Russians forces partially return to positions held before the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station was blown up - Humeniuk

This was reported by Natalia Humeniuk, head of the press centre of the Southern Defence Forces, during a telethon.

"Where the water has receded enough, they are returning. But this work is complicated for them by their own mining, because it became spontaneous after the water worked with their minefields," she said.

According to the head of the press centre of the Southern Defence Forces, the enemy felt comfortable on the defence lines where it was pushed back by the water after the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station was blown up. Humeniuk also noted that those positions were more fortified and located further away from Ukrainian artillery forces.

For this reason, the Russian forces are "very reluctant to return to the positions they held before the hydroelectric power station was blown up". In addition, the occupiers have a difficult humanitarian situation.

"They continue to suffer very seriously from intestinal infections, and some doctors diagnose it as cholera," added Humeniuk.
