Ukrainian Defense Forces are ready to eliminate the occupiers.
The Russian occupying army has intensified shelling in Kherson region and the operations of its sabotage and reconnaissance groups. Specifically, they are attempting to establish a foothold in areas controlled by the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
This was stated by Head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, on the air of the telethon.
"We are observing an increase in the activity of the enemy. The Russians have intensified maneuvers with both personnel and equipment. They have increased their firepower from all directions, including through bombing with guided aerial bombs on certain roads and settlements," he said.
According to Prokudin, Ukrainian military forces are aware of the locations where Russian landing groups might be deployed. The Defense Forces are ready to eliminate the occupiers.
"There have been instances where they (the Russians - Ed.) have advanced and attempted to establish themselves on islands or the right bank. So far, none of these attempts have been successful, they have all been destroyed. But this is their objective. The command has tasked them with capturing at least a part of the right-bank Kherson region and establishing a foothold there," Prokudin explained.
