Russian occupiers are attempting to conduct rotations on the islands Velykyi Vilkhovyi, Bilohrudyi and Nestyha, but are consistently losing watercraft.
This was reported by the spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces, Vladyslav Voloshyn, in a comment to “Ukrinform”.
According to the spokesman, the enemy is trying to replace personnel at observation posts in the Kherson wetlands and move equipment in the area of Zaliznyi Port.
However, Ukrainian defenders keep these routes under fire control: in the past 24 hours alone, two boats carrying Russian servicemen were destroyed.
Recall that in January 2026 it became known that the Russians withdrew from Oleksiivskyi Island near Oleshky.
