According to Russian officials, the Russian military is trying to cut off all of Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, from the Romanian border to the Black Sea. In the early months of the five-month war, Ukrainian forces resisted Russian efforts to capture Mykolaiv, a port town between Crimea and Odesa, between the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula and the main Ukrainian port.
There have been regular missile strikes on Mykolaiv and Odesa since then. In addition, Russian military personnel and equipment are being moved between Kherson, Mariupol, and Zaporizhzhia, according to the British Defense Ministry Sunday reports. As the Russian manpower is under stress, the reinforcement of the south while fighting is continuing in the eastern Donbas indicates the seriousness of the threat, according to the British report.
The Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered troops to “further intensify their operations in all operational zones” during his visit to the front lines on Saturday. Russian military intelligence spokesman Vadym Skibitskyi said that to prepare for their next offensive, Russia is preparing military equipment. In recent days, he says, Russia has bombed cities with long-range weapons supplied by the West, killing at least 40 people, according to Kyiv.
