It's hell near Pervomaisk, Russian troops launch offensive: Legion of Freedom officer from Marinka direction

He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"The area is very hot. Today it's hell near Pervomaisk as the enemy has launched an offensive there. The Russians are also putting pressure near Nevelske and near Marinka, trying to expand the foothold for further offensive. Today, the Ukrainian Defense Forces repelled an offensive near Marinka, in particular from the northern direction, where the enemy is trying to put pressure on Krasnohorivka," noted Voronov.

According to the Legion of Freedom officer, Russian troops advanced a little near Novomykhailivka.

"The enemy's 33rd and 39th motorized rifle brigades are active. It is not easy for the Ukrainian Defense Forces today, but we are courageously trying to stabilize the situation and prevent the enemy from advancing further. There are sections of the frontline, in particular near Staromykhailivka, where the enemy is still trying to shell our positions. There are clashes at the level of several positions, but the contact line is not moving," emphasized Voronov.

• Ivan Tymochko, a serviceman and chairman of the Council of Reservists of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, noted that Russia’s aggression is connected with Putin's own political plans.
• The commander of the Tavria operational and strategic grouping of troops, Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, spoke about Russian troops’ activation in the Zaporizhzhia region.
