The situation in Krynky

Russian troops tried to change their tactics on the left bank of the Dnipro near the village of Krynki in the Kherson region.

The day before, the South's defence forces reported that on the left bank of the Dnipro in the Kherson region, the enemy had become more active, increasing the number of daily assault groups to 16.

Having suffered losses, [the Russians] habitually retreated.

Over the past day, 228 reconnaissance drones have been recorded flying in the operational area, and in recent days, their number has increased by almost 20%.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, also announced the day before that the Russian troops are trying to dislodge the Ukrainian troops from the bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Krynyk district of the Kherson region.

He emphasized that the Russians are not successful in these directions.

According to Natalia Gumenyuk, former head of the United Press Center "Odesa," the Ukrainian military can expand the bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnipro in the Kherson region, but additional EW is needed.

Humenyuk, answering the question whether the Ukrainian military can expand the bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnipro in the Kherson region, noted that the Ukrainian military has a sufficient number of weapons in this direction. Still, the key is the ability to defend.

In particular, she emphasised that the Ukrainian military in the Kherson region needs additional EW systems to protect against drone attacks by the occupation army of the Russian Federation.

Because it is very difficult to maintain a bridgehead in conditions where drones are actually being attacked from the air, she explains.

Kavoli described the situation in the Belgorod region

According to the general, as of today, significant forces hold a considerable — albeit reduced, but still significant — portion of territory in the Kursk region of Russia.

And they (the Armed Forces of Ukraine — ed.) hold very advantageous defensive positions further south, in the Belgorod region... The Ukrainians launched a small counteroffensive on Russian territory (in the Belgorod region) a few weeks ago. So the confrontation is still ongoing in this area with varying success.
