Russian occupiers broke through to Dachne in the Dnipropetrovsk region several times. However, the settlement remains under the control of Ukraine's Defense Forces, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.

Ukrainian soldiers continue to hold back the pressure of the invaders, who do not stop trying to cross the administrative border of Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions. The enemy carries out "meat assaults" with small infantry units, as well as sabotage and reconnaissance groups.

The General Staff reported that several days ago, a small enemy reconnaissance group managed to enter the boundaries of the settlement of Dachne, located in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Russian soldiers had time to take photos with the Russian tricolor, but Ukrainian defenders eliminated the invaders.

In one of the next assaults, two Russian servicemen were luckier - they survived and were taken prisoner by the Marine Brigade of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Therefore, Russian propaganda reports about capturing a bridgehead in the Dnipropetrovsk region do not correspond to reality. Dachne remains under the control of Ukraine's Defense Forces," the statement says.

Russia's offensive toward Dnipropetrovsk region

Since spring, Russia has repeatedly tried to break through the Ukrainian defense and advance into the Dnipropetrovsk region.

In June, Russian troops even claimed they had allegedly "entered" the territory of the region, but the General Staff refuted this information.

Today, July 2, a video appeared online showing Russian troops allegedly entering the village of Dachne in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Earlier, the Russians claimed they had supposedly captured this settlement.

The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces told RBC-Ukraine that Russia's statements do not correspond to reality.

Furthermore, the Chief of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, noted that there is no military threat to Dnipro.
