The spokeswoman of the "South" Operational Command, Colonel Nataliya Humenyuk, noted that Russian troops are trying to divert the AFU's attention from the Kherson direction from the Kinburn spit. To do this, the Russians sometimes intensify their shelling in the Kutsurub and Ochakiv directions.
How the Russian army uses the Kinburn braid
So far, the Kinburn spit is in the hands of the enemy, so far it is occupied, the spokeswoman emphasised.
According to her, Russian troops feel danger on the Kinburn spit, in particular, in its part in the Mykolayiv region. The occupiers also began to abandon artillery and actively use FPV drones.
Therefore, they are trying to launch drones already from the Kherson part of the Kinburn spit, closer to the mainland part of the temporarily occupied region, to secure their units. That is, nervousness in the distribution of forces and resources is also observed here, — Humenyuk noted.
