This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine is expanding its bridgehead along the left bank of the Dnipro river, putting Russian defense forces under pressure.
Ukrainian Marines are leading the charge, and are digging into at least four sites along the river’s east bank along a stretch of territory about 19-22 miles long, the Kyiv Post reported.
The bridgeheads are not believed to be connected, but Ukrainian forces are expanding them, British newspaper The Telegraph reported.
Ukraine’s advance will likely be slow as the terrain around the bridgeheads is wet, marshy, and heavily wooded, according to the paper.
“The Russians are throwing everything they have at us: artillery, attack drones, phosphorus,” an army sergeant with the call sign Vozhd, told AFP.
The Ukrainian plan to push toward Krynky began several months ago and involved electronic warfare measures to counter Russian drones, operations to disrupt Russian supply lines, and riverine attacks under the cover of helicopter crews, Forbes reported.
