Humeniuk explained how the night strike on Odesa is connected to the situation around Transnistria

At the moment, there is no turbulent activity observed in the territory of the unrecognized Transnistria. However, the night drone and missile attack on Odesa region indicates additional pressure.

Natalia Humeniuk, Spokesperson for the Defense Forces of South of Ukraine, told about this on the air of the telethon.

She emphasizes that there is currently a "destabilisation in the information space", as well as "attempts to create socio-political tension in these territories". According to Humeniuk, Russia does this in waves from time to time.

"The attack that occurred at night in Odesa region, particularly using missiles, is additional pressure and an attempt to convince that support will be provided in case of a turbulent situation there," the representative of the Armed Forces of Ukraine explained.

Humeniuk also stated that the state border is reliably protected and fortified, ensuring its inviolability.

"We are monitoring the situation, and such escalation and tension on the side of the "Transnistrian Republic" were anticipated," she added.
