Russian forces try to storm Nestryha Island, using jet ski

Dmytro Pletenchuk, head of the Center for Strategic Communications of the Southern Defense Forces, said this during the telethon.

"They have already used a jet ski, which is something new. But it didn't help them either. The number of people in Russian uniforms with a blue tan on the shore of this island is only growing, because they have to conduct assault operations from the water, and this is an open area and it is much more difficult there," he said.

Pletenchuk also noted that it is possible that Russia will repeat and intensify its assault attempts due to the increase in equipment.

"Because it is a loss for them both in the propaganda sense and in the tactical sense. Because this is Dnipro's right bank. And they want a small bridgehead there," he said.

At the same time, the head of the Center for Strategic Communications of the Southern Defense Forces added that the Russian troops are hitting settlements on Dnipro's right bank in the Kherson region with guided bombs. According to him, “the situation there is difficult but controlled.”

• On May 7, Pletenchuk said that Russia is not using the Crimean bridge for logistics in full.
