Invaders in south experiencing 'shell tachycardia' - Humeniuk

Russian troops have reduced the number of attacks in the southern direction, experiencing 'shell hunger' as a result of the combat work of Ukrainian defenders.

Natalia Humeniuk, the head of the joint press center of the Operational Command South, said this on the air of the telethon 'United News', an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"The night was relatively calm in the south, the enemy reduced the number of attacks. It means that the enemy feels this so-called 'shell tachycardia' due to the consequences of our combat work. From time to time they manage to pull up some reserves for themselves. They (the invaders - ed.) have been concentrated on the left bank for a long time and have many different supply points, which are also dispersed in order not to be hit at the same time. There is a part of the stockpile that is stored on the Crimean peninsula, and it is more difficult to pull it up. But they are still able to maneuver between their stockpiles on the left bank of the mainland," noted Humeniuk.

She noted that the day before last, the enemy made about 80 attacks in the south. At the same time, 36 attacks were registered during the day and 18 at night.

"It seems that the supply did not take place, which means that we have succeeded in slowing down and complicating the logistics. Nevertheless, they are continuing to repair the damaged bridges - Chongar and Henichesk. It is very difficult because they cannot assemble a team and gather repairmen. This is complicated by the fact that there are no specialists, and the danger is great. People realize that the bridge was hit, so the repair team may be hit as well," said Humeniuk.
