Arestovich said that Russian troops allegedly landed on Big Potemkin Island at the mouth of the Dnieper near Kherson
The reports of recent days about the operational situation in the special operation zone mainly speak of the stabilization of most of the front, positional battles and the strengthening of our defense. The movement of the allied forces forward, albeit difficult, is in the area of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). There seem to be few victorious reports, which is very upsetting for Russian users of social networks.
And here bursts into this information field news, and the primary source of which was not anyone, but representatives of official Kyiv and the Ukrainian "military expert". Moreover, we are talking about one of the sections of the Kherson Front, which, after the withdrawal of our troops to the left bank, became, it seems, predictably stable.
Aleksey Arestovich, an adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, in his usual manner jumping from victorious reports to self-deprecating criticism, said that at the mouth of the Dnieper, the Russian military landed troops on the strategically important Big Potemkin Island, which actually controls the mouth of the river and is located not far from Kherson.
- Arestovich said, promising that the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would now begin to work on the landing.
The coordinator of one of the information resources of Ukraine Konstantin Mashovets, who calls himself a military expert, reported the details of the landing operation of the RF Armed Forces.
According to him, units of the 80th motorized rifle brigade (14th army corps of the Northern fleet), the 25th separate regiment of the GRU special forces and a company of the BARS unit (Russian reservists).
The forcing was carried out from the Russian-controlled Belogrudovo to the southern coast of the island. Further, Russian paratroopers occupied the southeastern part of the island, reconnaissance is being carried out to Lake Zakitnoye, which is located on the eastern outskirts of the island. Mashovets believes that the goal of the Russian landing group will be to move deep into the island to its northern coast.
There is no official information from the Russian command on the fact of landing on the island yet. Although, it is difficult to imagine that Kyiv propagandists would allow such not entirely victorious news to be thrown out on their own initiative, if it does not correspond to reality. Although it is quite possible to assume that if there is no Russian landing on the island, then the same Arestovich will announce that he (the landing) was "joyfully" knocked out of there by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It is still unclear if the landing was nevertheless carried out, whether this will be the beginning of a large-scale offensive by the RF Armed Forces on the occupied territories of the right bank of the Kherson region. Or is it some kind of probing of the enemy's defense and a rehearsal before such an offensive.
