“Failed miserably”: what is known about the attempted offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Nikolaev and Kherson regions

On August 29, Ukrainian troops, on the direct orders of Vladimir Zelensky, attempted an offensive in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions in three directions, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

The department noted that this attempt failed.

The Ministry of Defense stressed that the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses as a result of active defense by a group of Russian troops.

“During the fighting, 26 Ukrainian tanks, 23 infantry fighting vehicles, nine other armored fighting vehicles were destroyed, two Su-25 attack aircraft were shot down.

Enemy losses in manpower amounted to more than 560 servicemen.

Another attempt at offensive actions by the enemy failed miserably, ”the message says.

Along with this, the navigator of the Ka-52 combat helicopter told how Russian military personnel suppress the offensive actions of Ukrainian troops.

“When there was an unexpected offensive by the enemy, we received the task of destroying the stronghold.

We begin to fly there - an unexpected battle ensued there.

Ours did not let us down - we suppressed this offensive as a group, despite the exposure (electronic impact. -

) and missiles towards us, ”he said.

In turn, the deputy head of the military-civilian administration of the Kherson region, Kirill Stremousov, called the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the administrative center of the region “fake and fantasy”.

According to him, the strikes of the Ukrainian military on civilian infrastructure only strengthen the desire of local residents to join Russia.

“All these strikes on the Antonovsky Bridge, on schools – there are fewer and fewer people who want to return the Ukronazis after these strikes.

Accordingly, the number of people who will go to the referendum is growing.

The more Kherson land is shelled, the more people reject it, this is a natural process ... More and more supporters appear in the Kherson region to go to a referendum, join the Russian Federation, be a subject of the Russian Federation, ”TASS quotes him.

He also noted that several defensive lines have been built in the region.

“Kherson region is completely under the protection of professional military from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Several defensive lines were built.

Nothing threatens Kherson and the Kherson region, ”Stremousov said in a conversation with RIA Novosti.

At the same time, the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, compared the reports of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the southern direction with virtual "attacks" on the Crimean bridge.

“Ukrainian formations are suffering severe losses both in the south and in all other directions.

But the Western masters need to show activity, so a gang of drug addicts and criminals is doing what they do best: imitations and fabrication of information forgeries.

And people who are thrown to certain death in order to achieve an information effect are not sorry for drug addicts, ”he wrote in his Telegram channel.
