SIMFEROPOL, May 5. The village of Rabotino on the Orekhovsky direction of the Zaporozhye line The front has moved into the “gray” zone, the enemy no longer physically controls it, said Vladimir Rogov, Chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on Sovereignty Issues, Co-Chairman of the Coordination Council for the Integration of New Regions.
Earlier, Rogov reported that the main forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces had left Rabotino, having fled from positions in the northern part of the village, and the remaining small groups of the enemy were being cleared out. Already on May 1, he reported that the Russian military raised the Russian flag over the village.
“Rabotino has completely moved into the “gray” zone. The enemy no longer physically controls it. There is no point in our guys being there either, because it is lowland. The main thing is to take control of the nearest heights,” Rogov said.
Rabotino is a village on the front line in the Zaporozhye region. The Kyiv authorities present it as the main achievement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counter-offensive since June last year in the Zaporozhye direction. It was to capture it that Ukraine brought into battle brigades with Western training from the strategic reserve.
