This was stated by the head of the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine Natalia Humeniuk during a telethon, UNN reports.

- Gumenyuk said, commenting on the defeat of the command post of the Russian occupation forces near Sevastopol.

She noted that the damage to the command post also affects the moral and psychological state of the Russian troops.

"Both by radio intercepts and the general development of combat events. We see a frantic replacement of units," added Humeniuk.

Humeniuk notedthat as a result of the AFU's attack on the occupiers' military facilities in Crimea, not only one command post was damaged, but also the occupiers' defense system in Crimea was seriously damaged.
