Kinburn Spit: Why the Russian Federation Cannot Lose a Key Position in the South

The Kinburn Spit in the Mykolaiv region remains key for Russian occupiers, who use it to control waterways and block Ukrainian ports. The spokesperson of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasized the importance of this territory, which the occupiers use for shelling and maintaining control over the region.

He also noted that the Kinburn Spit complicates the possibility for Ukrainian forces to land on this flank. The territory of the spit is open, and it is difficult for the occupiers to find shelter. The spokesperson stressed the tactics of quick shelling and retreat due to the vulnerability of their positions.

Thus, the Kinburn Spit remains an important strategic point for Russian occupiers, who use it to control the region and hinder Ukrainian forces.
