The situation in the Zaporizhzhia direction remains difficult, with the enemy continuing to assault Ukrainian positions. However, the Russian forces have not had much success in this area of the front, according to the spokesperson for the Defense Forces of southern Ukraine Vladyslav Voloshyn.

"This area of combat is quite complex. Earlier, we reported that assault groups were gathering there. For several days, the enemy has been conducting assault operations, trying to take up our positions," Voloshyn said.

At the same time, he noted that the Russian forces have not achieved significant success in this direction.

"The situation is quite dynamic and constantly changing, with the configuration of the front line shifting in one direction or another. The enemy has not launched a major offensive or achieved any significant success in this direction," the spokesperson stated.
