The Ukrainian military continues to take measures to expand the bridgehead in the Kherson region, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"In the area of responsibility of the Odesa Operational Strategic Group of troops in the Kherson direction, the Defense Forces continue to expand the bridgehead. Despite significant losses, the enemy does not abandon attempts to drive our units from their positions," the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine says in a statement.

Russian troops carried out nine unsuccessful assault operations in this area yesterday.

Back in November 2023, it became known that Ukrainian defenders managed to gain a foothold on the left bank of the Kherson region. They hold the bridgehead and do not allow the Russian occupiers to drive them out, despite constant attempts by the enemy to assault them.

The spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces, Natalia Humeniuk, recently emphasized that the Ukrainian military on the left bank of the Dnipro River had an advantage in motivation.

Later, she emphasized that Ukrainian defenders were trying to expand the bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnipro. At the same time, the Russian occupiers are attacking the Ukrainian Armed Forces with drones.
