 Ukrainian Defence Forces advancing towards Novopropyivka, Malatok-Machka, Okorekiv-8. In Zaparizhya direction, the Defence Forces of Ukraine are advancing towards Novopropyivka, which is near the recently liberated Robotyn, and towards Malatok-Machka and Okorekiv-8. Despite rather difficult combat conditions, our troops advanced in the areas of Eurozane, Robotyn, and also had success in Melotopol and Berdiansk directions near Stara-Mayorsk. Currently, our troops are advancing in the direction of Novopropyivka, this is near Robotyn, and in the direction of Malatok-Machka, Okorekiv-8, Oleksandr Stupin, the spokesman for the Joint Press Center of the Defence Forces of Tavria Direction, said. According to the spokesman, the Russians tried to put pressure on the Ukrainian troops in Abdiyivka and Mariinka directions, but they fail. Stupin also noted that Ukrainian soldiers captured 17 occupiers in Tavria Direction over the past day. Certain structures work with them, and I think that they will tell us a lot of interesting things, he said. In addition, Stupin added that the Russians had somewhat strengthened the aviation component, that is, the number of airstrikes increased. According to him, this only proves that other Russian firepower cannot stop the advance of the Ukrainian troops.
