Russian troops are regrouping their forces in the Zaporizhzhya direction with the aim of conducting assault operations. Although the number of attacks on this section of the front has decreased, shelling has increased.
This was reported today, August 22, to Suspilne correspondents by the spokesperson for the Southern Defence Forces, Vladyslav Voloshyn.
According to Vladyslav Voloshyn, Russian troops are currently actively regrouping their forces by accumulating assault units and moving the personnel of these units to forward positions:
"To resume active assault actions and try to further advance with the aim of taking control of the Zaporizhzhya region. However, the Defence Forces are also conducting search-strike and restorative actions. In particular, in the settlements of Plavni, Kamyanske."
The spokesperson also noted that the occupiers have increased the limits on the use of artillery shells by 54%.
"The number of FPV drones and kamikaze drones has somewhat increased. In the Kherson direction, we recorded approximately 250-270 attacks daily, and now we observe the same number in the Zaporizhzhya direction. In addition, the Russian military has begun to use loitering munitions and aircraft-type drones much more significantly."
