Ukrainian troops successfully crossed the river to the village of Kozachi Laheri, taking advantage of weakened Russian defenses in the area, the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War reported on Aug. 9.
“Ukrainian forces appear to have conducted a limited raid across the Dnipro River and landed on the east (left) bank of Kherson Oblast, although it remains unclear whether Ukrainian troops have established an enduring presence on the east bank,” the ISW said.
