Ukrainian forces are intensifying their operations on the Kinburn Spit, effectively severing Russian supply lines. D. Novikov, speaking to "24 Kanal," detailed how Ukrainian soldiers are utilizing medium-range drones to swiftly destroy enemy artillery and resources, preventing the delivery of essential supplies.
"We have practically disrupted the occupiers' logistics on the spit," Novikov stated, emphasizing that Russian soldiers on the peninsula are now facing severe shortages of food, ammunition, and fuel. This sustained pressure has made it impossible for the enemy to sustain their operations.
Based on intelligence reports, the dire situation has compelled Russian forces to begin evacuating their units from the Kinburn Spit. Novikov explained that a soldier cannot fight without food and water, making the ongoing Russian withdrawal a logical consequence of the disrupted supply chain.
This is not the first report of a Russian evacuation from the area. On June 8, agents from the partisan movement "Ateลก" reported that units of the 337th regiment were urgently leaving their positions due to a complete breakdown in the supply of ammunition, fuel, and food. The current situation suggests a continued and possibly accelerated withdrawal.
