Two assault groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were destroyed while trying to break through the defense line near the village of Verbovoye. This was announced by the acting governor of the Zaporozhye region, Evgeniy Balitsky, in his Telegram channel.
“During this night alone, two enemy assault groups were completely destroyed, which attempted to break through the line of our defense on the outskirts of Verbovoye. Two hours later, the enemy tried again and was also destroyed,” he wrote.
According to Balitsky, the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhia direction “are showing more and more obvious signs of fatigue.” In particular, every two or three hours the Ukrainian army loses two brigades of soldiers, Balitsky added. On August 29, Balitsky denied the statement of the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar that the Armed Forces of Ukraine took control of the settlement of Rabotino and broke through the first line of defense in the Zaporozhye direction.
On August 28, in the daily report of the Ministry of Defense, it was reported that Russian military personnel repelled seven attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of the settlements of Rabotino and Verbove, Zaporozhye region. On August 30, the Ministry of Defense reported that during the day the Russian Armed Forces repelled nine attacks near these settlements.
