“The Kyiv regime is aware that the city of Zaporozhye will be liberated, so it is preparing the city for street fighting.

Now large factories are being turned into bunkers and defensive strongholds,” he told RIA Novosti.

He noted that it is, in particular, about the enterprises Zaporizhstal, Zaporizhkoks, Motorsich, Zaporizhtransformator, etc.

Rogov stressed that the Zelensky regime is trying to repeat the scenario of the Mariupol Azovstal, when the militants were held and covered by civilians.

Earlier, Rogov said that the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye direction are already the same as in Artyomovsky.
