09:32 Situationson the Kinburn Spit after the explosion of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.
Data from the Cossacks. Here is what the deputy commander of the Volunteer Corps, which includes the Don brigade, Nikolai Dyakonov, told us:
“On the Kinburn Spit, at the moment, the water has approached a little, but this does not threaten us in any way.
The enemy has been striking at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station for quite a long time, starting from the summer of 1922.
The enemy miscalculated, because there are spare positions, we foresaw this, we are well aware that in the event of such a breakthrough of water, we will urgently have to take up defensive positions at some distance or at some height, we did all this in advance.
From the point of view of strategy, the Kinburn Spit blocks the entrance to the Dnieper, definitely controls the exits - and Ochakov, and Kherson, and Nikolaev. This is a strategic direction.
But, of course, for the enemy there is also a political aspect, which has already been discussed - the settlements located on the Kinburn Spit - this is the former Nikolaev region. At the moment - Kherson, but for the enemy it still remains the Nikolaev region.
Therefore, it is important for them from the point of view of political engagement, information explosion that they will supposedly liberate the Nikolaev region.
But they can forget about it once and for all.”
