The beginning of the offensive. The Armed Forces land expanded the gray zone in Kherson region, whether there will be active fighting

Two brigades of the Marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were landed on the left bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson region. The military advanced north of Peschanovka and Pommy, stated in the report of the American Institute for the Study of War. The first settlement is located 14 kilometers east of Kherson and 3 kilometers from the Dnieper River, and the second - 11 kilometers east of Kherson and 4 kilometers from the Dnieper.

Russian invaders control only the southern part of the sand, and the pole is completely released, analysts say. "Sources in Russia are concerned about the continuing activity of the Armed Forces on the eastern bank of the Kherson region and consider it part of a greater offensive operation . . . The actions of the Ukrainian forces on the eastern bank of the Dnieper are more large -scale than previously known tactical raids," experts emphasized.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces in the morning summary on October 19 indirectly confirmed the success of the Ukrainian forces on the left bank of the Dnieper. The PCS of the Russian Federation was struck near Novoberryslav, Kozatsky, Olgivka, Prydniprovsky and Peschanovka of Kherson region.

The landing of the Armed Forces in the area of ​​the villages of Podstropke and Pozma can be both a preparation of the bridgehead for the offensive and a checking raid attack, says the focus of the Colonel of the Armed Forces in stock, military instructor Roman Svitan. "Everything will depend on the development of events, may be controlled by another [already railway] bridge in the Kherson region.

If the General Staff set the task of expanding the bridgehead from the Antonov Bridge to the Railway, it will be possible to talk about the onset of the offensive," the expert explained. Svitan doubts about the Russian side's statements about allegedly large losses among paratroopers thanks to the work of Iskander. The battle part of the missile of 500 kilograms will not cover the infantry, it is required for spot traits into objects.

In the Armed Forces on the left bank of the Dnieper there is no such powerful fortress, he said. The Armed Forces raids on the temporarily occupied territories of the south were allowed to create a gray area that is constantly expanding. It is no longer controlled by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but only fired, says the focus a military expert, coordinator of the group "Information resistance" Alexander Kovalenko.

"After the liberation of the Right Bank of the Kherson region, almost immediately the landing of the landing and performing the functionality of the DRG on the Left Bank began. Throughout the front line, this happens in Zaporizhzhia, Lugansk and Donetsk. Even in Crimea we recently observed landing of the landing, but there is no expansion. " , - the specialist said. The gray zone is literally over the city of Oleshka.

The Russians see that it threatens their logistics on the route 2206, M14 and E97, explained Kovalenko. "It is quite interesting to promote the gray zone. However, it is too early to talk about the establishment of the bridgehead. But if the small DRGs solve the task of military level, it will be unique," he summed up. Russian military warriors also wrote about the breakthrough of the Armed Forces on the above area.

On October 18, the Ukrainian military forced the Dnieper near the Antonov Railway Bridge on October 18, east of Oleshok near the road towards Nova Kakhovka. According to them, the Russian army was in response to massive blows by aviation and Iskander. And the collaborator Vladimir Saldo wrote about "severe defeat" from the soldiers of the Dnipro troops.

"In the area of ​​the villages of Podtropne and the Poza of the Kherson region, the activity of four sabotage and intelligence groups was stopped. Their remains were invited to evacuate and retreat to the Dnieper along the Antonov Railway Bridge," he said. It is noteworthy that the successes of the Ukrainian military in the Kherson direction were paid attention to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a visit to China. According to him, the counter -offensive was long announced and expected.

"There is no result yet. There is no result, there is no result. Just as it was in Zaporizhzhya, in other areas," Putin said. The focus earlier wrote about the landing of small sabotage intelligence of the Armed Forces on the left bank of the Dnieper north of the sub -steppe and on the Cossack island. At that time, Russian military groups reported that the Ukrainian military was preparing a bridgehead and waiting for a convenient moment to strike.
