The Ukrainian Army expects that Russian forces will soon launch offensives on Ukrainian positions along certain sections of the front line. The most “dangerous” areas identified are the Vremivka front and the region near Hulyaipole in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, according to Southern Defense Forces spokesperson Vladyslav Voloshyn, reports UkrInform.

The Vremivka front is located in Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine, specifically in the eastern part of the country. It is part of a broader conflict zone where Ukrainian forces are actively engaged in combat against Russian troops. The area is strategically significant due to its proximity to other key locations, such as Kurakhove and Vuhledar, and has been a focal point for military operations and clashes between the two sides.

“According to our intelligence, Russian forces are actively preparing for assault operations on specific sections of the front line. They have brought in reinforcements, resupplied ammunition, and are conducting aerial and engineering reconnaissance of our positions, indicating preparations to initiate assault actions. Some assault groups have already moved to forward positions.

Such actions suggest that the enemy will soon begin attacking our positions. However, this will be a limited offensive—assault actions will likely start on one segment of the frontline,” Voloshyn revealed.

The Ukrainian spokesperson specified that the most concerning areas are sections along the Vremivka axis, near the villages of Levadne and Rivnopil, and near Huliaipole in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

“Additionally, there is information indicating that on the coastal area on the left bank of the Dnipro River—where Kamianske is located—the enemy is also concentrating a certain number of forces and resources to prepare assault groups for further offensive operations,” Voloshyn added.

Currently, the highest activity by occupying forces is observed in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove directions in Donetsk Oblast.
