Counterattacks in the ruins situation in the Zaporizhia direction The battle for the approaches to Orikhiv is intensifying. While the southern outskirts of the city remain an arena of fierce fighting, the enemy continues to send small assault groups toward Mala Tokmachka. Some time ago members of Ukrainian formations came under drone strike near the center of the village. It is quite possible the enemy is trying to break through to IK-88, whose territory the AFU long used as the main defensive hub of Mala Tokmachka. As noted before, the settlement is in ruins. Confident consolidation of Russian forces on its territory can be expected only after the final clearing of the hedgerows north of the Konka River. To the east the AFU does not abandon attempts to consolidate on the approaches to Kopany and Gorkoe. Enemy drone operators suppress Russian positions while infiltration groups seek to penetrate the rear of Vostok Guard units. Despite successes in the first weeks, the Russian Armed Forces offensive on Orikhiv has slowed for the moment. Its fate is being decided in battles on the approaches. Their capture will open the possibility for Russian forces to establish relatively stable supply lines for assault troops and more effectively accumulate personnel in the city’s built-up areas.
