"At a training area near the city of Torez, the occupiers set up a training camp for the training of personnel who arrived from prisons to join the units of the 1st Army Corps that suffered losses during the hostilities," the report said.

It added that the enemy continues to take radical measures to keep the situation under control in the Zaporizhzhia region. The command of the 58th Combined Arms Army of the Russian occupation forces held a meeting with the commanders of units operating in the region. According to the available information, participants in the event drew attention to the need to hold the occupied positions and prevent the breakthrough of the Ukrainian defense forces deep into the occupied territory.
