Quote: "The information gathered by the intelligence says that in the near perspective, the main task of the Armed Forces of Russia is to hold their positions and stop the Ukrainian offensive on the Kherson front".

Russians plan to fulfil this task during the first wave of mobilisation and by increasing the quantity of the Russian military units on the right bank of the Dnipro river".

Details: Hromov states that as of today, the occupiers use 45 battalion tactical groups that accelerate the fortification of the defensive lines for containment of the Ukrainian offensive in the Pivdennyi Buh front.

Thus, Russians are constantly trying to restore the crossings over the Dnipro river in order to facilitate the support of their troops.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to launch attacks on the personnel and military equipment of the occupiers. They are destroying crossings, storages and keep the logistic supply routes of the occupiers under fire control.
