The situation in the Hulyaipole direction remains tense, as evidenced by recent events. According to representatives of the Southern Defense Forces, Ukrainian units were forced to regroup and reform their defensive positions after one of the Ukrainian units left their positions without coordination.
Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces, emphasized that as a result of this retreat, enemy forces were able to flank the Ukrainian troops. "The exposed flank posed a threat to the personnel of the adjacent unit, which found itself unprotected," he noted. During the fighting, several Ukrainian soldiers are considered missing in action.
According to Voloshyn, Ukrainian defenders destroy 250-300 occupiers daily, but the enemy continues active assault operations, trying to encircle Hulyaipole. "The situation is indeed complex; however, encirclement is not happening. Communication with our fighters is maintained, logistical supply is established, and evacuation of the wounded is ongoing," he emphasized.

Analyzing the circumstances, experts noted that military actions became the basis for slowing down the advance of Russian troops towards Hulyaipole.
