The Russian military complains about problems with command and coordination between units, which impair the combat capability of the aggressor's troops on the eastern (left) bank of the Kherson region, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Russian military bloggers report that near Krynky, Russian troops are unable to target Ukrainian planes and helicopters because Russian commanders do not give them timely permission to shoot down targets.
In addition, Russian commanders take several hours to approve artillery strikes and require units to send target coordinates and video or photo evidence of targets before approving strikes.
Also, Russian forces do not have enough electronic warfare (EW) systems to combat the number of Ukrainian drones operating in the area.
Another military blogger called on Russian troops to stop moving equipment into the Krynky area and surrounding areas, as Ukrainian forces destroy up to 90 percent of Russian equipment there.
However, ISW experts believe that these reports of tactical problems do not always lead to serious operational consequences.
Situation on the left bank of the Kherson region
At the end of November, the Ukrainian military conducted a series of successful actions on the left bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region. The Defense Forces managed to gain a foothold in several footholds.
Ukrainian troops on the left bank of the Kherson region have developed appropriate tactics that keep the occupiers on their toes. As a result, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' bridgehead in this area of the frontline seriously complicates the enemy's fight.
The spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces, Natalia Humeniuk, noted that the Ukrainian military on the left bank of the Dnipro River had an advantage in motivation.
