The Atesh resistance movement reports.

An agent with the 61st Marine Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces reports that this may be due to a possible offensive by the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the Kherson sector.

"The soldiers of this brigade have repeatedly received intelligence information about a possible offensive by Ukrainian forces. It is also reported that all units up to 15 kilometers deep have been put on full combat alert," the guerrillas say.


According to them, this confirms the information of agents from the Kherson region about the movement of about 1,000 Russian soldiers toward the Dnipro River.


"It is obvious that the invaders are seriously considering the possibility of an offensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area. They would not blow up such a strategically important bridge without good reason. However, this remains only one version. The Russians could have blown up the bridge for another, still unclear reason," the resistance explained.

 

  • On September 21, the movement of military equipment and the deployment of Russian army personnel to the northern Donetsk region was spotted in the temporarily occupied Mariupol.
