What is the situation on the left bank of the Kherson region

In the fall of last year, it became known that Ukrainian soldiers were entrenched on the left bank of the Kherson region, in particular on a bridgehead near the settlement of Krynka.

The General Staff explained that the Armed Forces wanted to push the Russian occupiers away from the right bank of the Dnipro. This will reduce the shelling of civilians. Southern Defense Forces Spokeswoman Colonel Nataliya Humenyuk stressed that work on the left bank continues.

Military experts assume that the offensive capabilities of the Russian troops on the left bank of the Kherson region are limited. The reason is the weak preparation and coordination of the invaders.
