Victory in the counterattack in the Ukraine war

Ukraine is said to have defeated the Russian army in the course of a counter-attack. This makes the southbound route more and more accessible.

DUCHY – Over the past few days, there have been increasing reports of the Ukrainian military advancing further south, particularly from the Russian side. The counter-offensive of the Ukraine war, which started rather slowly, has now intensified on the eastern bank of the Dnipro in the Cherson region. Reports from Russian military bloggers on Twitter and Telegram announced attacks on the front lines. The troops are said to have crossed the river, but there are still some obstacles before Cherson.

The front turning point? Ukraine crosses the Dnipro River towards Kherson

According to this, the Ukrainian army is said to be stationed near the Antonivka bridge, northeast of Cherson. The soldiers, who had been there since last weekend, crossed the Dnipro River in speedboats and fired cannons at the Russian soldiers. The remains of the bridge would have been covered. Russian sources said fighting had been going on since Saturday. Officially, the battles and crossing of the Dnipro are not verified, so Institute for War Studies (ISW).

While the river crossing was not confirmed, Ukraine’s successful counteroffensive: “Ukrainian forces have made progress both north and south,” It was said In the Ministry of Defense’s daily intelligence report on the war in Ukraine on June 26 in London. This is also shown by unverified posts on Twitter. They should show the shelling of Dachi village.

Military: Russia redeploys troops in Ukraine war – Crimea to take place

Russia had already begun withdrawing parts of its Dnipro troops from the east bank in recent weeks. According to the British Secret Service, this was to reinforce the front in Zaporizhia and Bagmut. Among them were thousands of soldiers from the 49th Army. By crossing the Dnipro openly, Russia also sees the Crimean peninsula, which it illegally annexed in 2014, at risk. On June 21, the British Ministry of Defense assessed the situation there, where Russia has expanded its defense systems – especially in the area connecting Cherson and Crimea. This shows that Moscow believes that Ukraine is capable of direct strikes. “For Russia, maintaining control of the peninsula remains a key political priority,” it said.

Dnipro in the Ukraine War: The post-river area is said to be swampy and the Konga bridge is cut.

However, the southern route is not so easy. Many Twitter users believe the Russian military has cut the Konga bridge – and will blow it up if Ukraine advances. They have already done this with the Antonivka Bridge, which was badly damaged by the fighting, according to Russian military bloggers. A Twitter user claiming to be from Cherson wrote that the swampy area following the Dnipro would also make it very difficult to continue the march. Although the terrain is impassable, it is not impossible.
