Speaker of the Defense Forces of the South of Ukraine Vladislav Voloshin, on the air of the national marathon, commented on the information about the 300 boats that Russia collected to cross the Dnieper.
The Ukrinform agency reports this.
The command of the Southern Defense Forces also has all the information, but we are ready for any development of events,” he emphasized. – And I’ll say this: 300 boats – well, that’s 300 boats. This cannot be said to be any serious threat.
Voloshin noted that in order to carry out the offensive, it is necessary to transport, in particular, military equipment, for which it is necessary to equip crossings, or have some appropriate means, more boats.
And 300 boats… Well, they will put five attack aircraft on each one. How will they make these crossings? You understand that a few salvos of artillery – and just (that’s all – ed.),” Voloshin noted.
He confirmed that the Ukrainian military currently has fire control over this particular section of the front.
According to Voloshin, several assault operations take place every day in the Dnieper direction.
The enemy is trying to take control, at least to cling to the zone of islands that are located at the mouth of the Dnieper. Every day there are about five to seven assaults, and all of them are unsuccessful, they end in losses in personnel, losses in watercraft, and no effect for the enemy, Voloshin said.
“This is more like reconnaissance and search operations, because these are assaults by small groups of infantry, from five to seven people – they have no effect and do not have any result,” he added.
Voloshin explained: both the enemy and the Ukrainian military know that the coast, both the Ukrainian military and the Russians, is equipped in engineering terms, it is mined.
And to carry out some complex operation, such as crossing a water obstacle, and even one like the Dnieper, it is very difficult. This requires a lot of preparation, which is very difficult to hide with modern intelligence means, he emphasized.
