The occupied peninsula of Crimea is increasingly turning into an island in the logistical sense.
"Because the logistics are complicated and slow. But there are still ways along which it can be carried out. But it is overloaded on those routes, because the same directions are used for military needs as for civilian ones. That is, supplies to the peninsula itself for civilians are also carried out by the same routes that can more or less function. We are talking about the mainland. In fact, they are trying to repair bridges. And the big one that they were so proud of, and those smaller ones that they need so much," she said. telethon "United News" head of the joint press center of the Operational Command "South" Natalia Gumenyuk.
The occupiers are trying to organize repair teams, but it is very difficult, because people understand the danger of such actions. In this regard, they have to be driven to work actually at gunpoint.
“If they have already got there, then this is the zone for reaching the weapons of the Defense Forces. And this means that pontoon crossings, as alternative ones, are also not in absolute safety there,” she explained.
The head of the press center drew attention to the latest shelling in the south. Gumenyuk urged residents of coastal settlements to take care of their own safety and leave if possible.
