Russia attacking with ‘heavy fire’ in south: Ukraine army spokesperson

Ukrainian troops are facing “heavy fire” from Russian forces in the southern Zaporizhzhia region after Moscow made its most significant territorial gain in nine months last week, a Ukrainian army spokesperson said Monday.

Ukrainian army spokesperson Dmytro Lykhoviy said Monday that Russia was now launching multiple attacks near the village of Robotyne -- one of the few places where Ukraine had managed to regain ground during last year’s counter-offensive.

“The situation is dynamic here, the enemy is inflicting heavy fire,” he said Monday on state TV.
