Zaporizhzhya front remains unusually quiet
Russian troops deployed around Zaporizhzhya Oblast have not launched any assaults on Ukrainian positions for three days in a row, Operational Command South spokesperson Dmytro Lykhovyi told Ukrainian TV broadcasters on Aug. 20.
According to Lykhovyi, this lull is notable because the frontline in the area is long and "the Russians have not gone anywhere."
He added that Ukrainian forces are monitoring the situation, as such behavior by the Russian troops is “unusual.”
“There is certain activity, if I can call it that, in the Prydniprovskyi direction, where the enemy continues to try to push our units from their positions on the left bank of the Dnipro River,” said Lykhovyi.
“However, yesterday there was only one enemy assault on our units' positions near the village of Krynky.”
The spokesperson also noted that he would not necessarily associate this anomaly with Ukraine’s ongoing operation in Kursk Oblast, as some analysts suggested previously.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
