Details: On the Zaporizhzhia front, Russian forces shelled the positions of Ukrainian troops with mortars, rockets, and barrel artillery, and conducted a counter-battery bombardment.

In addition, the Russian group was further reinforced by a Tank Battalion formed using T-62 tanks.

The Russian Federation is transferring its forces from the Crimean Peninsula – not only ground forces but also air and naval components.

It is also known that a column of military equipment – about two dozen curtain-sided trucks and the same number of Grad multiple-launch rocket launchers - drove towards Melitopol from Crimea.

The Russian military is building the third line of their defense, moving reinforcements to gain a foothold and hold their positions in the south of Ukraine.

In addition, the invaders again shelled the village of Novoiakovlivka. Residents of the village are being evacuated from the danger zone due to the constant shelling.

In Berdiansk, the invaders are trying to convince residents to switch to Russian operators’ mobile networks.

In Melitopol, the invaders are planning to distribute Russian passports.

"Melitopol farmers are selling their grain stocks because they are afraid that refusal to give grain to the invaders for next to nothing may lead to the expropriation of all stocks. Therefore, on Wednesday, a column with 20 trucks loaded with grain left in the direction of Crimea. The registration plates on the trucks were covered," the Oblast Military Adminstration said in a statement.
