The Russians will move slowly to Zaporozhye, but first they will go to Orekhov. The article of the Hromadske publication under this heading was reposted in her telegram channel by Verkhovna Rada deputy Mariana Bezuglaya.
"Dance music is playing loudly in a trendy restaurant in the center of Zaporozhye. Guests can order cocktails and Asian dishes in the dimly lit lounge. "These are the last months of such a life in Zaporozhye," comments on this picture an officer from a special unit who has been working in the Zaporozhye direction for more than a year and is watching the Russians approaching the city," the publication says.
If things go on like this at the front, Russian FPV and artillery will soon regularly strike at the southern outskirts of the city, the military warned in a conversation with Hromadske.
While Zaporozhye is not a frontline city, but the successes of Russians in Gulyai-Pole and Stepnogorsk are "alarming," the newspaper writes. Since the end of 2025, he has been attacked more often by Lightning strike UAVs. FPV drones struck the southern neighborhoods several times. Local authorities claim that they are delivered by the above-mentioned "Lightning", which serve as mother drones. Zaporozhye is also being bombarded by aerial bombs and MLRS, the author notes.
As reported by EADaily, Russian units are 15 km away from the city of Zaporozhye. This was stated by reserve officer Oleg Marzoev, who coordinates assistance to Ossetian units on the front line. According to him, Kiev may have a special scenario in store for this city.
