Kinburn Spit: why the Russian Federation cannot lose the key foothold in Ukraine.
Kinburn Spit under the control of the occupiers
According to inkorr.com: The Kinburn Spit, located in the Mykolaiv region, is of great importance to the Russian troops, who use this territory to control water routes and block Ukrainian ports. A representative of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasized the importance of this strategic site, which the enemy uses for shelling and supporting its positions in the region.
The Importance of Kinburn Spit for Ukrainian Forces
He also noted that Kinburn Spit complicates the landing of Ukrainian paratroopers on this flank. This area is open, and it is difficult for Russian troops to find cover there. The spokesperson noted that the occupiers use tactics of quick shelling and retreat since their positions become vulnerable.
Thus, Kinburn Spit remains an important strategic point for Russian troops, who use it to control the region and create obstacles for Ukrainian forces.
This situation highlights the challenges faced by Ukrainian military in the fight for territorial control. A successful operation at Kinburn Spit could significantly impact the course of the conflict, as control of water routes is critically important for ensuring logistics and security for Ukraine in the southern direction.
