Kyiv • UNN
Russian troops have significantly increased the number of assault operations in the Kherson direction, especially in the island zone. The enemy seeks to take control of the islands to get closer to the Dnipro and land on the right bank.
Over the past few days, the Russians have significantly increased the number of assault operations in the Kherson direction. This was stated by the spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine, Vladyslav Voloshyn, on the air of the telethon, as reported by UNN.
Over the past few days, the enemy has significantly increased the number of assault operations specifically in the Kherson direction. But he has increased the number across the entire island zone... Starting from the south and ending with the Antonivka bridges - railway and automobile. On each of these islands, which exist - these are Zabyche, Velykyi Potomkin (Velykyi Vilkhovyi - ed.), Bilohrudiv, the enemy conducts one or two assault operations.
He noted that the enemy is trying to take control of this island zone in order to get closer to the Dnipro riverbed and start some assault, forcing actions from there to land on the right bank.
However, this entire zone is under the control of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, and we are destroying and suppressing all enemy attempts to seize at least some foothold in this island zone.
