In a recent statement to RIA Novosti, Vladimir Rogov, the leader of the Zaporizhia public movement “We are with Russia,” revealed that Russian forces have achieved tactical success in the Orehovskiy and Vremevskiy directions. “Our guys have achieved small tactical victories,” he said. Rogov highlighted that Russian military forces have managed to expand the “gray zone” by pushing back the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) by 250-300 meters in the Orehovskiy direction. “The enemy has been pushed away from the areas where they were firing at our positions. Ukrainian militants are no longer able to approach us so closely,” Rogov added.
The leader of the Zaporizhia public movement also mentioned that in the Vremevskiy direction, north of the village of Priutnoye, the Russian Federation’s military has captured several enemy positions and a couple of strongholds. Prior to this, Vladimir Rogov stated that American Abrams tanks in the Zaporizhia region will burn just like the German Leopard and British Challenger 2 tanks.
On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had made the decision to conduct a military special operation to protect Donbass in response to requests for assistance from the leaders of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) and Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR). Earlier, a Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier expressed confusion about the reasons behind the conflict in Ukraine.
