Russian drone control center destroyed in Kinburn

Ukrainian defenders successfully attacked enemy positions in the area of occupied Pokrovka. The target was a UAV control center belonging to an airborne assault regiment of Russian troops. The Kinburn Spit remains an important point of confrontation in Mykolaiv region, and the destruction of such an object significantly limits the capabilities of enemy aerial reconnaissance in this sector.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In particular, on February 23, the location of the missile division of the 15th Separate Coastal Missile Brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was hit in Crimea. This unit is armed with Bastion coastal missile systems, which the enemy uses to shell Ukrainian cities.

At the same time, successful operations took place in Donetsk region: an ammunition depot of the invaders was destroyed near Nyzhnya Krynka, and a logistics depot was destroyed near Velyka Novosilka, which significantly undermines the logistics of the occupation forces in these sectors.

The Kinburn Spit remains a zone of constant shelling, where the occupiers are trying to hold their positions, and Ukrainian troops are rejecting them. Due to the large-scale destruction, the restoration of nature and the protected area will take many years.

According to Pletenchuk, the Kinburn Spit reserve has been virtually destroyed. Not only plants but also animals are suffering.

"According to the environmentalists I talked to about this, the situation there is catastrophic. There were dozens of bird species there, and most of them have already disappeared," the spokesman said.

"Birds that feel threatened have left the area, and the return of flora and fauna is possible only after the gradual restoration of vegetation.
