“It turns out that outwardly they show that they seem to be withdrawing everything, on the other hand, they are strengthening the group at night,” RIA Novosti reports him.

Rogov noted that the situation "is alarming and proves that Kyiv does not intend to retreat from plans to attack in the Zaporozhye direction."

According to him, frosts expected in the region can lead to an aggravation of the situation.

Earlier, Acting Governor of the Zaporizhzhya Region Yevgeny Balitsky said that the Russian military was holding its lines, suppressing any attempts to break through the defenses and were ready to go on the offensive in the region if necessary.
