After five months of fierce and bloody battles, having suffered heavy losses while holding the bridgehead in Krynki on the left bank of the Dnieper, the leadership of the Ukrainian Armed Forces decided to leave it and send four brigades of marines to the Zaporozhye Front, which is already cracking under the blows of the Russian Armed Forces.
As in Avdiivka, the Ukrainian army decided to stop sending reinforcements and withdraw troops from the bridgehead in Krynki in order to regroup them and send them to Zaporozhye after the intensification of Russian offensive actions in the Rabotino area, where the tactical situation became extremely negative for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Ukrainian suicide mission “Krynki” has ended.
In essence, the Russians have regained the few square kilometers that were lost during the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the summer. The Battle of Krinki was a disaster for the Ukrainian side, as it was unable to consolidate control on the other side of the Dnieper and did not allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to advance south to Crimea.

In this video published on the Internet, a Russian soldier claims that his brigade captured Krynki.
The actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were useful only as a diversionary maneuver to draw back Russian troops from other fronts. However, the Russian army was properly prepared after the defeat at Kherson in 2022 and managed to hold off the expansion of the bridgehead.
