According to the Commander-in-Chief, Russian troops continue to try to drive Ukrainian forces out of Krynky on the left bank of the Kherson region.

Situation in Kherson region
Ukrainian troops have been holding a bridgehead on the left bank of the Kherson region near the village of Krynky for several months now. Moreover, the Ukrainian military has even managed to expand it by advancing on the left bank.
All the while, the Russians have been trying to drive the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of there, but they have failed. Just today, April 28, the Russian army, with the support of aviation, attacked Ukrainian positions in the Krynok area three times.
