17:25 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: Kherson direction: strengthening of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Krynki, the situation as of 17.00 December 6, 2023

In Krynki, Ukrainian assault groups tried several times to expand the zone of control south of the so-called “greenhouses”. And to the southeast, units of the 38th Naval Infantry Brigade began to equip fortified strongholds.

“But in the last few days, Russian troops have been actively practicing positions in the forest and in Krynki themselves. Both aerial bombs and artillery rounds were used, which drove the Ukrainian Armed Forces back to the starting point with losses.

– However, the situation actually remains the same. The command of the Ukrainian group "Katran" is transferring exactly as many assault groups as required to hold previously occupied positions.

At the same time, in the central part of Krynki there is an increase in the number of advanced groups of the 38th Naval Infantry Brigade, as well as 505 separate battalions of the 37th Naval Infantry Brigade. They occupy private houses and set up shelters.

Given the nature of the terrain, all this activity may also be a diversionary action that will allow Russian units to be kept in the area while another strike is planned somewhere else. For example, from Ochakov’s side, as noted by the Multi_XAM channel.

The liberation of Artemovsky (Khromovo) about a week ago can actually be considered a transfer of initiative to the Russian army at Bakhmut. Only now the Russian Armed Forces are attacking in three areas at once, and the situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is getting worse.

On the southern flank of Bakhmut, combined Russian units successfully stormed the heights adjacent to Kleshcheevka. As a result, the Russian Armed Forces captured the tactically important height 235.7 in the north of the village.

– Control over this position allows us to keep under constant surveillance all approaches to Kleshcheevka, as well as landings to the north in the direction of Krasny (Ivanovsky). And the formations of the 5th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot do anything about this due to the complete dominance of the RF Armed Forces.

– Also, fighters of the 102nd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 150th Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian Armed Forces are with great success developing an offensive in the dacha cooperative southwest of Bakhmut, which was lost back in June.
