The work of the Ukrainian Defence Forces is aimed at disrupting Russia's plans, not destroying infrastructure.
The damage to the Chonhar Bridge is intended to affect traffic capacity, Natalya Humenyuk, head of the Joint Coordination Press Centre of the Defence Forces South, told the telethon. She noted that Ukraine will still need these facilities, so they are not being destroyed.
"The work was sharp and accurate. Now the occupier is looking for new ways to detour to supply its troops with ammunition, equipment and resupply. On the left bank, the enemy is experiencing a significant shortage of updated equipment due to our combat work. We are continuing counter-battery fighting and clearing the enemy's positions on the left bank," she said.
Humenyuk added that the Russians are using civilians for their convoys of equipment. The enemy is forcing them to move in convoys with military equipment so that they are not hit by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
