Valerii Riabykh, Defense Express development director and military expert, stated on Espreso TV."We only know one thing: this sector is fairly active, and the situation can change constantly. That is precisely due to the specifics of conducting combat operations at this stage and to the number of assets available to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Given that we already know there is no fixed line in certain sectors, most of these areas are controlled remotely using drones and by rapid response groups. So there have repeatedly been situations when enemy groups ran in to take photos, to hang up their 'Aquafresh', and then were killed," he said.Valerii Riabykh emphasized that the Ukrainian Defense Forces dealt with the Russian troops immediately using remote means."There is nothing here that would indicate some kind of surprise for us, because it has long been clear that the war has been creeping up on the Dnipropetrovsk region since the beginning of summer. At that time the occupiers even began claiming that they had supposedly crossed the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk region. It should be noted that the front has moved right up to the border of Dnipropetrovsk across the entire sector. So the situation is what it is," the military expert noted.As of Tuesday, August 26, Russian forces had territorial gains in the Dnipropetrovsk region. DeepState reports that the Russian troops captured two settlements — Zaporizke and Novoheorhiivka. Later the General Staff refuted this information.
