“They flooded”: Arestovich announced an offensive in the south, but Russian
The Russian military began an offensive towards Nikolaev.
Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, said this on the video blog of fugitive Russian liberal Mark Feigin, commenting on the situation at the front, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Arestovich, it is not yet clear whether this is a full-fledged offensive or a diversionary maneuver.
“Brave Russian paratroopers galloped from Snigerevka to the west. There we have the shortest direction to Nikolaev. They are happily trying to advance towards Novaya Petrovka, there are not very many there, three or four BTGs are trying, but there is a prospect of their strengthening. It’s impossible to say yet whether these are certain actions, but whether this is the main blow, a distracting blow, I’m not ready to say.
We see what they've done. To say that something really terrible is happening there - no, there were tactical battles, a group of 5-6 BTGs against ours in some numbers. The sides butt heads. A little further south they went there to move in the direction from Lyubomirovka to Novogrigoryevka; they tried to move today, apparently, as it seems to them, coordinating these blows and directions. There is also the shortest route to Nikolaev,” said Arestovich.
