Zaporizhia front activates — military expert Zgurets

Serhiy Zgurets, Defense Express military expert group chief, noted that artillery strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already being carried out on the nearest lines of the enemy's defense

He stated this on Espreso. 

“The Zaporizhzhia front is showing signs of revival, with a significant increase in artillery strikes on enemy targets in the occupied territory. This suggests that the enemy's nearest defense lines are already under artillery fire. There is information regarding the advancement of the 31st mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, penetrating 3 km deep into the enemy-occupied territory between Zaporizhia and Donetsk regions, at the junction of two Russian groups. This strategic move complicates the enemy's control over their forces. These actions can be seen as combat reconnaissance, aiming to mislead the enemy in multiple directions on the Zaporizhzhia front,” according to Zgurets.

The military expert also mentioned that formation actions are taking place on the eastern front, targeting the destruction of the enemy's facilities within their defense depth. Zgurets emphasized that Ukraine’s forces have successfully pushed the enemy back by 400 meters in the Svatove-Kreminna direction.
