Russian troops, who had attempted to storm [the settlement of] Krynky, which they (the Russians) claimed had been [already] cleared of Ukrainian resistance, were indeed gearing up there. The Russians have similar sites in the temporarily occupied left bank region of Kherson Oblast where they gather for preparations."

Details: Early reports indicated that the command had likely been present there.

Humeniuk stressed that information about the attack's aftermath is still being gathered.

Background:

  • Earlier, DeepState analysts released a video of Ukrainian forces striking Russian troops at a training ground near Podo-Kalynivka (Kherson Oblast) as they were lining up.
  • The Defence Forces of Ukraine's South have also posted a video with a comment: "They say that the command of the Dnepr group of the Russian occupation forces came to the training ground to see how Krynky would be ‘cleared out’... because [Russian Defence Minister Sergei] Shoigu was only saying [that Krynky had been cleared out], with no evidence. We joined the spectacular show. We warned you that you would burn in hell... And we delivered!"
