Roman Kostenko about the counteroffensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region/24 channel collage
Powerful artillery battles continue in the Kherson region, especially the situation has not changed. Regarding the advancement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine towards Kherson, Roman Kostenko added that he did not understand why to spread information about the grandiose successes of our defenders.
This was told to Channel 24 by MP and cyborg of Donetsk airport Roman Kostenko. He also noted that the enemy massively uses artillery, so it is very difficult to attack and drive out the Russian invaders.
So I talked about these massive artillery strikes by the Russian invaders and those who served, or the military, understand that it is almost impossible to go on the offensive without suppressing artillery, says Roman Kostenko.
“Our main task now is to knock out enemy equipment, take their positions and only after that counterattack. Under such a dense artillery rain as they are pouring on us, our task is to hold the defense and this is very difficult, “explains the people's deputy.
Victory is not close yet, and every Ukrainian needs to bring it closer, we need to hold on, says the military man. He also adds that our defenders believe in victory and are making superhuman efforts to speed it up.
Pay attention! Local authorities are asking residents of Kherson and the region to leave. Irina Vereshchuk also asked about this, she added that you can use any exit route, even through Crimea.
Fighting in the Kherson region is going on in the gray zone for taking advantageous positions. In places, such battles are local. Both the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the invaders are on the defensive, Roman Kostenko also adds.
Certain advances of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are also local and do not affect the general theater of operations, the military man says.
OK “South” asks not to force events and wait for official information
Head of the press center of the security and defense forces of OK “South” Natalya Gumenyuk explained that the enemy is firing artillery and missiles at the newly liberated Armed Forces of Ukraine or those that were not under occupation. So the invaders are trying to psychologically put pressure on the Ukrainians.
That is why now they do not announce which settlements our military has already managed to dismiss. At the same time, she stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are advancing, and people in the liberated territories are sincerely grateful to our military.
Natalya Gumenyuk also added that while the military operation is underway, she urges absolutely everyone to remain calm and wait for official messages, since only the military knows where they are, where they are moving and what successes they have.
