This was told by the head of the joint coordinating press center of the defense forces of southern Ukraine, Natalia Gumenyuk.The actions of the Russians testify to their impossibility of moving on land. The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to work on the destruction of pontoon crossings in the South. At the same time, the invaders are looking for alternative ways to transport their vehicles. According to Gumeniuk, their tenacity is dictated by the orders they receive. The occupiers want to keep at least something that was planned.
In addition, Gumenyuk added that the Russians have no chance of holding a referendum in the occupied territories.
For there are constant air raids in the occupied territory related to our fire control, and our work of artillery units is connected with the destruction of ammunition depots,” Gumenyuk said.
