The Russians Found Themselves Trapped On The Kinburn Spit

It is difficult for the occupying forces to withdraw from their positions.

Russian occupiers on the Kinburn Spit are under constant fire from the Ukrainian Defense Forces. The enemy is also experiencing serious supply problems. This was reported by Denis Nosikov, commander of the “Odessa” Territorial Defense Group , in an interview with Radio Liberty "Crimea. Realities".

According to Nosikov, the Russians have been trapped on the Kinburn Spit. However, he said, the enemy continues to deploy reserves and is attempting to hold the peninsula.

Nosikov noted that Ukrainian troops are not physically present on the Kinburn Spit, but it is under their fire control. He added that the Ukrainian flag was raised on the peninsula with the help of a drone.

The commander added that the main Russian force in this sector is the 337th Separate Assault Regiment.

“Well, it’s only called an ‘assault’ regiment because there’s absolutely no question of any assaults at the moment. In short, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are 100 percent in control. The enemy, whatever it may be called, is currently in a very entrenched defensive position,” — Nosikov said.

The commander also noted that Ukrainian units had carried out artillery and airstrikes against Russian army positions on the Kinburn Spit. He noted that following strikes on their logistics and heavy losses, Russian forces withdrew from the northern and western sections of the spit deeper into the peninsula.

Nosikov stated that the Russians are currently facing serious problems with the supply of ammunition, food, and fuel. According to him, the Ukrainian military is observing attempts by the Russians to abandon their positions.

“They’re trying to take advantage of any opportunity, such as weather conditions. The day before yesterday, the weather improved slightly, and they tried to bring in eight vehicles and somehow hide them—to bring in something so they’d have at least something. All eight vehicles were destroyed. When ammunition, food, and water aren’t being delivered, when there’s constant shelling, they’re running from one hole to another, while those they see around them are constantly dying, and so on. And we can all hear and see all this chaos unfolding on the radio,” he added.

In addition, Nosikov said that it is difficult for the Russians to leave their positions because the supply routes are mined, particularly with anti-personnel mines. He emphasized that because of this, enemy troops are effectively trapped.
