He told about it on Espreso TV channel

"The enemy has intensified its offensive in the Zaporizhzhia direction. Their artillery is constantly working. Now the roads are a bit covered with ice, so the invaders are trying to conduct offensive actions with the help of armored vehicles and move the gray zone in our direction. They are not giving up trying to recapture the positions they have lost. That's why the front line is quite dynamic and does not stand still," said Denysov.

According to Denysov, the Russian militants have begun to use aviation more actively to support artillery

"As for Robotyne, the occupiers are also trying to advance there. Their tactic is to first raze everything to the ground. With the help of artillery, they more or less manage to advance. Also, their aviation has been very active in supporting them for the last 10 days. However, they have not made any significant progress. They can capture a stronghold at most," he added.

  • Over the past day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces repelled eight Russian attacks in the areas of Stepove and Avdiivka and 21 attacks near Sieverne, Pervomaiske and Nevelske in Donetsk region. Ukrainian military also destroyed 750 Russian soldiers.
