"You can see that they are intensifying their attempts, but they are unsuccessful. However, the number of assaults yesterday was quite high - 30. Most of them were in Staromaiorske (19 unsuccessful attacks), Krynky (7 attacks) and four in Robotyne. By the way, Robotyne is mentioned in the information space, although they are making more attempts at Staromaiorske," he said.
Losses of the occupiers in the South
According to Pletenchuk, the enemy's unsuccessful assaults resulted in the loss of 130 Russian servicemen, of whom more than 60 were killed.

According to him, the Russian pressure is indeed quite serious.
"But this is against the backdrop of the use of resources that were already present there. There are no signs of the creation of offensive groups in our direction," Pletenchuk summed up.
