This was announced by the head of the Snigirevsky district of the Kherson region Yuriy Barbashov.
"In recent days, we have noted massive troop movements. They stood in Snigirevka and came out," TASS quoted him as saying.
Barbashov noted that over the past three days, several columns of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been defeated.
On April 26, the founder of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that he was confident that the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would launch a counteroffensive after May 2.
The acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, said that Russian forces are taking all measures to repel a possible counteroffensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Western countries no longer hide the fact that they are behind the planning of the counteroffensive of the Kyiv regime.
