“Despite the enemy's claims about capturing these settlements, they are under the control of Ukraine's Defense Forces. As usual, the enemy is trying to infiltrate by sending in small sabotage and reconnaissance groups, but they are being neutralized,” Shapoval said.

According to him, Ukrainian forces maintain constant control over the situation.

“UAV reconnaissance is operating regardless of time of day or weather conditions, and aerial surveillance is conducted on a continuous basis,” the spokesperson emphasized.
