Russia plans new storms to small groups in Kherson region: in defense forces called the goal of the enemy

To spread: in the southern direction, the Russian military is preparing for assault with small infantry groups, but they do not plan to perform a landing operation due to insufficient forces for its conduct. A spokesman for the south defense forces Vladislav Voloshin told this in a comment for Ukrinform. "A considerable resource is needed to carry out a landing operation, including the forces for transporting the landing. Today, our intelligence does not detect so much forces from the enemy.

We do not exclude this opportunity in the future, but they are not ready for it at this time," Voloshin explained. He also noted that the invaders are preparing for storms with small infantry groups, in particular for local battles and seizure of strategic objects such as islands or bridgeheads on the right bank of the Dnieper. However, for large landing operations with river forging, the enemy does not have sufficient resources.

Kherson representative Pavel Drogal also told about the situation in Kherson. According to him, from March 31 to April 6, Russian troops made 15 attempts to storm Ukrainian positions on the left bank of Kherson region. "During the week, Russian aggressors conducted 460 shelling of Ukrainian positions and civilian facilities. In addition, three air strikes were carried out in the territory," Drogal said.

According to him, the enemy continues active attempts by the assault, trying to displace the Ukrainian military from the position on the Left Bank of the Dnieper. All these attempts were reflected by Ukraine's defense forces. He also reported that during this period the Russians suffered significant losses - 228 dead and wounded, and 51 units of equipment and weapons of the enemy were destroyed. In addition, more than 1.

8 thousand attacks using Russian drones were recorded in the Kherson region a week, of which 81% were destroyed by defense forces. "The occupiers actively use different types of UAV. In total, 1834 cases of use of unmanned aircraft were recorded, 476 of them within the Kherson territorial community," Drogal said. Thanks to the systems of electronic struggle, 1487 UAVs were destroyed or suppressed, of which 386 were in the territory of the Kherson community.

It should be reminded that during the exercises on forcing water obstacles in the Kherson region, the recruits of the Russian army suffer significant losses. They are strict training when they are completely equipped, put on a boat and sent at high speed along the Dnieper River. These maneuvers are used to train the storm of the islands on the river.
