According to him, this attempt by the Russians was not something extraordinary, because every day the occupiers try to take islands in the Dnieper or even a bridgehead on the right bank.
“Yesterday, the enemy increased the number of artillery shelling, started firing from MLRS, from large-caliber artillery at Kherson and its suburbs, and during this artillery shelling, he tried to cross over in a small group in the Antonovsky Bridge area,” Voloshin said.
He noted that the defense forces were working ahead of the curve, and that was the reason why some enemy assets did not have time to deploy and remained in places of concentration.
“Although the shelling was quite massive, and there were casualties and injuries, houses and infrastructure were destroyed, the enemy could not swim even to the middle of the Dnieper,” Voloshin emphasized.
