Offensive on Kherson: The Armed Forces told whether the Armed Forces have forces to force the Dnieper in the south
The Russians do not have resources for the forcing of the Dnieper in the south, and the assault of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation over the last few weeks remind intelligence and search actions, said the spokesman for the southern defense forces Vladislav Voloshin on the air of the Telehorphone "Uniform News".
He noted that the forcing of the river is needed by the enemy for the offensive on Kherson, but to overcome such a large water obstacle to the occupiers today there is a lack of resources. "To force it is necessary to gather enough strength and means that in today's intelligence means it is very difficult to hide. At present, our intelligence has not found and cannot say that the enemy has collected enough offensive means for forcing the Dnieper," the spokesman said.
He added that in the last few weeks, the occupiers spend from 5 to 7 storms daily in the Kherson direction, but they are more similar to reconnaissance search. At the same time, the enemy continues to fire the regional center and the settlements adjacent to the river on the right bank.
"What does this storm look like? It is two or three boats, there are five to seven people trying to land on our bank or more on the island area, in particular, on the Cossack Island, to storm there and knock out our defenders from there," the military said. According to Voloshin, almost the entire island zone of the main waterway of Ukraine remains under the fire control of Ukrainian fighters, so the language is not going on for the forcing of the Dnieper in the south.
"Therefore, the enemy does not have success and these intelligence and search actions are more reminiscent of intelligence with battle to identify our firearms, features of our defense, where there are obstacles and barriers," he explained. As of 9 o'clock in the morning on December 26, the operational command of the "South" of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces reported that in the past 24 hours the Russians carried out 3 storms of Cossack Island, but did not have success.
