Chairman of the “We Are Together with Russia” movement, Vladimir Rogov, announced that Russian troops have shifted the front line by a kilometer in the area of the village of Verbovo in the Zaporizhzhia region over the past day. This was reported by RIA Novosti.
“Our military, thanks to tactical successes in the last day, have shifted the front line by a kilometer to the west of the village of Verbovo towards Rabotino,” Rogov said.
He noted that the village of Verbovo itself is under the control of the Russian army, and attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to attack there are being thwarted. According to Rogov, fighting for Rabotino is still ongoing, despite the efforts of Ukrainian forces to hold the settlement.
