Russian ocupiers moving reinforcements from Crimean direction to south of Ukraine
Occupiers in the south of Ukraine are no longer able to cope with the efforts of the group already present there. Therefore, they are bolstering their ranks from the Crimean direction, according to Natalia Humenyuk, the head of the United Coordination Press Center for the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine.
According to Humenyuk, the occupiers need to shift their efforts to the south and "concentrate where they are feeling the heat" on land. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are inflicting heavy losses on them across the Dnipro River.
"They (the occupiers) are currently trying to activate their resources from the Crimean direction and gradually deploying new troops there," added the spokesperson.

According to Humenyuk, during the past day of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' combat missions, 52 Russian troops, 3 tanks, multiple rocket launchers (RSZV), 3 large-caliber guns, and a boat were destroyed.
"And we continue to destroy enemy vehicles - minus 11 units," she added.
