Quote: "The situation on the front line itself is quite tense, as the enemy is trying to gather up all available forces in a so-called fist to inflict losses.

But still, it constantly (has difficulties – ed.) and the mobilised reinforcements are running away (from the time of military enlistment, conscripts are looking for ways to surrender)…

The situation with equipment, supplies, and logistics is very critical because the reserves [for the Russian occupiers – ed.] were brought in via the Crimean Bridge – almost 75% of the supplies.

And now even the sea is on our side, even nature is against them having something functioning there [on the front line – ed.]. Ferries are stopped because of the wind. It is impossible to communicate between points through the (Kerch) Strait. Therefore, they really suffer from the lack of equipment, ammunition, and military equipment."

Details: Humeniuk has explained that by bringing in reserves from Crimea, the invaders are not even bothering to transfer them [the reserves – ed.] to the right bank of the Dnipro, where the fighting is currently underway and where they are waiting for this reinforcement. On the contrary, they are looking for ways to transfer whatever is still in good working order from the right to the left bank.
