“Near Svatovo and Kremennaya every day, our military has to repel five or six attacks by small mobile groups,” TASS quoted him as saying.

He also noted that during such attacks, the militants "suffer colossal losses."

“We have a good defense there ... I want to note that the formation of armored groups that go at long distances, at a long distance in the Svatovo-Kremensky direction, are being practiced by our artillery today,” Kiselev emphasized.

Earlier, the press secretary of the acting head of the Kherson region, Vladimir Vasilenko, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to force the Dnieper in the Kherson region, but their actions were stopped.
