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.
