Agence France-Presse and Reuters reported that Ukraine said on the 28th that the Ukrainian army had retaken the village of Robotyne on the southern front. Last week, the Ukrainian army said it had raised the flag in the village, but said there was still fighting in the area. Now that the village has been regained, the Ukrainian side is trying to march south and continue to counterattack the Russian army.
Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Marial said that after recapturing the village of Roboti, the army will continue to march southeast of the village and south of the neighboring settlement of Mala Tokmachka. Both are in the Zaporozhye region, which Russia annexed last year.
The village of Roboti is about 10 kilometers south of the front-line town of Orikhiv, on an important road leading to Tokmak, a railway and highway hub occupied by the Russian army. It will be a major milestone if Tokmak can be recovered. The Ukrainian army is trying to advance south to the Sea of Azov, splitting the Russian army in two.
Agence France-Presse pointed out that the limited progress of the Ukrainian army’s southern front has sparked political debate about whether the offensive will be successful. Uzbekistan faces Russian trenches and mine defense lines, and currently only a few villages have been recovered in the south, and it is putting pressure on the outer edge of the war-torn city of Bakhmut in Uzbekistan.
Marial said on the 28th that the Ukrainian army has been advancing in the south of Bakhmut and regained 1 square kilometer of lost land in the past week, but also admitted that the Russian army is trying to retake the territory in the northeast of Ukraine. ) fighting was “very intense”.
