The Ukrainian command does not leave plans for an offensive operation in the Kherson direction, preparations for crossing the Dnieper with the capture of a bridgehead on the left bank continue.
The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to prepare for crossing the Dnieper, last year the Ukrainian command conducted at least three exercises to seize bridgeheads on the left bank of the Dnieper.

It is suggested that some of the boats may be used for a landing operation in the Kherson region.
