Direct speech: “The situation on the islands has not changed. The enemy continues to conduct reconnaissance and search operations every day, “probes” our defenses, our firepower. He conducts them most actively on Kozatskyi Island and has recently become more active on Velikiy Potemkin Island.”
Details: According to the officer, the enemy strikes with drones, uses army and attack aircraft, strikes with unguided air missiles. In addition, using the weather conditions, Russian troops are trying to carry out assault operations unnoticed, however, according to the spokesman, the Defense Forces have enough means to detect the enemy.
“Every day, the enemy loses both people and watercraft. None of the enemy’s attempts to gain a foothold on the islands for several months have been successful. I think the enemy is still preparing to carry out some actions by small groups of infantry,” the spokesman said.
He also noted that Russian units are constantly recovering losses.
“They are constantly being replenished, equipment, boats are constantly arriving, we have information that engines for motor boats have arrived, etc. However, their number remains constant,” Voloshyn said.
At the same time, according to the spokesman, the enemy is constantly training assault groups to overcome water obstacles, ford rivers and operate on islands.
