Russians are panicking, so they are lying about Antonivka Bridge - South Defense Forces' spokesperson Humeniuk

This was stated by Natalia Humeniuk, head of the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Defense and Security Forces of the South, in a telethon.

"Their deception is highly concentrated around our area of responsibility - Antonivka Bridge, attacks, and the destruction of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. This speaks to their panic as they try to somehow motivate their personnel and inflate their propaganda victories," noted Humenyuk.

According to her, the Russians are attempting to exert pressure on the local population of the occupied and deoccupied territories, as well as on the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

"They are trying to impose the idea that our counteroffensive is premature. They often claim that it lacks proper support from our partners, but we know the exact schedule of our planned actions," added the leader.

• On June 30, Roman Holovnia, the head of the humanitarian project "Kherson Hub," revealed that active combat operations are ongoing near Antonivka Bridge.
