The Russian army advanced in the Zaporozhye direction, occupying part of the settlement of Stepnogorsk. This was stated in social networks by the senior lieutenant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign Alex.
According to him, the Russian Armed Forces took up positions in the southern and southwestern part of the village. However, it is still unclear, according to him, whether we are talking about individual groups or full-fledged units that have gained a foothold in these positions.
As reported by EADaily, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, deliberately does not want to see a running disaster in the army. This was stated by Verkhovna Rada deputy Mariana Bezuglaya.
So she commented on the Stavka meeting and the denial by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that the Russian Armed Forces occupied the settlements of Zaporizhia and Novogeorgievka in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
