Details: Voloshyn said firefights were also recorded near the village of Solodke, where the Russians suffered losses.

Quote: "The situation on the Huliaipole front is quite difficult, as it is on the Oleksandrivka and Orikhiv fronts. The enemy tried to bring consolidation groups into the settlements from which the defence forces moved to more advantageous positions. In addition, the enemy continues intense fire pressure on Ukrainian positions."

The spokesman stressed that in the south of the country, the Oleksandrivka front remains the most active, where Ukrainian forces repelled 15 attacks in one day. "During the assault on Verbove, the enemy used quad bikes and ATVs," he said.

Ukrainian forces repelled six attacks on the Huliaipole front. Russian forces made five attempts to advance on the Orikhiv front.
