The Russian army is launching wave after wave of assaults in the Huliaipole area
Russian troops are deploying additional units and employing wave-based assault tactics in the Huliaipole sector, but have made no territorial gains. This was reported on Thursday, May 14, by Vladislav Voloshin, spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces.
“The enemy is attempting to secure its own logistics, supply routes, and reinforcements, but the Defense Forces are striking these enemy logistics; however, enemy rotations are taking place. A certain number of units that suffered losses during assault operations are being withdrawn to various training grounds for recovery,” the spokesperson noted.
According to Voloshin, the Russian command recently deployed a new force group in the Huliaipole sector, as the previous assault units had lost their combat capability.
He noted that the occupiers are currently continuing to deploy additional forces and are employing tactics of high-intensity wave assaults.
“This is one of the enemy’s tactics—high-intensity assault operations, where wave follows wave, and this pace sometimes allows the enemy to make some advances,” Voloshin explained.
At the same time, he emphasized that Russian troops have not made any advances recently on the three Zaporizhzhia fronts. Additionally, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have halted the advance of the Russian 5th Army.
“The enemy is not making any headway here right now,” the spokesperson emphasized.
