He also notes that Ukrainian forces are maintaining pressure in the Melitopol direction. Over the past three days, Ukrainian defenders have managed to capture 25 occupiers.

"But the enemy does not give up and tries to regain lost ground, particularly to the west of Verbove and to the southeast of Mala Tokmachka. The enemy is even deploying elite forces for the assault - airborne troops, but is suffering losses," the spokesperson added.
