In general, the enemy did not stop shelling and tried to put pressure on the residents of the right bank of the Kherson region. Also, from time to time, the occupiers fire from the Kinburn Spit, trying to keep the Ochakiv and Kutsiurub communities in suspense.

In addition, in the area of responsibility of the Southern Defense Forces, the enemy periodically pulls up reserves. The presence of both airborne assault units and recently mobilized units is observed.

According to Humeniuk, there are often disputes between them. "They have internal discord, it is very obvious... but from time to time they have a competition for who will be more effective in their area of responsibility. In this case, they compete in terms of the effectiveness of assault operations, but our units do not give them a chance," she said.
