In Zaporizhzhia region, the Russians are spreading information as if the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been forbidden to take the bodies of the killed Ukrainian soldiers from the battlefield. This is allegedly done in order to conceal losses.

This lie was debunked by representatives of the Zaporizhzhya regional military administration (OVA) in the official Telegram channel. "The occupiers are trying to spread information that allegedly Ukrainian commanders were forbidden to take the bodies of their dead fighters from the battlefield. They say that in this way Ukraine is trying to hide its military losses. In fact, everything is the opposite," the OVA stated.

The administration stressed that sometimes it really is not possible to take the wounded and killed Ukrainian soldiers from the battlefield. However, it is the Russians who do not allow this to be done. By their actions they violate all international norms of humanitarian law.

Representatives of the OVA described the shelling by the Russians. In the Zaporozhye direction, the Russian enemy is trying to destroy the artillery units of the AFU and restrain the actions of the Ukrainian defenders with constant fire.

Bombardment hit the town of Orekhov, where four warehouses of Optimusagro Trade LLC, the roof of a multi-storey building and a utility building were on fire due to the strikes. All fires were extinguished.
