On Monday, a top military official from the Pentagon reaffirmed that Ukraine is not constructing a “dirty bomb.”
Additionally, he stated that there is “still no sign” that Russia has chosen to use chemical or nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
And that there is a series of communications that take place between officials of the Ministry of Defense, Russian and allies and partners.
Additionally, the American official discussed the situation on the ground and emphasised that Russia was using Iranian marches in its assault while also hitting infrastructure, including the electricity network in Ukrina.
And that the Russians, in the general, are building defensive lines, including exhuming trenches, and there are movements and transportation of units of Russian forces, noting that the Russians have a real problem in managing a wide battle in Ukraine and in providing training and equipment for soldiers.
The Namas system will be sent to the Ukrainians in two weeks, the US official revealed.
He also stressed that the Ukrainians are making progress in the Kharkiv region and carrying out an attack on three axes of Jiusson.
It is noteworthy because Keybuson is the first significant Ukrainian city to have fallen into Russian hands since the conflict began on February 24, which gave Moscow a big morale boost.
It is also one of the four districts that the Kremlin stated it would annex to Russia in late September 2022, thus Ukrainian authority over it will be a humiliating blow to the Russian army’s reputation.
In addition, this region has a special importance, as it includes the Kakhovka Station to generate electricity, and the Antonovsky Bridge, which connects the city to the southern West Bank to the Dnieber River and the rest of the Jeresson region.
Jiusson’s location on the boundary of the Dniprobroprovsk and Nicolaiv areas, along with its land borders with Crimea in the south and views of both the Black Sea and the Azov Sea in the southeast, is also strategically significant.
