Russian forces significantly reinforce defensive lines near Mariupol

Petro Andriushchenko, head of the Occupation Studies Center, reported the information.

According to him, the Russian forces have significantly increased the supply of weapons in the direction of Nikolske-Rozivka. Several convoys of troops and tractors with heavy weapons, including several self-propelled artillery systems and tracked armored vehicles, were spotted.

"Additionally, a significant upgrade of the defense line from Mariupol towards Nikolske has been established. Dragon's teeth, produced at a concrete plant in Mariupol, have been installed here. Some are replacements, while others are new," Andryushchenko noted.

• The press officer of the 14th Assault Brigade, Mykola Koval, reported that Russian forces continue to conduct assault operations in small groups without the support of equipment in the Pokrovsk sector.
