After the strategic defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the town of Ocheretino in the Avdeevka last week, the Ukrainian military attempted to declare another fake victory to gains some headlines in the MSM.
On April 29, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine proudly declared control of the island of Nestriga on the Dnieper River in the Kherson region. The Ukrainian military soon claimed control of the Kozulishsky island nearby.
In order to declare another media victory, the Ukrainian military command sent a group of Marines from the 35th brigade of the AFU to the island. Armed Ukrainian servicemen entered the islands on motorboats; but their operation did not last long. They were met by the servicemen of the 61st Marine Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces. As a result of the short-sighted actions of the Ukrainian command, the group of Ukrainian Marines was destroyed.
The command of the Ukrainian 35th brigade continues ‘heroically fighting for the islands’, but only in the media. In fact, there are only Russian marines on Nestriga and Kozulishsky islands. Meanwhile, the photos from the area confirm Russian victory:
