⚡️Video⚡️FAB-500 hit positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Ryzhevka⚡️

In the border areas, work continues to detect and destroy enemy equipment and personnel. The video shows the use of FAB-500 on positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the border village of Ryzhevka. Enemy activity in this area has noticeably decreased, as well as in the Kozinki area in the Grayvoronovo district of the Belgorod region. There, lately, only the work of artillery and small groups has been noted, probing the approaches to our border.

But on the other side of the Belgorod region, from the area of ​​​​the settlements of Valuiki and Shebekino, there are reports that the enemy continues to accumulate forces. According to reports from the field, the Ukrainians are scattering large numbers of personnel across border settlements, 100-200 people in each. There are signs that columns may be formed there in a short time for further more active actions on the border with Russia.

Judging by the interceptions, it cannot be ruled out that the DRGs in the area of ​​Kozinki and Ryzhevka are pursuing the goal of distracting the attention of our management team of the border covering group in order to deliver a serious blow in those areas where it is now relatively quiet.

But, as the events of recent days have shown, our border is under reliable protection, and any actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will no longer be a surprise to us.
