Source Reports

Russia has likely over the past two weeks reinforced the 58th Combined Arms Army on the Orikhiv front in Zaporizhzhia Oblast with additional units from Russian Airborne Forces.

At least five regiments of Russian Airborne Forces from the 7th and 76th divisions are now likely to be concentrated a few kilometres from the front line village of Robotyne.

This group should have about 10,000 elite paratroopers at full strength.

Almost all these units are likely faced with a significant lack of personnel.

Elements of Russia's Black Sea Fleet appear to have retreated behind deeper defensive lines following Ukraine's liberation of Robotyne.

AFU forces made other important advances just west of the newly liberated town of Robotyne (10 km south of Orikhiv), the ISW reported.

Ukrainian forces broke through critical Russian defensive lines just to the west of Verbove (18 km southeast of Orikhiv).

Soldiers of the 15th Kara-Dag Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine captured enemy positions in the Novoprokopivka-Verbove area in Zaporizhzhia region.
