During the live broadcast of the united telethon, Captain 1st Rank Natalia Humeniuk, the head of the United Coordination Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine, spoke about the strikes on the Chongar and Genichesk bridges.

"There are two aspects here. Firstly, I will emphasize again that the Defense Forces do not destroy infrastructure, they do not destroy what we will also need, but they are targeting the enemy's plans and strategies. Therefore, the strikes on these bridges have rendered them unable to assist the enemy in supplying what they need: reserves and resources for their combat platforms. What they were pulling from the Crimean Peninsula, they now have to bypass. They have already marked various routes, including the one through Armeniansk. This is critical proximity to the Defense Forces," Natalia Humeniuk noted.

According to her, the Russians are already feeling the significant and far-reaching impact of the Defense Forces, which frightens and surprises them, and now they have to resort to using ground transport routes that are as close as possible to the Defense Forces.

"This, of course, complicates and slows down their logistics because they are trying to intersperse their military convoys with civilian transport. Having hit the Russian supply points quite effectively, we see that the enemy cannot reinforce and reduces the number of shelling. This is a major strategy employed by the Defense Forces, crippling the enemy's potential in their rear while they await a direct strike on the front," added the head of the United Coordination Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine.

Natalia Humeniuk also discussed whether the Russians could use the sea route to supply their military resources through the Azov Sea:

"Logistics there are complicated due to the peculiarities of the sea itself, as it is not deep enough for large vessels to pass through. And when it comes to transporting military equipment, they occasionally use large landing ships for that purpose. However, they already have their share of unfortunate experiences with that. They understand that they are not as invincible as they once thought."
