“This is due to the fact that they (Russians) realize that their positions are known, (the Armed Forces) have stopped saving shells – Kherson can be hit even with artillery guns – they’re in range. They (the Russians) left their permanent bases where they had been comfortably settled. And now they’re traveling from place to place, changing locations. But since there are a lot of them, they have to stop somewhere anyway. Death from the sky, which is waiting for them, won’t bypass them.”

Molchanov also talked about the tactics of the Russians.

“Everything is scattered and mixed. Therefore, they’re trying to chaotically maneuver with these reserves, but they’ll fail doing this now.”
