<span><span><span><span><span><span>The "Freedom of Russia" Legion released close-up reconnaissance footage of the bridge across the Kerch Strait. This demonstrated that Russian propaganda’s claims of "full control" over the region are a myth.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>This was reported by Krym.Realii.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>The report notes that the “Freedom of Russia” Legion’s reconnaissance team operated where it was not supposed to be and documented everything necessary. Even a key facility in the Kerch Strait is no longer under the regime’s control.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>“For the Resistance, there are no off-limits sites or impregnable lines. There is information and there are people ready to act. And there is the bridge, which still stands in the turbulent waters of the Kerch Strait,” the statement reads.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

Earlier, it became known that the invaders on the Kinburn Spit are on the defensive and are under constant fire from the Ukrainian Defense Forces, yet are attempting to hold their positions at any cost. According toDenis Nosikov, commander of the “Odessa” operational-tactical group, the Russians are bringing in reinforcements to the spit from the Melitopol direction and are suffering losses at the hands of the Ukrainian Defense Forces each time.

Russian units have moved from their previous positions deeper into the Kinburn Peninsula and are trying to take advantage of any opportunity—including weather conditions—to bring in equipment.
