Defense Ministry: Ukraine continues to advance in Zaporizhzhia Oblast

Ukrainian troops launched a successful offensive southeast of Robotyne and south of Mala Tokmachka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar wrote on her Telegram channel.

“The enemy tried to regain lost ground east of Robotyno in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. But unsuccessfully,” Maliar said.

Regaining control over the village of Robotyne is of crucial strategic importance for the Ukrainian military, which is attempting to advance south towards Tokmak and Melitopol.
