Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesperson for Ukraine's Southern Defense Forces, stated this in a comment to Ukrinform.

"In the Huliaipole direction, the enemy continues its attempts to advance and take control of certain settlements. They are attacking in the area where Zaliznychne and Charivne are located, trying to seize control of Huliaipilske and Verkhnia Tersa," he said.

According to him, the Russian command had set tasks to establish control over certain settlements by specific dates.

"According to our intelligence, the enemy had been tasked with taking control of the settlement of Huliaipilske by May 10, and reaching Verkhnia Tersa by May 15. All of these attempts proved unsuccessful," Voloshyn assured.

He added that a fairly high intensity of Russian assault operations is being recorded in this direction, but Ukraine's Defense Forces are holding back their attempts to advance.

As Ukrinform reported, over the past day, May 10, there were 18 Russian attacks in the Huliaipole direction in the areas of Rybne, Charivne, Huliaipole, Nove Zaporizhzhia, Sviatopetrivka, Dobropillia, Zaliznychne, Olenokostiantynivka, and Huliaipilske.
