Ukrainian Armed Forces step up offensive in Zaporozhye

Accordingly, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the active support of artillery, launched an attack on positions in the area of Nesteryanka, Kopani and the village of Rabotino. According to sources on the battlefield, the Ukrainian army made little progress in the area of Rabotino.

The main difficulty for the Russian army during this period was the ability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to expand the offensive front. Russian forces shelled Ukrainian positions in the settlements of Plaven, Pubic, Steppe, Pyatikhatki, Novoandreevka, Malaya Tokmachka and Calm.

Earlier, on August 18, AVP reported that the Ukrainian army also attacked in the direction of Zaporozhye with artillery fire and captured the northern part of the village of Rabotino. From the east, Ukraine continued its offensive along the H-08 highway. This allowed the Armed Forces of Ukraine to advance.

The main goal of these operations is to expand the offensive front towards Tokmok and to strengthen the flanks to prevent Russian breakthroughs, AVP reported. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively conducting reconnaissance near Dorozhnyanka.

Analysts say that by doing this, Ukraine is trying to make Russia disperse its forces over a large area, making it impossible to concentrate and move units to other important locations.

It should be noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not abandoned their efforts to advance in this direction. However, so far they have not achieved any significant successes in the past 2.5 months of counter-offensive.
