Ukrainian Marines have established positions on the Russian-occupied eastern bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region and are advancing further into Russian-held territory across several sectors, according to a senior Ukrainian military officer.
According to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s Crimea.Realities on November 7, Colonel Alim Kerimov, chief of staff of Ukraine’s 34th Separate Marine Brigade, confirmed that Ukrainian forces are maintaining multiple positions on the eastern bank while conducting assaults against Russian defensive positions.
Sounds like great news and I hope this is true. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Rivers are very difficult obstacles to cross on an offensive.
That’s quite an accomplishment!
RFU had a video about this particular offensive recently.
Aside from the widely lauded midrange anti-logistics campaign, the AFU softened up the Russian forces across the river by dropping ground drones, combined with misinformation in the Russian military situation reporting.
It’ll still be difficult for the AFU to hold onto these gains when the Russians get their act together, because there are few natural fortifications.
That report is talking about a different river, not the Dnipro (which is huge).
If they get their act together. Recently their front is a complete chaos
Fuck yeah baby.
Slava Ukraini!
