Russia continues its attempts to storm Ukraine's positions in south — Southern Defense Forces

She told this on Espreso TV.

"The situation in the south remains quite tense. The Russians keep trying to storm our positions, but without success. They have no success in each of their assaults. The previous day they managed to make 16 such assaults. There was a heavy fog and they could not engage their air forces, even unmanned ones," said Humeniuk.

According to Humeniuk, the Ukrainian Armed Forces eliminated more than 70 Russian soldiers over the last day

"The invaders managed to launch 5 assaults this day. Again, there is no result, and the enemy's losses are quite heavy. More than 70 occupiers were killed. They also suffered losses of heavy artillery, mortar detachments and even a boat," she added.

• On February 19, the non-governmental Ukrainian project DeepState reported that as of the end of the day on February 18, the intensity at the front had somewhat decreased, despite the fact that in the Zaporizhzhia sector, some Russian troops managed to break through the defense near Verbove and break through to Robotyne.
