The media reported the release of Great Potemkin: there was an Armed Forces reaction (map)
During the telemorathon, he said that the territory of the island is in the "gray zone", and full control over it is possible only after the full liberation of the left bank of the Dnieper. "Currently, all the islands are in the" gray zone ", which is not controlled by either our troops or the occupiers. Our servicemen are trying to penetrate these islands and take certain measures within the framework of operations.
At the same time, it is impossible to speak about control over the islands," Jerin said. According to him, these islands are not the bridgehead whose maintenance is needed in the long run. But in any case, control over them is possible only after the complete release of the opposite shore, the colonel said. Eryn said that Potemkin Island has location and landscape, which will allow any opposite side to shoot it, so any cluster of troops will be at risk of destruction.
"It is inappropriate at the moment," Jerin summed up. We will remind that on January 2 on the network there was a video with a soldier of the Armed Forces, which poses against the background of the Ukrainian flag and reports the release of the island of the Great Potemkin in the Kherson region. The video was published by the Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko, who in the comments wrote about the liberation of the territory of the island near Kherson.
On January 4, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation struck Kherson on January 4 with inflammatory shells. According to eyewitnesses, the shells were torn into the air, after which their burning fragments fell to the ground. In response, Ukrainian fighters opened fire on the positions of the invaders.
