Ukrainian Troops Withdraw from the Right Bank of the Dnepr
Reports say Ukrainian troops are withdrawing from the right bank of the Dnepr near Antonovka, as Russia’s Dnepr grouping strikes Ukrainian forces and equipment in Zaporozhye Region.
Russian sources report that there are no longer any positions on the right bank of the Dnepr where Ukrainian troops can effectively shelter, and that Ukrainian forces are gradually withdrawing from this side of the river.
The Telegram channel Khersonsky Vestnik stated that the enemy is slowly leaving Antonovka and that abandoned troop deployment points are being struck by operators of the 18th Army Corps of the «Dnepr» grouping.
Earlier, Kherson Region governor Vladimir Saldo said Ukrainian units were attempting to move sabotage and reconnaissance groups to the left bank of the Dnepr. He noted that the situation in this sector remained tense, but, according to him, was fully under the control of Russian forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry also reported that units of the «Dnepr» grouping had inflicted losses on personnel and equipment of a Ukrainian mountain assault brigade near the settlements of Dimitrovo and Shcherbaki in Zaporozhye Region. According to that statement, more than 50 Ukrainian servicemen, 15 vehicles, three electronic warfare stations, a RADA RPS-42 radar and two ammunition depots were destroyed.
