Ukraine's military name hottest battle zone on Ukrainian southern front

"The Zaporizhzhia axis is divided into three sub-directions: Orikhiv, Huliaipole, and Novopavlivka," Voloshyn said.

According to the Ukrainian military, the most active area is Novopavlivka. Over the past day alone, more than 30 combat clashes were recorded there.

"The enemy is trying to break through to the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. They're (Russian troops - ed.) not too far from it now - around fifteen kilometers away," Voloshyn reported.

Furthermore, the Spokesperson of the Ukrainian Southern Defense Forces said that the enemy is attempting to gain control over the following settlements: Zelene Pole, Vilne Pole, Novopil, Novosilka, and Bohatyr.

"This is, let's say, the most dangerous area in southern Ukraine," Voloshyn stated.

Russian summer offensive

RBC-Ukraine sources within the Ukrainian army claim that Russian troops do not have enough manpower to advance everywhere at once.

During the summer-autumn campaign, the enemy's priorities at the front will look as follows:

First - advancing in the Donetsk region, where the main battles will take place around Pokrovsk, Toretsk, Chasiv Yar, and Kostiantynivka.

Second - advancing in Ukraine's border regions, particularly in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.

Sources clarify that if the Russian army achieves success in these priority areas, it may launch offensives in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions as well.

Earlier, the Spokesperson of the Ukrainian Southern Defense Forces reported that Russian troops have been using motorcycles, buggies, and quadrocycles to quickly reach Ukrainian trenches, fortifications, and defense lines.
