He specified that the Russian army was strengthening its troops, particularly in the sectors of Vremivka, Gulyaïpole and Robotyné.
“Every day, it carries out aerial and technical reconnaissance there and restocks with ammunition. For several weeks, the enemy has been preparing to use armored vehicles,” he continued.
Mr Voloshyn refused to give the number of Russian soldiers gathered in this sector of the front, but he said small groups were already launching several attacks every day.
He assured that Ukrainian forces have strengthened their defense lines and are ready to repel a large-scale assault.
Last summer, Ukrainian forces launched a large-scale offensive to reconquer the Zaporizhia and Kherson regions in the south of the country, but failed to make significant advances.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently warned that Russia has prepared a force of some 50,000 soldiers, which he said includes several thousand North Korean troops, in order to reconquer areas of the Russian Kursk region still occupied by Ukraine. .
