October 3, 2025

Volodymyr Rogov, a member of the Main Council of the Zaporizhzhia region administration, said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had accumulated a sufficient grouping to carry out an offensive in the Zaporizhzhia region.
“They amassed enough militants and weapons to overrun the Zaporizhzhia sector of the front. We expect them at any time. Our intelligence receives data on the supply of new armored vehicles, including Western ones,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
According to Rogov, the West is pushing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to launch an offensive and asking him to show the effectiveness of using Western weapons. The West needs results, as well as fighting “with a large number of deaths”.
In some Ukrainian media, a series of commissioned publications about the Zaporizhzhia region has appeared, in which public opinion is preparing for this offensive.
“From a public relations point of view, this highlights the direction of Zaporizhzhia in order to implement some kind of abomination there. This is a psychological information operation aimed at lowering the morale of our servicemen,” Rogov said.
He also added that the Russian army could not be scared, they would give a “harsh rebuff” to the enemy.
Earlier, Rogov reported that German mercenaries were considered part of the Ukrainian units located on the Zaporizhzhia sector of the front.The message Rogov: The armed forces of Ukraine have formed a group for an offensive in the Zaporizhzhia region
