American analysts from the Institute for the Study of War believe that the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region is larger than the raids that happened before.
According to the ISW report, geolocation footage indicates the presence of Ukrainian military along the Dnieper coastline and near the Antonovsky Bridge
According to Russian propagandists, on Thursday, October 19, two sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the Ukrainian Marine Brigade crossed the Dnieper, defeated the occupying forces in the area and conquered a bridgehead in the village of Krynki.
Although the Russian infantry allegedly counterattacked and pushed the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the outskirts of the village, the Defense Forces still control some houses in Krynki and are waiting for reinforcements.
Another Russian blogger claims that Ukrainian troops used more manpower in attacks on Krynki than before. Some Russian sources, including the head of the Kherson regional occupation administration Vladimir Saldo, note that Russian troops pushed back Ukrainian forces from the Poyma-Peschanovka-Pidstepnoe area to positions along the Dnieper coast and at the Antonovsky railway bridge. It is added that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to rest and regroup under constant airstrikes and shelling from the occupiers.
