In the Kherson region, due to the freezing of the Dnieper River, it is difficult for Ukrainian defenders to cross to the left bank.
Now The Ukrainian Armed Forces now have two new problems: the frozen Dnieper and kamikaze droneswith which the enemy is already striking at the positions of Ukrainian defenders.
Today, January 18, analysts from Institute for the Study of War presented detailed information on the situation in the Kherson region.
Now it is difficult for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to reach the left bank of the Kherson region due to the freezing of the Dnieper and Konka rivers. The enemy also began to more actively use kamikaze drones against the forward positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This first became known at the end of December 2023. However, now such attacks have become more frequent.
At the same time, Russian military officers claim that attacks are being carried out on Ukrainian military facilities in the rear on the territory of the Kirovograd, Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov regions.
Regarding the situation in the Krynok area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces maintain their positions. Positional battles take place every day, but the front line has not yet changed.
Z-channels write that the occupiers from the 8th company of the 810th marine brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet hoisted the Russian flag in the center of Krynok. However, analysts from ISW did not find any visual confirmation of this.
At the same time, Russian military correspondents also claim that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were forced to leave all the islands in the Dnieper delta due to the freezing of the river itself. Now this territory is a gray zone. The enemy had already tried to land on one of the islands, but the artillery of the Ukrainian Armed Forces defeated the entire enemy group.
In the Dnieper delta and in the area of the Cossack Camps, occupiers from the 205th motorized brigade are operating.
We previously reported that during two months of fighting in the Krynok area, the occupiers created a new line of defense on the M14 highway.
Meanwhile, the occupiers are complaining that the command again threw them into a “meat assault” in the Krynok area.
