APU landed on the left bank of the Dnieper

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have been carrying out landing operations on the Dnieper since the evening and are still trying to create a solid foothold on the left bank of the river near the Antonovsky bridge. Russian troops are resisting.

On the left bank of the Dnieper, near the blown up Antonovsky bridge near Kherson. A foothold of the Armed Forces appeared. This is reported by Russian Telegram channels. According to them, the Ukrainian detachments again entrenched themselves in the area of ​​​​dachas – approximately where their presence was first mentioned back in April.

Moreover, even then there were different assessments of whether to consider this a full-fledged springboard. Western military experts answered this question in the negative. And since then, nothing has been reported about the advancement of the forces clinging to the shore.

Now, as the military publics of the Russian Federation write, after the Dnieper has entered its usual course, the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have appeared in the dacha area again. They move there in speed boats and receive reinforcements from the right bank.

At the moment, fierce fighting is underway, in which the Russians are trying to destroy the Ukrainian groups that managed to land. And the Ukrainians want to stay in the area and be able to expand the foothold they have created so that other, larger Ukrainian groups can move forward.

There are reports of military clashes between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Russian forces. There is a Ukrainian group of about 50 people on the left bank, and electronic warfare systems deployed to the left bank interfere with correcting attacks on them. From shelling, the group is reportedly hiding under the remains of Antonovsky bridge.

Russian military publics show videos of boats moving along the river and firing at them from armored personnel carriers. The situation is not entirely clear. The Russians claim they are holding their ground but have not been able to eliminate the Ukrainian foothold. And until they succeed, Kyiv will continue to transfer new forces until it succeeds in establishing a permanent presence on the left bank. If that happens, Moscow will be in serious trouble, as the Ukrainians will be able to move even more soldiers and military equipment, and create a force capable of threatening Crimea.

The Russians were in serious trouble with the collapse of the Kakhovka dam, as the flood destroyed the very good defense lines they had built along the river and had been preparing for it for nine months. In addition, the Wagner rebellion and the subsequent exile of E. Prigozhin to Belarus, of course, had an impact on the morale of the Russian troops.

The Ukrainians tried to interrupt the supply of Russian troops for four days. According to military analysts, they are planning a diversionary offensive on the Kherson front and, in this context, launched rocket attacks on bridges in Crimea. Their goal is to create problems in the supply of Russian troops with equipment, personnel and ammunition from the Crimea to Kherson and Zaporozhye.
