The situation for the enemy, who was actually cut off on the right bank of the Kherson region, became threatening. Therefore, they began to take cruel repressive and preventive measures in order to somehow keep the so-called “Zadneprovsky bridgehead” and, under the threat of execution, banned the crossing of the Dnieper River. Military expert Oleg Zhdanov spoke about the reasons and consequences of such a step by the enemy.

According to him, there are three explanations for why the occupiers closed access to the river..

“First, they can take the residents of Kherson hostage. Prevent people from evacuating during the period of active hostilities to liberate the city. That is, to create a human shield out of them,” suggests Zhdanov..

Another explanation, in his opinion, may be that the enemy is afraid of penetration into the territory of our partisans - the resistance movement.

“We are watching how a real guerrilla war is unfolding on the left bank of the Dnieper. In fact, if it is very well organized, it will be almost a second front for Russian troops.. And no one has ever pulled out such a war, ”explained the expert..

The third option is the moral and psychological influence on our own armed forces. Thus, the leadership of the Russian army demonstrates to its own staff that there is nowhere to run..

“As it was in the Roman army - either fight or die.

So, they also make such a choice for their own - either you die, or go and fight so that Ukrainian troops cannot advance to the Dnieper River, ”Zhdanov said..

As reported, Ukrainian troops are advancing in several directions in the western part of the Kherson region.

On September 4, the Armed Forces of Ukraine dealt a blow to the construction and installation department in Kherson. The building is the property of collaborator Vladimir Saldo.
