When asked about the situation in Krynky, Humenyuk replied: "We are holding the bridgehead, we are not giving up our positions, we continue to repel the enemy's attacks. Over the past day, we counted 5 attempts (of assaults - ed.). But all of them were unsuccessful. Once again, they tried to penetrate our positions on foot, without armored vehicles, but again left 70% of our personnel there.
According to her, Russians lost 54 occupants in the sector over the last day. The Defense Forces also practiced on the equipment and weapons the enemy is trying to use to harass the right bank.
"11 cannons, 6 mortar crews and Grad multiple rocket launcher systems will no longer interfere with the residents of Kherson," said Humenyuk.
