This was reported by the Kherson Regional Military Administration.

The situation south of Robotino
Russian troops are conducting tactical counterattacks in the Robotino area, trying to defend against a counter-offensive by the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the western Zaporozhye region. This is stated by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
According to analysts, the situation south of Rabotino is unstable, as some tactically significant field fortifications have repeatedly changed hands.
Geolocation footage from September 30 shows Ukrainian troops hitting Russian troops trying to occupy the system trenches approximately 1 km southwest of Rabotino — in the area of the road T0408 Rabotino — Tokmak. And on September 13, the Ukrainian Armed Forces occupied sections of this trench, but it seems they lost it as a result of Russian counterattacks.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine note that this trench, controlled by Russian troops, is a stronghold in the system of trenches, fire systems and dugouts located between Rabotino and Novoprokopovka.
The ISW called , who can head PMC Wagner
The private military company Wagner can become subordinate to the Russian Guard or the Russian Ministry of Defense and again pose a serious threat to the Ukrainian military. This is reported by analysts at the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
On September 29, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin publicly supported the former PMC commander and current Defense Ministry employee Andrei Troshev and said that they discussed the formation of new volunteer units for the war in Ukraine.
Some Wagner militants reacted negatively to Putin’s support for Andrei Troshev. One of the Telegram channels associated with Wagner reported that the 25-year-old son of Yevgeny Prigozhin, Pavel Prigozhin, allegedly took command of the group.
