The NYT reported the event of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Dnipropetrovsk: in the Khortytsia reacted
Ukrainian officers reported The New York Times that the Russians have accumulated significant forces to expand the offensive at the border of Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk region. Journalists with reference to the Armed Forces and military analysts write that these actions of the occupiers are aimed at undermining the moral spirit of Ukrainians and strengthening defense in neighboring areas, where they have already been able to become entrenched.
The authors of the article also point out that the promotion of Russians in this region is reflected on the map of the battlefield from the Washington Institute of War Study on June 12. The Barbarossa Call sign from the 72nd Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who is fighting near the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region, told reporters that the enemy has accumulated a lot of forces in this direction and intends to move deeper into the region.
"The enemy uses small groups - from two to four, sometimes six soldiers moving from a tree to a tree to a tree or from a building to a building," Barbarossa said. Soldiers of the 33rd separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces also speak about the offensive of the Russian Federation in this direction.
The doctors of this unit from the autumn of 2024 were forced to move their stabilization points four times - small field hospitals, which are usually placed a few kilometers from the hollow line. At the end of last year, they placed a point in the village of Novopavlivka, Dnipropetrovsk region, near the administrative border with Donetsk region.
However, in recent weeks, the building has been badly damaged and doctors began to retreat again deep into Dnipropetrovsk, told the military of the 33rd OMB. The officer Victor, who serves on this section of the front, said he was expecting an attempt to capture the occupiers of Novopavlivka, which is located at a strategically advantageous height. Then, according to him, Russians can try to move north in the direction of the village of Mezhov.
Thus, the enemy will be able to form a buffer zone about 10 km deep to protect the flanks and prepare the offensive in Pokrovsk in Donetsk region. The spokesman of Khortytsia Victor Tregubov said "public" that the situation in the Dnipropetrovsk direction remains unchanged and there is no information about the intersection of the admin's border. However, he noted that new data may appear on the evening of June 13.
The presoffiter was a "Khortytsia" Andrei Zadubinny also denied that the Russian troops entered the Dnipropetrovsk region. "The penetration of the enemy into the territory of Dnipropetrovsk region has not been recorded. We will refute this information," Presopiter told reporters. The General Staff of the Armed Forces also did not confirm information about the event of the Russian Federation to the Dnipropetrovsk region.
"In the Dnieper direction, the aggressor made one vain attempt to advance to the positions of our defenders," the report for the day on June 12 reads. The lieutenant of the Defense Forces with the call sign "Alex" on June 11 told about the emergence of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Dnipropetrovsk region.
He noted that the Russians are moving in small groups in the direction of Novopavlivka, and Ukrainian fighters eliminate them with FPV-punks and do not allow them to be fixed under the administrative. The General Staff of the Armed Forces on June 8 denied the statement of the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev about the event in the territory of Dnipropetrovsk region of Russian troops and reported that the fighting in Donetsk was ongoing.
