Russian troops are increasingly forced to carry ammunition and supplies on foot for more than 10 kilometers to reach frontline positions on the Dnipro axis as Ukrainian forces continue to disrupt Russian logistics.

According to Army TV on July 8, Serhii Serhiiev, spokesperson for Ukraine’s 34th Separate Marine Brigade “Borysfen,” said Russian forces are facing mounting logistical difficulties on the Dnipro axis.
Speaking to Army TV, he said Ukrainian forces have expanded their strike coverage in parts of the Kherson region, making it increasingly difficult for Russian troops to move personnel and supplies to frontline positions.
According to Army TV, Serhiiev said Ukrainian forces have expanded the area under fire control around the settlements of Kostohryzove and Radensk, allowing them to target Russian movements more effectively.
“We have established such strong control that we are expanding our kill zone every day. If you look at the map—Kostohryzove, Radensk—Russian forces can no longer feel safe there. We can reach them everywhere, find them, and destroy them. We can say we have the initiative.”
As a result, Russian troops are reportedly unable to drive vehicles safely to their positions and instead must transport supplies on foot.
“The Russians can no longer reach their positions by vehicle. They have to carry ammunition and supplies themselves and walk 10 to 11 kilometers to reach infantry or artillery positions.”
According to Army TV, Serhiiev said Ukrainian drones maintain continuous surveillance over the area, allowing Ukrainian forces to detect and strike Russian personnel moving toward frontline positions.

He also said Ukraine currently holds the advantage in artillery on this section of the front and that Russian attempts to advance toward the Dnipro River continue to fail. “The occupiers are trying to advance toward the Dnipro River. They are doing a very poor job of it.”
According to Army TV, Serhiiev pointed to the recent capture of four Russian soldiers by Ukrainian forces using drones, saying one of the prisoners had described the difficulty of reaching the river despite repeated Russian assaults.
The reported logistical difficulties follow earlier Ukrainian assessments that sustained strikes on bridges, supply routes, and military infrastructure have significantly disrupted Russian logistics in southern Ukraine and occupied territories.
On July 1, Ukraine’s Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said some Russian infantry units were forced to march up to 30 kilometers on foot to reach frontline positions after key logistics routes were damaged.
