Everything rests on the supply of weapons, which the Armed Forces receive very slowly and in small quantities. If the situation was different, the occupiers “would have stopped behind the Kerch Bridge.”
Major General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmytro Marchenko said that Fighting on the front line between Kherson and Mykolayiv has entered a positional phase, and “every area and everything is mined” is being shot at there, which complicates the task of the Armed Forces to liberate the city of Kherson and its region. Marchenko who, by the way, directed defense of Nikolaev, told the edition “Crimea. Real”.
According to him, such a situation, on the other hand, makes it impossible for the Russians to attack Mykolayiv.
“We lost a little bit of very important operational time and gave them the opportunity to get a little stronger. There are now very well-adjusted work of some individual units that monotonously hit important points every day, thereby demoralizing people. I will say as is: if we had enough forces and means, which we, unfortunately, do not have enough (equipment, weapons, artillery, air defense, air support), if we dispersed, believe me, they would have stopped behind the Kerch Bridge “, – he said.
Marchenko added that the defense of the Russians in the Kherson direction – “the defense of cowardice.”
“Yes, they are pouring concrete. But believe me, when there is a massive offensive, a counterattack, they will all run. Because they are unmotivated. They have no desire or motivation. They were whipped and forced to fight. Nobody forced us to fight, we are recapturing our home. We have no other option, we have one homeland and no one will give us another, “the general added. It will be recalled that some units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are currently 10 kilometers away from the city of Kherson. As of June 11 The Ukrainian military counterattacked in the region in three directions at once.
On June 12, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine was launching a counteroffensive in certain directions. According to him, the fighting is currently continuing on 1,105 km of the front, with a total width of 2,450 km.
