According to him, there were no active hostilities on the Kherson and Prydniprovia directions for about ten days. But in two days, the Russian Federation has conducted 6-7 assaults there and continues to conduct assault operations.
At the same time, the spokesman said that no large offensive groups were preparing in the southern part of Ukraine: “Currently, no preparations of offensive large groups have been detected in our direction. But the enemy is preparing to conduct assault operations with small groups of infantry. As for the heavy armored vehicles, the enemy has them, but no redeployment in this direction has been recorded so far.”
