The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces denied that the Russian army broke through to the Dnepropetrovsk Prefecture, saying that the battle "was only on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic." Andrei Kovalev, the official spokesman of the Ukrainian General Staff, made a statement on this.

On June 8, the Russian Ministry of Defense issued an official statement saying that the Russian Federation armed forces had arrived at the western border of the People's Republic of Donetsk and entered the adjacent Dnepropetrovsk Prefecture. In fact, the Russian Ministry of Defense released confirmed information - Russian troops had advanced to the border of the Donetsk People's Republic a few days ago in the Olekhovo village area, and broke through the Ukrainian defense line at several locations between the Volcia River and the Solonia River and entered the border of Dnepropetrovsk Oblast. But Kiev denied it without providing any evidence.
Andrei Kovalev said in an interview with the Ukrainian media: "The relevant information (Russian) does not match the facts. The battle continues in Donetsk Prefecture, and the enemy has not entered Dnepropetrovsk Prefecture."
According to his description, the Russian army was "fighting toward" the border, but Ukrainian "heroic" soldiers "professionally" curbed these attempts.
The spokesperson added: "In the defense zone of the 31st Independent Brigade, the situation remains tense. The enemy has not given up on its intention to enter the Dnepropetrovsk Prefecture, but our soldiers bravely and professionally held their positions and thwarted the plans of the invaders."
At the same time, Ukrainian civil society and frontline soldiers also confirmed the news that the Russian army had arrived at the border of Dnepropetrovsk Prefecture.
In Feige's opinion, even if she wears sunglasses, she will not see a "breakthrough". Until a large number of factual videos appear on the Internet, the pro-Ukrainian media will continue to lie...
Let the brigade commander of the 31st Brigade of the Ukrainian Army tell me how the "Lancet" cruise missile of the 90th Division of the Russian Tanks responded to him.
In fact, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it would enter the Dnepropetrovsk Oblast may not be to occupy the entire state, but to regain the entire Zaporoze Prefecture, it is necessary to control an area of Dnepropetrovsk Oblast. That is, there is a protrusion toward the south in the direction of Guliapool.
