⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Zaporozhye Direction until 18:00 on 17 May 2023⚡️
Against the background of active fighting in #Bakhmut and the advance of the AFU on the flanks of the city, coverage of events in the southern direction - specifically in #Zaporozhye - decreased. Now more and more people and equipment are concentrated in various settlements of the #Zaporozhye and #Dnepropetrovsk regions.
According to some reports, the grouping of the AFU is up to 50-55 thousand people. The recruitment of new formations, including brigades from the army corps, is almost complete.
Among the members of the Ukrainian formations, they talk about the imminent intensification of hostilities — from a couple of days to a week. In the 108th Territorial Defence Brigade, identification signs ("white cross" on the roof of the equipment) are removed.
At least 16 tactical aircraft, some of which are carriers of Storm Shadow cruise missiles, and six Mi-8 helicopters are based at airfields in #Dnepropetrovsk and #Dolgintsevo.
🔹 In the south of the #Dnepropetrovsk region, excluding Territorial Defence, in #Oboyanovskoye, #Sinelnikovo, #Vasilkovka, #Chaplino, #Pavlograd and #Pokrovskoye, the forces of 10th Army Corps's 116th, 117th, 118th Mechanized Brigades, as well as 1th Separate Tank Brigade, the 71th AFU Jager Brigade and the Air Assault Forces' 82nd Separate Airmobile Brigade are concentrated.
🔹In the #Zaporozhye region, units of 33rd and 47th Mechanized Brigades of 9th Army Corps arrived in #Volnyansk. On the frontline, the formations of the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade and 15th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, 65th Mechanized Brigade, 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade and three Territorial Defence Brigades took up positions.
▪️ In addition, forces of 44th Mechanized Brigade from #Nizhyn were spotted in the direction and the transfer of 14th Brigade of the National Guard from #Vinnitsa and 81st Separate Battalions of the 9th Army Corps from the #Kirovograd region began.
🔹 Members of the Ukrainian formations also report on the possible transfer of paratroopers of the 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade from the #Soledar direction to the area of the #Vremyevsky ledge.
▪️ And the 309th Separate Battalion of the AFU's 48th Engineer Brigade has also been moved to the #Gulyaypole site, which may be armed with mobile bridge-laying machines of American and German production.
