Attacks in the south
Russia continues to attack the south of Ukraine, focusing its attention on the Kherson direction. However, according to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, there is no evidence of readiness for a large-scale attack, as the enemy is not concentrating troops in this section of the front, but on the contrary, is redeploying them to other areas.
“There, the Russians are conducting active actions mainly in the island area and near the bridges. At the same time, they have redeployed one regiment and a marine brigade from this direction, which indicates that there will be no significant offensive actions in the Dnipro direction in the near future”,— explained the military.
Syrskyi also emphasized that the Dnipro direction cannot be considered safe, as the threat has not disappeared.
Recall that earlier we wrote about the consequences of the attack on Odesa at night. Also, about the fact that Russian troops are patrolling the beaches in Crimea.
Summary: According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Russia continues to conduct active actions in the south of Ukraine, particularly in the Kherson direction, but so far there are no signs of preparations for a large-scale offensive. The enemy is not moving large military units to this section of the front, which indicates the absence of an immediate threat of a major attack.Read also
