The retreat of Russian troops from the village of Rabotino was a tactical step, said the head of the occupation administration of the Zaporozhye region, Yevgeny Balitsky, on the air of Solovyov Live.
“The Russian army left, tactically left this settlement, because to stay on a bare plane, when there is no way to completely dig in, <…> in general, it does not seem appropriate. Therefore, the Russian army retreated to the hills, ”RBC quotes Balitsky.
He also stressed that Rabotino is “a settlement that remained only on the map.” According to Balitsky, Russian troops have occupied the dominant heights near Rabotino, Ukrainian forces are below, and this position suits the Russian army.
Deputy Defense Minister of Ukraine Anna Malyar announced the liberation of the village of Rabotino on August 29. Reports that Ukrainian troops first partially and then fully regained control of Rabotino appeared a few days before.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, in turn, has not yet officially confirmed the retreat from Rabotino. Yes, September 5th in summary The Russian military department said that the group of Russian troops successfully repelled two attacks by the Ukrainian military in the Rabotino area. Volodymyr Rogov, Representative of the Occupation Administration of the Zaporozhye Region declared September 5, that Russian troops do not allow the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “to completely occupy Rabotino and break through the line of defense.”
