Russian units are leaving the Kinburn Spit in the Mykolaiv region. Supply routes have been completely cut off, and nearly all Russian forces have already fled, according to Atesh.
Supply routes cut off
The actions of Ukraine's Defense Forces blocked the supply routes used by Russian troops on the spit. According to Atesh, deliveries of ammunition, fuel, and food have completely stopped.
As a result, units of the 337th Regiment found themselves isolated and began withdrawing from the northern and western parts of the spit.
Losses and redeployments exhausted the regiment
After part of the personnel of the 337th Regiment was transferred to the Zaporizhzhia direction, the units on the spit were effectively left without manpower. No reinforcements were sent even once.
The command is moving troops from one position to another, patching gaps where the situation is critical. Only scattered remnants of units remain on the Kinburn Spit.

Drones did their job
Russian forces' fire groups are unable to cope with Ukraine's Defense Forces' drones. At the same time, personnel losses continue to grow.
The enemy's logistics system in this sector has been destroyed, Atesh writes.
Since the beginning of 2025, the Defense Forces have managed to liberate about 590 square kilometers of territory.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have seized the initiative on the battlefield and achieved their biggest successes since the Kursk operation.
