Russian troops fear that the Defense Forces will attempt to liberate the Kinburn and Tender Spits, so they are reinforcing these areas with special forces from Sevastopol.
This was reported in a comment to Ukrinform by Colonel Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces.
“The Russians are very wary that the Ukrainian Defense Forces will attempt to liberate the Kinburn and Tender spits. That is why they are stationing one of their most combat-ready special forces units there. Among them are many residents of the temporarily occupied Crimea, and there are even some of our former servicemen among them,” Voloshyn said.
He clarified that the special forces of the Sevastopol Special Operations Center are better trained, equipped, and have several modern boats.
