Khortytsia operational-strategic group of troops declares that russians have not yet reached administrative border of Dnipropetrovsk Region
As of today, June 9, the russian occupation forces have not reached the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk Region.
The spokesman for the Khortytsia operational-strategic group of troops Viktor Tregubov reported this on the air of Suspilne.
Thus, Trehubov reported that the video where the russians supposedly install the russian flag on the border of the Dnipropetrovsk Region is a russian IPSO.
"There are no Russians now on the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk Region. There are no russians even on the border of the Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk Regions now, although they are trying very actively... they have conducted several IPSOs, have already shot videos where they supposedly install the flag somewhere on the border," he said.
The spokesman for the Khortytsia operational-strategic group of troops also said that the occupiers are trying to "push through" the Ukrainian defense in the direction of the administrative border of the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk Regions, and in the east - towards the Pokrovsk-Kostiantynivka highway to create a bridgehead for advancing to Kostiantynivka.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the occupiers are located 2,020 meters from the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk Region.
At the end of May, the occupiers announced an alleged entry into the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk Region. The russians published a photo in which several soldiers are holding the flag of the russian army allegedly on the border of the region.
As it became known after some time, a group of russian soldiers was indeed on the administrative border. They took a propaganda photo, but when trying to retreat to their positions, they were killed by fire from Ukrainian soldiers.
