Victorious news of 551st day of war: Ukraine's military success in south, strike against Kadyrov soldiers in Enerhodar

The Russian forces' 'shell hunger' in southern Ukraine is becoming commonplace

Operational Command South's press center head Natalia Humeniuk noted that on August 27, three Russian munitions depots were eliminated in the south, which significantly affects the enemy's ammunition supply.

She shared this information on Espreso TV. 

"The work of the Defense Forces continues in the south. We are mainly engaged in counter-battery work, which is quite effective. Over the last day we eliminated 34 more Russian soldiers, 5 large-caliber guns, 3 radar and electronic warfare stations. We also eliminated three munitions depots, which had a significant impact on the enemy's ammunition supply. That is, the enemy's hunger for shells is already becoming quite commonplace, despite the fact that the occupying Russian forces had pulled up some supplies the day before. The invaders have dispersed their stockpiles along the left bank, and now they are trying to bring shells to the positions where they need them from time to time," she said.
