Now there are fierce battles for the Dnieper islands in the Kherson region. The Russians are accumulating troops near the Tendrovskaya and Kinburn spits in order to hold the defense.
This was announced by the speaker of the Southern Defense Forces Vladislav Voloshin on the air of the telethon, reports UNN.
Voloshin explained what could be the reason for the accumulation of Russian troops near the Tendrovskaya and Kinburn spit. Voloshin noted that most likely, according to Ukrainian intelligence, the Russians are accumulating forces there in order to hold more defense.
They (the Russians – Ed.) strengthen fortifications, transfer defensive weapons there in order to prevent our defense forces from crossing the Dnieper, landing troops on the Tendrovskaya and Kinburskaya spit, especially on Kinburskaya, and keep under control this very mouth of the Dnieper, the Dnieper islands for which fierce battles are currently taking place

At the end of October, Voloshin reported that in the south, the Defense Forces are opposed by about 200 thousand invaders.
