Russian forces are increasingly experiencing logistical difficulties at the Prydniprovskyi front in Ukraine. The situation for Russia has significantly worsened, particularly on the temporarily occupied left bank of the Kherson region, according to Armyinform.
Details of logistical challenges
Yevhen Kravchenko, callsign "Deputat," commander of the second artillery battery of the artillery division of the 34th Separate Marine Brigade Borysfen, reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are consistently striking Russian supply routes. This prevents Russian forces from delivering manpower, ammunition, and other essential supplies to the front line.
"The enemy is currently feeling very unwell on the left bank of the occupied Kherson region. We do not allow them to reach the front line or bring in logistics. Now logistics has become difficult not only to the front line, but to the occupied Kherson region in general," the serviceman said.
Recently, Russian equipment has been rarely observed in the brigade's area of responsibility. If Russian troops do move in this direction, they mostly do so on foot, taking long detours.
Artillery and UAV situation
Despite difficulties, Russian artillery continues to shell the right bank of the Kherson region. However, due to the constant threat of Ukrainian artillery and FPV drone strikes, Russian troops have been forced to pull their firing assets further back.
The greatest problems for Ukrainian forces are currently posed by towed artillery guns, which Russians carefully conceal near the Oleshky Sands National Nature Park. The use of multiple launch rocket systems is also recorded, but their positions are quickly detected and targeted.
Ukrainian forces are also focusing on Russian drone operators who attack Kherson and the surrounding settlements. Now, thanks to coordinated actions of the Defense Forces, a significant number of Russian FPV drones and other UAVs fail to reach the city.
Strikes on Russian logistics
Earlier, residents of the temporarily occupied Crimea were advised to leave the peninsula due to the increased intensity of strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on Russian military targets, as well as the high risk of forced mobilization into the ranks of Russia's army.
In addition, on the night of June 20, Ukrainian forces struck the road bridge across the Henichesk Strait near Henichesk in the Kherson region. Russians actively used this route to supply their military groupings in the southern direction.
During the same attack, the Russian Pantsir-S air defense system and UAV command posts were hit near the Dolynske settlement.
Overall, due to continuous Ukrainian strikes, Russia's logistics in southern Ukraine have reached a critical condition. Satellite imagery shows that the Defense Forces continue to successfully strike bridges near Armyansk, Chongar, and Henichesk.
Due to significant damage to key crossings, Russian troops are being forced to hastily build embankments and deploy pontoon bridges, trying to maintain the weapons and equipment supply.
