Russians accumulate watercraft near Kherson

Occupation troops are concentrating watercraft near Kherson.

This is evidenced by satellite images of backwater No. 5, where there are significantly more watercraft in two weeks.

The pictures were posted by Twitter user David Helms.

The photos for October 16 show a maximum of two watercraft in the territory of backwater No. 5, and already on November 5 there is a significant accumulation.

There are also clearer pictures of backwater No. 5, where more than 20 different ships and floating cranes are visible.

This picture was taken on November 4, it was published by user NLwartracker.

Nice find! here's some nice imagery, where you can see Russians have assembled a flotilla of more then 20 ships and floating cranes, possible for evacuating or just stealing them… thanks @davidhelms570 #OSINT #Kherson https://t.co/DTK1vvw2x0 pic.twitter.com/6XkvNKmT7N

It should be noted that these may be vessels that the occupiers used to transport weapons and their personnel across the Dnieper after the Ukrainian military hit land routes.

The reasons for accumulation of these watercraft in one place is unknown.

At the same time, collaborator and traitor Kirill Stremousov said that November 7 is the last day of evacuation of the local population from occupied Kherson.

Afterwards, according to Stremousov, people should evacuate on their own.

It should be reminded that in the morning summary the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the invaders were preparing Kherson for street hostilities.

The Russian military changed into civilian clothes, occupied the premises of civilians and strengthened these positions for street hostilities.

The arrival of Russian propagandists who plan to shoot stories about the alleged shelling of the city by Ukrainian forces is also recorded.

The day before, information appeared that the invaders were forcibly deporting people living in the Kakhovsky district on the left bank of the Dnieper.

The “evacuation” zone was declared in a 15-kilometer zone.

The invaders are being settled in the homes of illegally exported citizens of Ukraine. At the same time, the Russian military uses civilian clothes, continuing to rob and terrorize the local population.

Earlier, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that in the Kherson region the enemy massively destroys private boats on the banks of the Dnieper.

At the same time, the invaders take the engines and other property from the watercraft.
