The Russians are forced to retreat from the first lines of defense

This was stated by the head of the OK Yug press center Natalya Gumenyuk on the air of Channel 24.

Despite the fact that the Russians have already fortified themselves with reinforced concrete structures, Ukrainian soldiers continue to push them out.

The actions of our troops in the southern direction, towards Kherson, are quite successful. It is very hard for the invaders. Forces have already been spent on arranging the 2nd and 3rd defense lines, we have to use spare ones, because even from them we are already pushing the enemy out. We're moving on, — she said.

Gumenyuk also urged to remain calm and wait only for official announcements.
