The Kremlin tries to reassure Russians because of the successes of the Armed Forces in Kherson region - isw (map)
The report of November 21 states that the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu spoke at the College of the Ministry of Defense of Russia. During the event, he stated that the Russian forces prevented all attempts by the Armed Forces to carry out landing operations in the Kherson direction. According to him, Ukrainian troops allegedly suffer tremendous losses.
According to analysts, Shoiga's statement is an attempt to reduce the concern of some Russian troops due to the inability of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to repel attacks of Ukrainian forces on the left bank of Kherson region. However, this is unlikely to reassure complaints that grow in the Russian information space. The ISW believes that Russian troops continue to recognize the presence of Ukrainian troops on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.
They complain that the invaders cannot squeeze them from there. Yes, one of the militarys reported that the Armed Forces had destroyed a whole assault group under the holes. And on November 17, according to the insider source, 76 Russians were eliminated in the 1st Battalion of the 35th OMSBD as a result of a Ukrainian blow. The Russians wanted to conduct a "distracting maneuver" in the Skadovsky district.
The report also states that Russian servicemen complain that commanders are forcing to participate in the storms of wounded soldiers. In addition, they do not have reconnaissance UAVs and fire support from artillery and mortar units. According to one of the Russian servicemen, its unit practically does not interact with other parts. The command headquarters builds unsuccessful plans because it receives incorrect information.
Analysts noted that the Russian troops were not amazed by Shoig's statements. At the same time, Ukrainian forces in the Kherson region continue to move. Thus, according to Russian sources, the Armed Forces have already entered the forest area near Krynok. We will remind that the network showed how the soldiers of the Armed Forces hunt for enemy equipment near Kherson. Yes, Ukrainian defenders managed to track and destroy the BTR-82A of the Russians.
