Defense Forces maintain control over Ternuvate, Voloshyn says

This was reported by Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces, in a comment to Ukrinform.

“Yesterday, they [the occupiers] again showed that Ternuvate is under their control. [The Defense Forces] once again cleared this settlement,” he said.

According to him, the appearance of isolated Russian soldiers in the settlement does not indicate a change in control over it.

“Perhaps someone hid somewhere and provided certain confirmation that they were there. The presence of wounded soldiers in the rear, in some positions, does not mean that this settlement is under their control, because Ternuvate is deep within our defense,” the spokesman explained.

Voloshyn stressed that the Ukrainian military retains ultimate control over the settlement.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Defense Forces liberated Ternuvate from Russian troops in the Zaporizhzhia sector in early February.
