Again in November 2022, Russian troops, fearing that Ukraine defenders would flood the southern Kherson Oblast by blasting the Kakhovka Dam, retreated to the left (south) margin of the nice river Dnieper, lest it’s troops could be caught between the flood and the attacking Ukrainian troops.
This second of the struggle was lauded as an important victory for Kiev, however in time the choice of retreating was vindicated, as Ukrainians did certainly blast the dam and flood the valley – however by then Russian troops have been principally protected on the left financial institution.
The river marks have since develop into the boundary between the troops, till the Ukrainians, through the summer time ’23 offensive, have been capable of cross the river and carve a small bridgehead on the left margin, within the village of Krynky.
As a result of Kiev couldn’t construct upon it and develop, the village had no strategic objective and served as a mere badge of honor for Ukrainians, a promise of nice issues to come back.
Because the outgunned, outmanned and outmaneuvered Ukrainian defenders begin to give in to the ever stronger Russian attackers, apart from the conquest of Avdeevka and successes on the Donbas, Russian Protection Minister Sergei Shoigu introduced the securing of the Krynky bridgehead.
Sputnik reported:
“’All of the clearance has been accomplished [in Krynky],” [Shoigu] mentioned, including that Ukraine had 4 marine corps brigades there.”
