The Ukrainian army crossed to the left bank of the river in a spectacular operation. But near the city of Krynky she encounters resistance from the Russian army. Why all eyes are now on these battles and why Kiev took this bold step in the first place.
Dnipro is not only more than 2,000 kilometers long. It is also very wide in its lower course, the Dnipro Delta. In the Russo-Ukrainian War, the powerful waterway has until now constituted a natural obstacle, a front line almost impossible to overcome. Ukrainians are on the right bank. On the left bank the Russians. The latest reports of a Ukrainian bridgehead on the Left Bank, East Bank, are even more surprising.
There is another reason why the bridgehead is currently receiving so much attention: during war, the front barely moves. Neither the Ukrainian nor the Russian side are currently making any significant advances. And now this: what is this push? Could there be movement in the stagnant situation from here?
