**Ukraine Reports Intense Fighting on Border with Donetsk Region**
The Ukrainian military is facing a tough battle on the border of the Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions, where Russian forces are attempting to break through defense lines. According to reports from the Defense Forces of Ukraine, the enemy is using all available means, including aviation, artillery, and infantry supported by armored vehicles.
**Key Areas Under Heavy Attack**
The hottest zones of combat activity are around Krasnohorivka, Novomykhailivka, and south of Pokrovsk. These areas have seen intense fighting over the past few days, with Russian forces trying to push into Dnipropetrovsk region. The situation is so dire that Ukrainian troops are having to hold their ground against repeated enemy assaults.
**Russian Claims of Entering Dnipropetrovsk Region Exposed**
Spokesperson Viktor Tregubov has debunked claims by Russian forces that they have entered the Dnipropetrovsk region, pointing out that these claims have been made for three weeks now and are based on fake videos. He emphasized that there is no evidence of Russian control over any territory in or beyond the administrative border.
**Ukrainian Forces Holding Strong**
Despite the intense fighting, Ukrainian forces are holding their ground thanks to coordinated actions between infantry, artillery, and UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Units from the “Khortytsia” operational-strategic group have inflicted significant losses on the enemy and successfully repelled multiple assaults.
**Critical Importance of Maintaining Defense Lines**
Tregubov emphasized that maintaining defense lines in this area is critical to preventing Russian forces from expanding their offensive zone and pushing deeper into Dnipropetrovsk region. Ukrainian troops are working tirelessly to reinforce defenses, and the situation remains under control for now.
