The defense forces denied the occupation of the village of Rybne in Zaporozhye: It is in the gray zone The village of Rybne on the DeepState map

The village of Rybne in the Zaporizhzhia region continues to be in the gray zone: the enemy cannot send entrenchment groups there, and it is impractical for Ukrainian soldiers to stay in a completely destroyed settlement.

Direct speech: “Rybno was and remains a gray area. And it is not very true to say that the enemy occupied something there. We do not have a positional, but a maneuverable defense. We reformatted the defense structure there, and that is why we had to leave that village. But it is quite problematic for the enemy to enter and gain a foothold there.”

Details: The spokesman emphasized that the situation on the front line is dynamic and constantly changing. At the same time, he explained that due to the special location of the village, the logistics for the Defense Forces of Ukraine were rather complicated.

Direct speech: “In fact, it was impossible to make both supplies and rotation. Therefore, we reformatted the line of defense construction to save the lives of servicemen and to block the advance of the enemy.”

Details: He added that it was no longer appropriate to hold positions in the village, because the enemy had actually destroyed everything there.

Speaking in general about the situation in the Gulyaipol direction, the spokesman noted that the occupiers are not going to Gulyaipol itself, but are bypassing it from the flanks, since they cannot take the city completely under control and gain a foothold in it. At the same time, where the Russians cannot gain a foothold, they “throw mines”.

Direct speech: “They mined the roads and streets in that part of the city that they cannot take control of. Yards and yards are filled with enemy tank and anti-personnel mines. They use remote mining from drones.”

What preceded: On January 20, the DeepState analytical project reported that Russian occupation forces captured the village of Rybne in the Zaporizhzhia region.
