Details: Geolocation footage released on October 19 shows that Ukrainian forces have advanced to northeastern Krynki (27 km east of the city of Kherson and 2 km from the Dnieper River).
Russian military bloggers claimed that Ukrainian troops were gaining a foothold near Krynoki and continued to maintain their presence near the Antonovskoe highway and railway bridges. A prominent Russian military blogger claimed that Ukrainian troops temporarily advanced further into Krynki as far as the Cossack Camps-Krynki-Korsunka road before Russian airstrikes pushed Ukrainian troops back to the northern outskirts of the village.
Another Russian military blogger claimed that fighting was ongoing near Peschanivka (14 km east of Kherson and 4 km from the Dnieper), and a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group was operating on the southern outskirts of the village.
A prominent Russian military blogger suggested that as of the afternoon of October 18, Russian forces were only holding positions on the southern outskirts of Peschanivka, and the Ukrainian General Staff reported on October 19 that Russian aircraft had struck Peschanivka, implying that Ukrainian forces were still operating in the populated area. point.
However, ISW did not observe any other visual evidence that Ukrainian forces were holding any positions in populated areas on the eastern bank of the Kherson region other than Krynki.
