Ukrainian Armed Forces confuse Russians on left bank of Dnipro - Military expert
Ukrainian fighters on the temporarily occupied left bank of the Dnipro are driving Russian invaders off the bridgehead, RBC-Ukraine reported in the material titled "Avdiivka encirclement and resource shortage: What's happening on the frontline ahead of winter."
Ukrainian military in the Tavria direction have moved in a certain quantity to the left bank but are not moving head-on; instead, they are moving along the river. This way, they complicate the task for the Russians, who cannot fully surround the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
"We're pushing them off balance. They don't know why this foothold is there. But it's there to set up pontoon crossings and transport heavy equipment, enabling attacks from this foothold. They can't know where we do that. It's a very smart tactic," explained military expert Oleksii Hetman.
