The Kherson region remains one of the bloodiest battlefields of the war in Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are still holding a stronghold on the eastern bank of the Dnieper River.
Battles are ongoing in the center on the village of Krynki. Ukrainian forces are still capable of transfering reserves across the river, including some heavy vehicles, in order to continue fighting and expand the zone of their control. The main supply road lays across the Frolov island near Krynki. There are reportedly at least two small pontoon crossings across the Konka River. The route is operating despite heavy Russian strikes and artillery shelling.
On the night of November 20, several Ukrainian groups crossed the river and took up positions in the forest area near the settlement. Russian artillery fire, heavy airstrikes and remote mining prevent Ukrainian forces from advance.
