And reduced the gray area.
The Ukrainian Defense Forces have stopped the Russians' advance in the south with successful counterattack and assault actions. They also reduced the "gray zone".
The speaker of the Defense Forces of southern Ukraine Vladyslav Voloshyn announced this in a telethon.
"We have conducted several counterattack and assault actions on some parts of the line of contact. We reduced, first of all, the so-called 'gray zone.' We prevented the enemy from storming and developing success in several directions. In addition, we did not let them start entrenchment groups," he emphasized.
Voloshin added that, according to Ukrainian intelligence, several Russian units have lost combat capabilities and the ability to conduct offensive actions. In addition, they are unable to properly prepare reinforcement groups to hold anything.
"We have certain successes. We have blocked the enemy's advance and are acting in active defense," said a spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces.
