An agent of the ATESH partisan movement embedded within the headquarters of the Russian Dnipro Group of Forces reports that actions by Ukraine's Defense Forces to disrupt supply routes have forced Russian forces to hastily withdraw from the Kinburn Spit in Mykolaiv region.
ATESH reported this on Telegram.
"Due to significant personnel losses, units of the 337th Regiment are being pulled back from the coastline — from the northern and western parts of the spit. Fire teams are unable to effectively counter Ukrainian UAVs, and casualties continue to mount," the statement said.
According to ATESH, units of the 337th Regiment are abandoning their positions, while supplies have been completely cut off. Deliveries of ammunition, fuel, and food have also ceased.
"After some servicemen were redeployed to the Zaporizhzhia direction, the remaining units were left with critically reduced manpower. No replenishment of personnel has been carried out even once," the partisans added.
In addition, the command is removing troops from some positions and transferring them to others. Only units that are no longer capable of maintaining an effective defense remain on the spit.
"The occupiers' logistics system in this sector has completely collapsed," ATESH concluded.
The Kinburn Spit peninsula faces the sea channel leading to the port of Mykolaiv. Controlling it allows the Russians to threaten and block maritime traffic with the Ukrainian port. For this reason, while Odessa's ports are open to cargo traffic, Mykolaiv has never reopened since the Russian invasion.
