The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) pulled more weapons and people into the Zaporozhye region than in the entire special military operation. This was announced on Thursday, October 6, by the chairman of the movement “We are with Russia” Vladimir Rogov.
He stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine retain their offensive potential on the line of contact in the Zaporozhye region, despite the fact that their number of losses is increasing.
“Their activity did not decrease at all, their losses are increasing <...> It cannot be said about the reduction of any offensive potential on the part of the enemy on the Zaporozhye line of contact,” said Rogov TASS.
A day earlier, the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, said that the Russian Armed Forces had destroyed up to 30 Ukrainian militants and seven vehicles in the area of the settlement of Rivnopolye, Zaporozhye region.
On October 1, near the city of Zaporozhye, Russian aircraft destroyed two American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems.
On September 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees on the annexation of the republics of Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions following referendums. On October 5, the Russian leader signed a federal constitutional law on the admission of new territories to the Russian Federation.
Russian forces control the southern and central parts of the Zaporozhye region, while the city of Zaporozhye itself remains under Ukrainian control. The Zaporizhzhya State Administration announced a referendum in the rest of the region after it came under the control of the Russian army.
On February 24, Russia launched a special operation to protect Donbass. The decision was made against the background of the aggravation of the situation in the region as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian military.
