"Through the Rain": the offensive of the Armed Forces in the Kherson region slowed down - Reznikov
According to him, the Ukrainian army uses the tactics of liberation of territories "kilometer per kilometer, step by step". "Right now because of the weather conditions, I mean rain, it slowed us a little, but we use the tactics of liberation of our villages step by step and kilometer a kilometer. And we will continue to do so," - said the head of the defense department.
The minister also noted that under the fire control of the Armed Forces are all bridges across the Dnieper, so Russian troops will not be able to flee from Kherson, as it was in Kharkiv. Reznikov also does not believe in the possibility of maintaining street fights in the regional center. "It is risky for them - to stay in Kherson, because they will not escape then, as it was in Izium," he said.
Alexei Reznikov stressed that the war with Russia is now in the third stage - the Armed Forces are gradually liberating the territory. In the first stage, it was necessary to stop the Russian army, in the second stage stabilize the situation throughout the front line. We will remind, on October 25 in the General Staff reported that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will equip defense positions on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.
In the area of the village of Gornostaivka, the invaders are changing the coastline, leaving small aisles for the potential retreat of troops. The head of GUR Kirill Budanov believes that in the near future the Russian army is not going to leave Kherson, but is preparing for his defense. New units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are brought to the regional center. Occupation administrations and property are exported to when you need to get out quickly.
