"A collapse awaits": the Russian Armed Forces seized three settlements in the Zaporizhzhia region — Syrskyi

He is using the weather conditions — thick fog — to infiltrate between our positions. The situation in the Oleksandrivsk and Gulyaipilsk directions has deteriorated significantly, where the enemy, taking advantage of the numerical advantage in forces and means, has advanced in the course of fierce battles and captured three settlements," Sirskyi wrote, without specifying which settlements he was talking about.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces noted that the fighters of the "South" troop group are fighting grueling battles for Rivnopillia and Yablukovo, for which appropriate support measures are being taken. "The combined fire inflicted significant losses on the aggressor. Every meter of our land costs Russia hundreds of military lives.

Only in the operational zone of the "South" troop group in the last three days, the occupiers lost about 800 people and more than a hundred units of various military equipment," Sirskyi said. At the same time, Ukrainian military man Stanislav Bunyatov with the call sign "Osman" emphasized that the Zaporizhia direction needs special attention, because otherwise everything can "end tragically".

"In 2026, the Zaporizhian direction (from the right flank) is expecting a collapse similar to what happened in Donbas after Avdiivka and Ocheretyna. If we do not react to the current situation in the same way as it happened in Sumy region, everything can end tragically," Osman emphasized. It will be recalled that on October 11, the Southern Defense Forces reported that the Armed Forces had to withdraw from their positions in Zaporizhzhia. On the same day Serhii Sternenko announced.
