Russia said Wednesday for the first time that “small groups” of Ukrainian troops had established positions on the Russian-held side of the Dnipro River.
Some Ukrainian soldiers were “blocked” in Krynky, a small village on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, and were facing a “fiery hell” from Russian artillery, rockets and drones, the Moscow-installed head of Ukraine’s Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, said in a post on Telegram.
