 Ukrainian forces begin to clear the left bank of the Nipro from the Russians. The defence forces of the south are trying to clear a 20-30km zone on the left bank of Ukraine of Russians as part of the counter-battery fire. Natalya Humeyuk, head of the Joint Press Centre for Operational Command South, said it. For now, we are working to make the enemy feel our presence, our pressure. In particular, we are trying to clear 20-30km on the left bank as part of the counter-battery fire. This is a rather tricky job. It is complicated because the enemy is hiding behind civilians, trying to hide their units and equipment bases in the yards of residents behind residential buildings. But still, our work is quite effective. For example, you can see that the shelling from the Kinburn Spit has significantly decreased since we hit the point of supply and storage of ammunition. Now they do not have powerful support, and even land movement is difficult for them since we are attempting to keep the very Isthmus that connects the mainland of the left bank with the Kinburn Spit under fire control, Humeyuk said. According to Humeyuk, in this way, the defence forces are trying to reduce the onslaught of Russian fire on the Nipro-Bu estuary and the opposite, Haramadas. A Haramadas is an administrative unit designating a town, village or several villages and their adjacent territories, Ochakiv and Kutsurub, Mikoleev or Blast. As for Kursan or Blast, Humeyuk stated that unfortunately Russian forces continue to search for positions and points, hiding again behind the civilian population of the left bank and are shelling the city of Kursan and its suburbs.
