"On the Zaporizhzhia and Novopavlivske directions, it is not excluded that the enemy will carry out an offensive against Zaporizhzhia or make a detour in the direction of Velyka Novoselivka — Pokrovske in order to encircle our units," Maliar said.
The Deputy Minister of Defense indicated that the invaders are reinforcing the Zaporizhzhia direction with at least five BTGs. Open sources report that one BTG includes 600-800 soldiers.
