Russian terrorist Guzenko "13th" says the Russian company that was pulled from the area of Antonovsky Bridge (where Ukrainians are getting a foothold now) was destroyed by a Ukrainian surprise attack in another location. He says the company lost most of its equipment in the flood and was not prepared for combat. Result: 24 people remained alive from the whole company.

Guzenko's words should be taken with a grain of salt, however.

Pro-Russian propagandist Sasha Kots admits that Russian forces withdrew from Dachi, the small village on the left bank of the Kherson region near the Antonivskyi bridge. Ukrainians have a bridgehead.

"In the last week, enemy activity on the Dnipro in the area of the Antonovskyi bridge has grown abnormally. The intensity of crossings to our shore along the shallowed river has increased manifold. Today we have to state that Ukrainians has entrenched itself on the left bank and is trying to expand the foothold. Our groups from this zone are evacuated with fighting so that they are not cut off from the main forces."

But if we look at the situation realistically, there is still a lot to do. The AFU first has to cover 2.5-3 km to Oleshki, where it sounds logical that Russian troops blow up the bridge over the Konka River. This is the only good access road. The surrounding area is swampy with virtually no access roads. The M17 to Oleshki is a very narrow corridor, making it extremely dangerous to pass for the AFU. Russians will have it's eyes on this corridor with ATGM's, prepared artillery coordinates and aviation. Bringing in heavy equipment brings high risks.

Also Russian channel Two Majors (who initially reported about the Russian withdrawal) gave an update this morning.

"The problem of the enemy landing has not been resolved. Fights are going on, our motorized units are suffering losses in terms of equipment. Dropping a bomb in Voronezh was no problem for RuAF, but responding to requests to bomb the area near the Antonivskyi bridge is an impossible task."
