According to Kim: "The invaders have been forced out of the city. We have a lot of their equipment.
Not only did we force them out of Mykolayiv, but also out of Kulbakino. Right now they are simply running away. Mostly in the direction of Kherson. Towards [the towns of] Shevchenko, Such, and Snigurivka.
"There is no enemy equipment in the city. The city is on lockdown."
Details: Kim reported that there are civilian casualties in Mykolayiv.
"The orcs are hungry and will ask for food. You can give them food and then detain them. Civil detention, so to speak," Kim appealed to the local residents.
Background:
- On 4 March the authorities reported that the Russian occupying forces had entered Mykolayiv. Street battles ensued.
- Later on, the Russian troops retreated from the Kulbakine airfield to the aircraft repairs plant. They were no longer present in the city itself.
