He shared this information on Espreso TV.

"We’re seeing a significant movement of new military forces. Newly arrived units from Russia are moving through the Berdyansk direction toward Tokmak. We’re also noticing units pushing closer to the front lines near Vuhledar, Volnovakha district, and the northern part of Mariupol district. Training of new contractors in the Mariupol-Berdyansk area is nearly complete," Andriushchenko said.

According to him, there’s also a notable transfer of manpower, particularly assault units, moving from Berdyansk toward Tokmak.

"This activity spans the Zaporizhzhia front line from Hulyaipole to Vuhledar. Russian aviation is highly active, with both helicopters and aircraft launching guided bombs and missiles. This signals aggressive moves near Vuhledar, where the enemy is attempting to storm. Similar aviation patterns were seen during the occupation of Vuhledar, followed by a brief operational pause. Now, we’re seeing them ramp up again," Andriushchenko added.
