Russian ships maneuvering near Odesa, threat of landing persists

The relevant statement was made by South Operational Command Officer Vladyslav Nazarov on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Enemy ships continue maneuvering, and the threat of enemy landing is persisting. The enemy is insistently conducting air reconnaissance operations, putting pressure and attacking from the air. However, anti-aircraft defense units and the whole defense system of our region are well arranged and ready to counter any provocations of the enemy, as well as use landscape peculiarities,” Nazarov told.

Nazarov called on local residents to stay alert and careful, not to endanger themselves and not to post photographs and video on social media, which could be useful to the enemy.
