The Russian military is gradually squeezing the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of the Rabotinsky salient in the Zaporozhye region, Vladimir Rogov said. According to Rogov, Rabotino turned into a place where thousands of Ukrainian soldiers died.

Forbes magazine wrote that the Armed Forces of Ukraine, due to a shortage of manpower, were forced to send one poorly equipped unit to the Rabotin area. The Russian army is attacking in the northeast of Novoprokopovka.
