This was stated by the head of the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces Natalia Humeniuk on Radio Donbas.Realii, Hromadske reports.

She said that at the same time, Ukrainian defenders are trying to maintain fire control over the transportation routes so that the Russian toops cannot use them, even to retreat over such a long distance.

"That is, we are tracking their (Russians' - ed.) advance, trying to stop their movement, to stop not only the convoys of equipment and manpower to the front line, but also the retreat," noted Humeniuk.

According to her, a "powerful preparatory stage" is underway, during which Ukrainian defenders are destroying the occupiers' capabilities: warehouses, equipment, and personnel deployment sites.

"Of course, they are calculating the mileage so as not to be hit by Ukrainian weapons, but given that the season of explosions has already begun in Crimea, they are gradually realizing that wherever Ukraine is, they will not have peace," emphasized Humeniuk.
