Ukrainian troops wedged into the defense of Russian aggressors in the Tavria direction at a sufficient distance that they were forced to start regrouping their troops. The speaker of the joint press center of the Tavria Defense Forces Valerii Shershen stated this on the air of the telethon.
According to him, in the actions of the enemy now "there is some chaos."
"During the day, our strike units continue to get entrenched at the reached borders, conduct demining, aerial reconnaissance of the area, inflict fire damage and carry out counter-battery warfare measures, in readiness to continue offensive actions," Shershen said.
He noted that in the area of responsibility of the Tavria group, the enemy continues to focus on conducting offensive actions in the Avdiivka and Mariinka directions, conducts active defense in the Melitopol and Berdiansk directions, focusing enormous efforts on preventing the advance of Ukrainian forces.
