Russian troops have increased their activity in the Prydniprovske sector, especially around the Velykyi Vilkhovyi and Bilohrudyi islands. They are attempting to deploy new assault groups to continue their efforts to control these territories.

Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces, stated this in a comment to a Ukrinform correspondent.

"Last week, the enemy became more active in the Prydniprovske sector, but in a slightly different direction than the Antonivski Bridges. The Russians attempted to land on the Velykyi Vilkhovyi Island and increased their activity on the Bilohrudyi Island, where they are trying to deploy new assault groups to continue their attempts to take control of these islands," Voloshyn said.
