13:30 Frontline reports: in the Kupyansky direction, the RF Armed Forces advanced north-west of Orlyanskoye.
13:00 NGP exploration reports: according to the situation in the Kherson direction
The tense situation remains in the Krynok area.
The enemy continues to cling to the populated area, despite the known difficulties, he retains the ability to rotate personnel, replenish ammunition supplies and provisions on the left bank, all enemy activities are based on the islands.
It may seem to some that forces entrenched in the territory of one locality are not something worth paying attention to, but in fact this is not the case.
Even a small enemy unit trying to create a bridgehead is a factor of tension and forces the involvement of certain forces to control the situation, which in itself necessitates the liquidation of the enclave.
Moreover, there is currently a concentration of enemy infantry on the right bank of the Dnieper, in the areas of Ivanovka, Lvovo, and Olgovka.
It is not difficult to predict the enemy’s intentions; these settlements are located in the same area; when crossing the Dnieper, even with limited forces, the enemy may try to cut off the roads leading to Krynki from the west and east and significantly expand the occupied bridgehead.
With all this, such plans are quite a risky gamble, since the enemy relies on FPV drones and electronic warfare systems installed on the islands; if these objects are destroyed, the Ukrainian Armed Forces units located on the left bank will largely lose their shield and will be pressed to the shore by superior forces of the Russian Armed Forces .
A few cast iron bombs can multiply the entire epic with the landing counter-grunt by zero.
