In order to mislead Ukraine’s Defense Forces, Russian troops are maneuvering, redeploying convoys near the Kherson region’s Nova Kakhovka and Crimea’s Armiansk. These actions cause dissatisfaction among the Russian military. The main reason is the lack of fuel stocks and the fact that such maneuvers do not prove to be effective.
