He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"In the Zaporizhzhia direction, Russian forces are intensifying their offensive, targeting villages near the front line with continuous shelling. The enemy is even more active in the direction of Robotyne. A less active area is Malynivka, closer to Vasylivka. Thus, active hostilities are ongoing," noted Burlyk.

According to a Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman, Russian attacks in the Robotyne area are being fought off at great cost.

"Robotyne is surrounded by the enemy. All the activities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces counteroffensive that took place in the summer can be offset because the Russians are actively engaged in combat operations. Assault attacks are taking place one after another. The Russians are ready to fight back one meter at a time, one dugout at a time. Russian equipment is already driving around Robotyne. They manage to break through some areas. If our guys are putting out this fire, so to speak, they are doing it at a great cost. The enemy attacks every two hours. It is very difficult to repel all these attacks to push back the Russians," emphasized Burlyk.

  • Russian military command is likely to form reserves that will conduct large-scale assaults on Ukrainian positions at the front.
