Intense fighting on Vremivka front: 37 assaults over past day
Vladyslav Voloshyn, Spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces stated this in a comment to Ukrinform.
"The enemy is increasingly intensifying their assaults, using small infantry groups supported by armored fighting vehicles. Yesterday, even their tanks were active in the area. Ukrainian forces actively defended their positions, destroying one tank and nine armored vehicles. Our soldiers strive to stabilize the situation along the frontline. Despite these successes, fierce battles continue as 37 combat clashes occurred in this sector, which significantly exceeds the usual daily count of 22-26 engagements on this front,” Voloshyn stated.
Voloshyn revealed that Russia has concentrated up to 200,000 troops across southern Ukraine, including: 25,000 personnel from the Black Sea Fleet, 35,000 troops in temporary occupied Crimea, units from the 14th Army Corps (Northern Fleet), positioned near Tendra and Kinburn Spits, combined arms armies from the Southern and Eastern Military Districts, as well as airborne units, reconnaissance teams, UAV operators, and Russian Guard forces.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, across the entire front line, the Ukrainian Defense Forces reported 188 combat engagements with Russian troops on December 5.
