The enemy is trying to cross the Dnipro straits because they cannot enter the waters of the great Dnipro. The Defense Forces of Ukraine control the island system, almost all the islands in this area. They are under the control of the Defense Forces of Ukraine
He noted that the enemy is trying to force a crossing and seize a certain bridgehead.
In particular, in the southern part, where there are islands such as Nestryha, Kozulyskyi, Buhas, Zabych. The enemy is also trying to storm our positions near the Antonivskyi Bridge, as it is the narrowest point of the Dnipro. The width there is literally from 1000 to 1200 m. The enemy wants to take control of the left bank of this bridge in order to also carry out crossings to the right bank. However, the Defense Forces control the entire zone and destroy the enemy at the very beginning of their attempts to cross the Dnipro
