Ministry of Defense: Russia gets rest for possible military action in Crimea

This was reported by the Ukrainian State Border Service's Telegram channel.

According to the information provided by the Defence Ministry, the Russian occupying military are actively reinforcing territories in the northern, western and eastern parts of Crimea in order to prepare for a possible offensive.

In addition, there is evidence of reinforcement of the defence of the Crimean isthmus.

In the waters of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, the Russian Armed Forces are focusing on securing their ships and fleet bases to prevent attacks.

At the same time, the General Staff reported that the occupiers had conducted an unsuccessful offensive on four fronts. Russian troops on Saturday, July 8, conducted unsuccessful offensives in the Liman, Avdiivka, Maryinka and Shakhtar directions, with more than 25 combat incidents in total.

In addition, 34 air raids and 42 rocket launches by the enemy were recorded. One of these attacks resulted in eight civilian deaths and 13 injuries in the town of Liman. It should be noted that the likelihood of rocket and air attacks across Ukraine remains high.
