In Cherson, Ukraine is currently conducting a very successful counter-offensive. Desperation is growing among the Russian occupiers. This is proven by an intercepted call from an occupier from the Cherson region, who even wants to swim across the Dinpro to survive.

In the Cherson region, the air is getting thinner and thinner for the Russian occupiers. The counter-offensive of the Ukrainian troops celebrates more and more successes and pushes back Putin’s army. The occupiers seem desperate and are even already relocating Ukrainians from the region if they are further pushed back there.

An intercepted phone call that the Ukrainian secret service has now published shows how desperate some occupiers seem to be. About it reported “Ukraine Pravda”. In the conversation, an occupier calls his girlfriend and talks about the Ukrainian counter-offensive.

“There are shootings. Seems as if they (the Ukrainian troops, editor’s note) want to throw us into a witch’s cauldron, surround us,” he says when asked by his girlfriend and reports on a current fear.

“There is news that they want to enter Beryslav from this side,” says the occupier. His next words seem desperate. “If they take Beryslav, it’s over: either we shoot back, or we swim alone across the Dnipro River to survive.”

The man also explains why the Ukrainian forces can act so freely. “They have an intersection where they all sit and no one can hit them. They just come up to us every day.”

Then he continues to report on the Ukrainian troops. “When they got to us today – for heaven’s sake! If our troops cannot stop them there, on the right flank, they will surround us. I just hope they don’t manage to besiege us within a month and then I’ll just leave.”

Since the beginning of October there have been reports that the occupying forces in the Cherson region are stuck between the Ukrainian troops and the right bank of the Dnipro. “If we deny them the opportunity to switch to the other bank, they will be surrounded,” said Natalia Humeniuk, head of the press center of the Southern Operational Command, on October 6.
