Raising the Ukrainian flag in Krynki on the left bank of the Dnieper is an important response to enemy propaganda and a signal to the local population. This was stated by the speaker of the OK "South" Natalya Gumenyuk.
“Indeed, raising the flag was a sign that no one knocked us out of there, despite the loud statements of Russian publics. It is also a powerful signal for the local population that we continue to fight for bridgeheads in a greater sense in order to gain a stronger foothold and be able to move forward ", she explained on Channel 24.
Speaking about the situation on the left bank of the Dnieper, Gumenyuk emphasized that Ukrainian defense is complicated by the territories. While the Russians have dry land behind them, where the enemy has built defensive structures, behind the Ukrainian defenders is the Dnieper River. But despite this advantage, the enemy is limited in the use of equipment during assaults.
“We can testify that the classic tactics of carrying out such assault operations involve supporting ground units with the help of armored vehicles. But losing them in incredible quantities in the first assaults, the military command of the Dnepr group, which is located on the left bank on the Russian side, stopped using armored vehicles. So. “, they believe in the Defense Forces that when we bring our armored vehicles there, the enemy will also need them for a worthy counteraction,” the speaker stated.
