In addition, Povkh said that earlier Russian subversive reconnaissance groups tried to infiltrate the territory of Ukraine in the northern direction 8-10 times a month. "Their tasks are quite different. These include trivial terrorization of the border population and, possibly, actions in the direction of critical infrastructure facilities located near the state border," the spokesman said.
He added that the commander of the operational command "North" Dmitry Krasilnikov set a reward for a dead or alive saboteur.
Recall
During a press conference , the head of the Chernihiv Regional Military Administration, Vyacheslav Chaus, statedthat Russia is capable of forming a sufficient contingent within a week or three to re-enter the territory of Chernihiv region. However, whether they will do so or not depends on the level of fortifications built by the Ukrainian side.
