We move from one forest patch to another – Ukrainian defenders on offensive near Robotyne
Ukrainian defence forces are continuing to advance in the area of Robotyne in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Russian troops have suffered increased losses of military equipment in recent days, and they have strong defence lines, so Ukrainian defenders are advancing slowly.

Quote from Shtupun: "We are continuing our offensive operation near Robotyne. Let's just say we are not moving fast there, but we are making some progress. It is quite difficult because the enemy has strong defence lines. That's why we are moving from one patch of forest to another, sometimes 50-100 metres per day, sometimes 300-400 metres.
Over the past week, counting from last Monday, there have been losses in equipment – 20-30 pieces. And during the last two days, we have recorded more than 50 pieces of equipment lost by the enemy."
Details: At the same time, Shtupun noted that the Russians are not giving up, although they are suffering heavy losses, especially in equipment.
