Ukraine gains foothold on Dnipro’s left bank in Kherson Oblast, confirms Deputy DM
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have successfullycompleted an operation on the left bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson Oblast, DeputyDefense Minister Hanna Malyar confirmed on Aug. 14.
“Certain tasks
were performed by certain units there (on the left bank),” she said.
“Of course, we
cannot reveal what exactly was done, but they coped with these tasks.”
The Ukrainian
military still has to oust the Russian invaders and clear the territory to gain
a foothold across the river, Malyar added.
Ukrainian troops
successfully crossed the river to the village of Kozachi Laheri, taking
advantage of weakened Russian defenses in the area, the U.S.-based Institute
for the Study of War reported on Aug. 9.
“Ukrainian forces
appear to have conducted a limited raid across the Dnipro River and landed on
the east (left) bank of Kherson Oblast, although it remains unclear whether
Ukrainian troops have established an enduring presence on the east bank,” the
ISW said.
Ukraine’s General
Staff has not confirmed this information.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
