Situation in the Krynky area of the Kherson region

The village of Krynky in the Kherson region is located on the left bank of the Dnipro River, on a territory currently under temporary occupation by Russian forces. Russia seized this area during its large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In mid-October, it became known from a report by the Institute for the Study of War dated October 19th that Ukrainian forces had made advancements to the northeast of Krynky in the Kherson region.

Later, on October 21st, analysts reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) were conducting larger-than-usual ground operations on the left bank of the Kherson region. Specifically, Ukrainian soldiers were engaged in combat in the village of Krynky. Meanwhile, Russian forces were attempting to hinder UAF's efforts to establish a presence in Krynky on the left bank of the Kherson region and establish supply routes in that area.
