Russian troops are thrown over to the Kherson direction - CNN
One of the fighters, Senior Lieutenant Andriy Podlisny, says that at first it was a defense operation to stop the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, now the Armed Forces found "good places" that allow them to return their territories. Russian troops are now in defense in this part of the South. Within a few months, the occupiers built several defense echelons. In this area, it is difficult to draw on the open terrain where any offensive forces will not be protected.
"There is more and more signs that the Russians strengthen their military presence in Kherson, deciding to keep it as a vital part of the land bridge in the Crimea and as the main source of water on the island," the authors write. Over the past two weeks, Russia has thrown large convoy west of Mariupol through Melitopol to Kherson. The authors write that in Kryvyi Rih of the Armed Forces they had studied - reservists and National Guards, armed with shotguns, had to storm the house.
Ukrainian police on the second floor played the role of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. After an hourly imitation of the battle, the military never managed to capture the upper floor - a sign of how difficult and heavy urban battles. "Street battle, assault of the settlement is the hardest battle. It is more difficult. Because we do not capture settlements, we release settlements. These are our cities, these are our people," says commander Alexander Piskun.
Nowadays, artillery, not street fights predominate on the Southern Front. First you need to spend them in order to release Kherson. We will remind, in the General Staff stated that the Armed Forces continue the gradual liberation of Kherson region. Despite the enemy's action, the army has released three settlements in the last two weeks. It was reported that the invaders are thrown away by Belarusian equipment towards Kherson through Melitopol.
