“They did not achieve any success, according to my information, they lost about two platoons yesterday,” RIA Novosti quotes Barbashov.

According to him, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is going to send reinforcements, but the personnel are “not happy” with this.

Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu agreed with the proposal to organize defense in the Kherson direction along the line of the Dnieper River and ordered the withdrawal of troops.
