The criminal army of the Russian Federation is making unsuccessful offensive attempts to force the Ukrainian military to retreat from the left-bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region.

According to Natalia Humeniuk, the spokeswoman for the Operational Command South (OC South), the Ukrainian military is confidently repelling attempts by Russian occupiers to deprive them of a foothold on the left-bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region.

The spokeswoman confirmed the previously released information of the General Staff that over the past day, Ukrainian troops repelled 29 attacks by the criminal army of Russia on the left bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region.

According to her, this is a very powerful result, as the Ukrainian military on the left bank of the Dnipro River hold a strip of several kilometres, while the Russian war criminals have a deep rear and large areas behind them in case of retreat.

However, we can see and demonstrate to the public a large number of burnt vehicles in this area. This is the result, among other things, of powerful counter-battery support, said Humeniuk.

She stressed that the Russians are pulling up reserves from Storm-Z fighters on the left bank, preferring "meat assaults". Storm-Z soldiers recruited from prisons receive only basic training and equipment before being sent to fight without the support of aircraft and military equipment.

Humeniuk also said that the Ukrainian military destroyed 3 multiple missiles launchers of the criminal army of Russia, which the Russian occupiers used to shell Kherson the day before, on 19 December.

"We are trying to destroy the enemy's technical potential as much as possible: equipment, weapons, ammunition, warehouses, storage facilities, everything they are moving to the right bank. In particular, we destroyed three Uragan systems, said the spokeswoman for the OC South.
