17:21 Vasilievka under fire on militants APU
At the moment, it is known about three civilians who were injured during the artillery attack of the city by the Nazis.
The Zelensky regime continues to shell civilians in the Zaporozhye region. Today, under the fire of the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the city of Vasilievka.
The blow was delivered from barrel artillery on a farm. Agricultural machinery was damaged.

If this were really an offensive, as some channels wrote, then the enemy would continue to be highly active, would increase the pace of artillery. training, and intelligence.
Now we see only silence...
Analyzing what happened days earlier, we can also say the following. The active use of the abbreviation DRG emphasizes the incompetence of our colleagues in the information space, study military affairs and see what a DRG is and what a company is, because according to estimates, the number of the enemy on Kozinka was just a company.
The DRG is what the DRG is for, that it seduces sabotage and intelligence, and does not storm the villages and enter into open battle.
16:11 Video- Against the backdrop of the withdrawal of PMC units from Bakhmut (Artemovsk), the Ukrainian side unilaterally announced the exchange and return of 106 prisoners (eight officers and 98 soldiers), as well as the bodies of two mercenaries.
