Situation in the Kherson region

Kherson and the right-bank part of the region were liberated from the Russian forces in the fall of 2022. After that, the Russian army began shelling the region daily with aircraft, drones, and artillery.

In the fall of 2023, it became known that Ukrainian soldiers were consolidating on the left bank of the Kherson region, particularly at the bridgehead near the settlement of Krynky.

Currently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to hold the bridgehead in Krynky, and combat operations continue.
