The situation near Antonovsky bridges
According to Voloshin, at the Antonov bridges, several kilometers from the island zone, the Russian Federation is also trying to approach Ukrainian positions, but the Defense Forces are destroying the enemy.
“Well, the main task that the enemy is doing now is trying to evacuate its losses, trying to provide at least some kind of logistical support for its units, which are now in the Kherson direction, because the Ukrainian Defense Forces are not allowing them to act here and implement their plans,” Voloshin added.
In addition, Voloshin said that the enemy is concentrating a certain number of forces and resources in the south of Ukraine to carry out assault operations with small groups of infantry.
“He is concentrating quite a bit of such infantry so that these assault actions continue constantly, so that there are high-intensity assaults. In addition, according to our intelligence, the enemy has transferred there… an additional regiment… But I want to assure you that a regiment is not very many to conduct any serious large-scale offensive actions,” adds Voloshin.
He notes that the Ukrainian military is capable of destroying such a number of Russian forces.
