What happened could open up opportunities for Ukrainian forces to begin operating on the eastern bank.

Analysts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) commented on the video, which was published yesterday, December 3, by the Carlson air intelligence special unit. On it, defenders of Ukraine raised the flag of our country on the left bank of the Dnieper opposite Kherson.

Thus, Ukrainian servicemen crossed the Dnipro River in boats, reached a wooden structure similar to a wharf on the eastern bank, and raised the Ukrainian flag on a tower near the shore. As noted in a new ISW report, what happened could open up opportunities for Ukrainian forces to begin operating on the east bank.

“The observed Russian fortifications on the left bank indicate that Russian forces are expecting offensive actions by Ukraine on the east bank and are building defensive lines south of the Dnipro River. The creation of positions along the east bank of the river will most likely create conditions for future Ukrainian offensive operations troops in the occupied Kherson region, if the Ukrainian troops decide to continue the offensive in this direction in the south,” the experts noted.

In the “Karlson” special unit, the video in which the flag of our country appeared on the left bank for the first time since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine was commented as follows:

“This flag was raised by the fighters of the special unit “Karlson” – it will become a bridgehead for the de-occupation of the left bank of the Kherson region! The operation ended successfully, and all thanks to the precise coordination and offensive skills of the guys.”

The situation in the Kherson region: the latest news from the front

On November 11, it became known that defenders of Ukraine entered Kherson, which has been occupied by Russia since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. The Rashists fled from the right bank. However, they inflict mean blows on liberated Kherson and the region.

Despite enemy “arrivals” and the risk of shelling, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov arrived in the liberated Chornobayivka of the Kherson region on December 3. He showed the remains of the international airport where the Russian occupiers were based. In addition, Reznikov noted that the Rashists, wishing to seize Kherson, will receive only the first three letters of the name of this city.
