Occupiers accumulate forces for assault actions: direction of the front named.


In the Zaporizhzhia direction, the occupiers have significantly increased the number of artillery means. This was reported by the commander of the battalion of the 31st separate mechanized brigade with the call sign "Riddick" to the "Espreso" TV channel.
"Over the last week and a half, the enemy has significantly strengthened in the number of artillery means in our direction - from mortars to heavy-caliber systems. Also noticeably increased is the enemy's movement between its positions. We timely detect the enemy and inflict fire damage on him," the military said.
The commander also added that the occupiers have restored their previous positions in the Zaporizhzhia direction and intend to accumulate their forces.
"A significant amount of enemy armored vehicles has not been recorded at the moment. If it is present, it is in a zone that we still cannot control with our means. The enemy has started to restore its previous positions, which indicates its intention to accumulate forces on the destroyed positions. It is likely that after accumulation, it will begin assault actions," noted "Riddick".
Recall, the speaker of "Legion of Freedom" Kostyantyn Denysov reported that the Russians have intensified offensive actions in the Zaporizhzhia region.
