Russian forces are building up forces to intensify attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure and coastal zone.
This was reported by the spokeswoman of the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine Nataliya Humeniuk.
"The enemy is accumulating forces to intensify attacks on our infrastructure, the coastal zone, etc. We hear from radio intercepts that the occupiers are warning civilian ships at sea about the impossibility of heading to Ukrainian ports," Humenyuk said.
She also added that the powerful storm of the last few days brought a lot of Russian mines to the Black Sea coast.
"Over the past two days, more than 10 enemy mines were detonated near our shores. Only two of them were destroyed in a controlled manner. Due to the fact that Ukrainians have limited access to the coast, no one was injured," the spokeswoman said.
According to her, the danger is not only because of the storm, but also because the occupiers have started laying more mines.
Humenyuk also spoke about the situation on the Kinburn spit. There, the Russians hide their equipment behind the houses of civilian residents. In addition, the occupiers mine the outskirts of villages so that peaceful Ukrainians cannot leave their settlements.
"However, we still successfully work on the artillery of the occupiers when they bring their weapons to firing positions. The morale and psychological spirit of the Russians who are on the Kinburn spit is extremely low. There is no rotation there due to a lack of personnel. That's why they bought a ticket for one the end," the spokeswoman said.
Attacks of the Russian Federation on Ukraine
We will remind you that in the last few weeks, the Russian invaders have been aggressively attacking Ukraine. The enemy inflicts the most blows on the southern regions.
In particular, Russian attacks are aimed at Ukrainian ports. They hit the infrastructure and grain warehouses.
As the Minister of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov noted, as a result of such hostile shelling in the south of the country, 26 port infrastructure facilities and five civilian ships have already been damaged and partially destroyed.
