AFU Preparing Liberation Operation At Kinburn Spit

The West has provided combat boats.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing for a liberation operation in the area of Kinburn Spit. This opinion was expressed in a commentary to ‘24 Channel’ by Roman Svitan, a pilot-instructor, colonel in the reserve of the AFU, military expert.
According to him, one of the aid packages to Ukraine from the West contains combat boats, so soon the AFU will probably take up ‘liberation work in the South’.
Svitan noted that the enemy will not be able to attack the Ukrainian-controlled territories from the Kinburn Spit. Thus, the right bank of the Dnipro is very high and ‘it will simply not be possible to come in to fulfil the combat task’. At the same time, the Russians have begun to conduct threatening manoeuvres on the Kinburn Spit - most likely, this is how they are trying to ‘secure themselves from us moving in’.
‘We have recently received up to 200 gunboats. In particular, the Americans handed them over to us. The boats are not for going fishing. The Russians understand this perfectly well and are trying to fortify themselves for the purpose of defence, not offensive action. We are the ones who are ready for offensive action. The question is when, in what sequence, by what forces, but this is classified information,’ the military officer stressed.
In turn, the speaker of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army ‘South’ Serhiy Bratchuk said that in the Dnipro direction, the intensity of enemy assaults has increased.
At the same time, there is information that the Kinburn spit has ‘started to move’, because the enemy is there, despite the losses it suffers after strikes or raids, in particular by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, or artillery strikes:
‘They are trying to control the location where the Dnipro flows into the Black Sea. Is this a preparation for offensive actions? I think the situation will become clear in the near future, but the enemy has really stepped up today’.
