Despite the fact that Ukrainian troops have raised the Ukrainian flag on the Kinburn Spit in Mykolaiv region, it is too early to say that the Russians have left it or that it has been liberated, reports UNN.

Spokesperson of the Naval Forces Dmytro Pletenchuk said in a comment to UNN: "We do not deny it. The enemy suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat. That is true."
He noted that it is too early to talk about the liberation of the Kinburn Spit.
For the enemy, this is an important strategic location for controlling the exits from the seaports of Mykolaiv and Kherson, and for striking the coast of Mykolaiv region. Therefore, yes, we confirm this, but, again, the situation is still developing dynamically. And yes, the enemy has problems due to the cutting off of logistics, but until this coast is occupied by our troops, we cannot say that the spit is liberated
