Orekhovsky sector: enemy counterattacks in Rabotino situation as of 11:00 March 5, 2024

– In the Zaporozhye direction, the enemy finally “came to his senses” after the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces at the end of February, which cost the Ukrainian Armed Forces the loss of part of the village of Rabotino and several strong points. Ukrainian formations have deployed reinforcements and are actively attacking.

– In the middle of the day, the enemy took offensive actions in the area of the school, which is one of the few more or less surviving buildings in the almost completely destroyed village. The Russian servicemen occupying it repelled the onslaught and held their position.

“On the western outskirts of the village there were clashes for 24 hours. Attempts to storm enemy strongholds in forest plantations at the Novoprokopovka-Verbovoe line also continue.

– In recent days, the enemy’s pressure on Rabotino and its environs continues to grow. Ukrainian formations are bringing into battle the units redeployed to the site, which are being staffed in Orekhovo and other populated areas.

– Another problem for Russian troops is attacks by FPV drones on supply and evacuation routes, which complicates the supply of captured positions and makes it difficult to consolidate on them. Therefore, in the coming days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will most likely intensify attacks on Rabotino in order to force the Russian Armed Forces to withdraw from the lines occupied at the end of February.
