“The number of troops and matériel that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have moved in Zaporozhye is impressive, it is even much higher than what has been seen since the beginning of the special military operation,” Rogov said on Thursday on his Telegram channel.

He previously stated that Ukraine deployed more than 450 Special Operations Forces personnel to the region to participate in combat operations.

According to Rogov, the Ukrainian Armed Forces conducted at least three exercises in September in the Volnoandreyevka area to deploy troops across the Dnieper River.
