richne, which is in the Orikhiv direction, the occupiers are trying to enter Prymorske and bring reinforcement groups there.
But Richne is quite deep in our defense. The enemy, I don't think he can even infiltrate there. All these videos are all his (Russians' - ed.) Hollywood
He emphasized that Russian infiltration groups are trying to enter Stepnohirsk along the bottom of the Kakhovka reservoir, but they are being destroyed there.
There is a very complex terrain, and using it through various valleys and ravines, the enemy is trying to reach there... to infiltrate deep into our defense. But Richne is under our control. As for Zlahoda. The information that Zlahoda is occupied is completely false, because we have positions in this settlement. There is communication with the soldiers defending this settlement, and logistics are established. This settlement is under the control of the Ukrainian Defense Forces
At the same time, he emphasized that daily battles are taking place for Zlahoda, where one, two, or even three combat engagements are recorded every day.
Within a week and a half, the enemy lost up to a hundred personnel there, trying to capture and take control of this settlement, but Zlahoda remains under the control of the Ukrainian Defense Forces today, and we spoke with the soldiers today... they are holding the defense
Recall
Since the beginning of the day, 66 combat engagements have taken place at the front. In the Pokrovsk direction, the Defense Forces are holding back the pressure and have already repelled 23 attacks.
