The head of the Russian occupation of Kherson (South), Vladimir Saldo, was the first to admit a Ukrainian “breakthrough” and in particular the loss of the village of Dudtchany, before assuring that the Russian aviation had “stopped” the advance Ukrainian, according to an interview Monday afternoon published Tuesday on the Telegram page of the person concerned.
“The advance of the Ukrainian-Nazis in the area of Dudchany was stopped […] we must not panic, ”one of his assistants, Kirill Stremoussov, then hammered in a video broadcast on his Telegram channel on Tuesday.
The Russian Telegram channel Rybar, which follows the movements of the Russian forces, noted that the Ukrainians were progressing in the areas of Arkhangelské and Dudtchany in order to “cut off the supplies of the Russian group on the right bank of the Dnieper”.
For their part, the Ukrainian forces remain silent on their advances in the south of the country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky limited himself to saying in his Monday evening address that “new localities have been liberated in several regions”.
“More and more occupiers seek to flee, more and more casualties are inflicted on the enemy army,” he said.
After a series of bitter defeats in northern and eastern Ukraine, Vladimir Putin’s Russia has decided to annex four Ukrainian regions that it controls at least in part and decreed a mobilization of hundreds of thousands of reservists.
In the south, advances by Ukrainian forces have so far been more modest, but for several days videos of Ukrainian soldiers hoisting their flag in villages in the northern Kherson region have multiplied online.
