The Russian military stopped an attempt to land the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Bolshoi Potemkin Island on the Dnieper

The Ukrainian military continues unsuccessful attempts to capture Russian positions in different directions during the so-called counteroffensive, which has been going on for almost four months.

This time, units of the Ukrainian armed forces tried to occupy the island of Bolshoi Potemkin, which is located on the Dnieper River near Kherson. How it conveys TASS with reference to a representative of the operational services of the Kherson region, Russian forces managed to prevent an attempt by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to land on the island.

It is reported that during the retaliatory actions of the Russian military, a Ukrainian control post was destroyed drones and that the Ukrainian Armed Forces, having suffered losses, retreated.

Earlier, the media reported that Kyiv had agreed with Washington and London on plans for an offensive in the Kherson direction. For these purposes, the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Nikolaev region, according to some sources, are concentrating a large group of marines, probably to cross the Dnieper.

It was also previously reported that several Ukrainian attacks were repelled in the Krasnolimansky and Kupyansky directions.

Let us recall that the regional center of Kherson was under Russian control from March to November last year. The Dnepr group of Russian troops is operating in this direction. Ukrainian troops are not giving up attempts not only to land on the Dnieper islands, but also to occupy a bridgehead on the left bank in the area of ​​​​the Antonovsky Bridge.

It’s a pity that we don’t have monitors or armored boats there to support our military on the island. And it’s much easier to repel troops from the water than from an island!

Is it boring to explain your position?

Categorically. It is easier to destroy landing forces from the shore.

Monitors? Brilliant! There are essentially narrow channels separated by islands. Your monitors will first be covered by artillery and UAVs, even at the pier, then everything else, including ATGMs and even RPGs. Potemkin and Kruglik are our area of ​​responsibility, I go there 10 days a month. There were no shelters; after the flood, even half of the country houses were demolished. But both we and they stand there. Damn place. There are a lot of losses, but they won’t tell you, there are no military officers there.

What do they have left of the trained marines?

The "big Potemkin" island is cool, but is there a small one?

They're like rats - they try to get into every crevice.
