The troops of the Russian Federation actively use artillery and drones.
What is happening on the left bank of the Dnieper
The spokeswoman of the Operational Command "South" Nataliya Humenyuk reported that the Russian troops are not giving up their attempts to storm the positions of Ukrainian defenders on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.
During the day, the occupiers conducted two unsuccessful assaults and lost 45 soldiers.
The spokeswoman emphasized that the Russian troops tried to approach the positions of the Armed Forces in groups on foot and engaged in shooting battles. The Russian army does not use armored vehicles, but instead attacks with mortars, artillery and drones.
The location of equipment, warehouses, dugouts and other fortifications among populated areas complicates the work of the Ukrainian military, but they work successfully. After all, the Russian occupiers are placing equipment and deploying surveillance stations in the yards of private homes of local residents. Considering the width of the Dnipro River, the Ukrainian defenders need to adjust the targets on the left bank, - Humenyuk said.
According to her, the destruction of four large-caliber guns is a significant blow to the Russians. The Armed Forces continue their combat work.
The number of heavy equipment abandoned by the Russian troops on the Oleshkivskaya highway, which tried to be involved in the assaults, is quite convincing and can be seen even from space, she added.
Russia is trying to storm the bridgeheads of the Armed Forces on the left bank of the Dnieper
The Russian occupiers are suffering heavy losses in their attempts to knock out the Ukrainian defenders from the left bank of the Kherson region. The Armed Forces eliminate up to 70% of the enemy's assault group.
This was stated by the spokesperson of the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine Nataliya Humenyuk on the FREEDOM broadcast.
According to her, the Russians no longer use armored vehicles to form assault groups. This is explained by the fact that in the first attempts to knock out the Ukrainian defenders from the left bank of the Dnieper, the Russian equipment "disappeared" very quickly.
Therefore, now purely "meat assaults" are used and assault groups are formed with great difficulty, since the "word of mouth" of the occupying forces very quickly spreads information about the results of such assault activities, when the group returns with losses of up to 70% of personnel.
Humenyuk noted that the enemy command involved the marines, assault troops, and even the coast guard in the assaults. But such units refused to attack without the support of armored vehicles.
Despite significant losses, the Russian command continues to demand to storm the positions of the Ukrainian defenders.
But they still have no results. It is constantly emphasized that they have very high losses in personnel, and it turns out that they have to return to their positions with nothing. Our units continue to work to strengthen positions and, if possible, clear the area for the expansion of this bridgehead.
