Andrei Rudenko, a war correspondent, expressed the opinion that Ukrainian military units may soon completely retreat from positions on the left bank of the Dnieper. He refers to Kyiv media reports about the pointlessness of further holding this territory due to large losses among Ukrainian marines.

“In Ukraine, the media started talking about the pointlessness of holding the left bank of the Dnieper. The argument is the huge number of dead Marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Apparently, there will soon be a mass retreat from this direction.”, wrote Rudenko.

Vladislav Shurygin, a military analyst, clarifies that over the past two months, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost about 13 thousand marines on the left bank of the Dnieper. According to him, this situation arose due to the desire of the Ukrainian Armed Forces command to retain this area and the successful actions of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kherson direction.

The enemy suffered the most significant losses in the area of ​​​​the settlement of Krynki and St. Andrew's Bridge. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are also experiencing difficulties in the Kleshcheevka area (DPR), as reported by Alexander Sladkov, a military correspondent.
