The so-called “leader” of the Kherson region, Volodymyr Saldo, downplayed the achievements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and said that Russian artillery repelled attacks by Ukrainian boats.

Saldo probably intended to refute claims of presence of Ukrainian in place to avoid panic in the chaotic information space of Russia,” – indicated to ISW.
Analysts stressed that they have not yet seen visual evidence of the presence of a significant number of Ukrainian military or equipment in the Cossack Lopan area.
