The occupiers want to cut us off from the sea and reduce exports. All this will have economic consequences.
Mykolaiv is preparing for the offensive today < Russians from the territory of Crimea, also occupiers can try to surround the city. This was stated by Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych during an interview with the UE, adding that today they will equip defense facilities there.
According to him, Russia is accumulating weapons and resources in the Kherson region through Crimea. “We see that Russia is transferring weapons and military resources through the Crimea. We see that they are accumulating them in the Kherson region. And yes, we expect an attack or siege of the city of Nikolaev. Already today we are preparing defense defenses together with our military. In the city and inside. Our utilities are now playing the role of construction workers. We are building, pouring, concreting. In addition, we are still removing Russian military equipment from the fields … So I will say briefly: we are preparing for a full-scale invasion, “Senkevich said. . He added that Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson are important for Russia in two directions – maritime and economic. “The first direction is to cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea. And the second (it is even more important) is economic. Because in fact Ukraine today is primarily an export country, and we earn the most by exporting agro-industrial products, ie grain, oil The ports of Greater Odessa and Mykolayiv accounted for about 85% of the total transshipment of Ukraine, so of course they need to cut off Mykolayiv, cut off the ports of Greater Odessa, and this will have a big negative impact on economy of our state “, – the mayor summed up.
