Most of the gray zone near Novomykolaivka in the Zaporizhzhia region remains under Ukrainian fire control, and Russian forces are unable to establish a foothold in this part of the front.

This was stated by Spokesperson for Defense Forces of the South Vladyslav Voloshyn in a comment to Ukrinform, responding to DeepState reports of an alleged Russian advance near Novomykolaivka.

“Claiming that the enemy has taken control of a large area would be incorrect. The situation there is very dynamic, and we are taking multiple measures to push the enemy out of this gray zone. In reality, there has been no enemy advance, and they cannot consolidate any groups there,” Voloshyn said.

He added that most of the gray zone remains under the fire control of Ukrainian forces, which prevent the enemy from making any progress.
