Russian forces advanced in the area of Pyatykhatky near Zaporizhzhia – Deep State

Russian forces have advanced near the village of Pyatykhatky in the Zaporizhzhia sector.

This information reported according to data from the Ukrainian military monitoring group Deep State.

Meanwhile, Russian sources claim to have captured the nearby village of Lobkove, which, according to Deep State, remains in the “gray zone” (contested territory).

For context, Russian troops began sustained attacks in this area in mid-March. So far, these actions remain tactical in scale, but Western media outlets have begun reporting that Russia may be preparing for a broader offensive in the Zaporizhzhia region.
