The governor of the Mykolaiv region, Vitalii Kim, reported that today Today the Armed forces of Ukraine have returned under the control of almost all territory of the region. Kim reports that the Russians continue to fire at Mykolaiv with the Smerch weapon. The Russians also try to intimidate the local population by telling stories about their 1.000 tanks/700 rocket launchers/5.000 men.
“But they are not there. On the contrary, they are relocating, taking out equipment to repair, no longer abandoning, digging in, and being afraid. They are sitting in the trenches and waiting for us to attack them,” Kim said.
