Russian forces are redeploying airborne units from the Prydniprovske sector to the Orikhiv axis in order to sustain the intensity of their assault operations.
This was reported on air by Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Southern Defense Forces.
“For now, this redeployment of Russian airborne units to the Orikhiv direction is ongoing. In particular, from the Prydniprovske or Kherson direction, the enemy is transferring units of the 299th and 219th Airborne Regiments to these areas in order to maintain the intensity and tempo of their assault actions,” Voloshyn said.
At the same time, according to the spokesperson, the Russian troops are withdrawing in the opposite direction those units that have suffered significant losses.
“In the opposite direction, they are moving out those units that we have already badly ‘worn down’ — the ones that will be stationed there for recovery,” Voloshyn noted.
He also expressed hope that Ukrainian forces would continue to inflict losses on the Russian forces.
“We hope that we will ‘wear down’ these units as well and destroy them all,” the spokesperson concluded.
