Russia redeployed more than a thousand troops to the occupied part of Kherson region, taking advantage of the cease-fire regime in effect at the end of October during a humanitarian mission in Hola? no—Oleshky. This was reported to the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty project “Krym.Realii” by the 34-st Marine infantry brigade of the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Ukrainian forces speculate that Russia may be preparing an offensive on Kherson. At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces affirm that they are ready for the attacker’s attempts to advance, said Yaroslav Moroz, head of the unmanned systems department of the 34-st brigade.
According to him, Russian troops returned to positions from which Ukrainian forces had driven them out over the past six months. As a result, the enemy moved closer to the line of contact by about 20 kilometers.
Before the cessation of fire was announced, the situation on the left bank of Kherson region was different: the Ukrainian forces expanded the area of effect, pushed back Russian units, and disrupted their logistics.
During the cease-fire period, Russian soldiers arrived at the positions by car. However, after their departure, Ukrainian defenders recorded that far fewer vehicles and servicemen returned than had arrived, Moroz noted. He said that mass assaults by Russia had not yet been carried out, and individual movements by their forces were stopped by Ukrainian troops, the enemy personnel were eliminated.
In addition, Russian soldiers brought a substantial amount of equipment and ammunition to Oleshky hospital. Moroz said that the occupiers counted on the Ukrainian Armed Forces not to attack the medical facility where local residents were receiving treatment.
34-st Marine Brigade defends Kherson, and also holds positions on the left bank of the region and on the islands.
At the end of October, for a few days in the Oleshky district a cease-fire regime was introduced to carry out a humanitarian mission. Thanks to it, several hundred people who remained trapped in the semi-ruined city were able to leave to territory controlled by Ukraine.
