The report of October 18 states that Ukrainian troops advanced north of Peschanovka (14 km east of Kherson and 3 km from the Dnieper River) and to the Pomp (11 km east of Kherson and 4 km from the Dnieper River) . It is reported that the Russians began to spread information that two Ukrainian assault groups landed on the left bank of the Dnieper and broke through the first line of defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
In the environment of Russian military, there is anxiety that this operation may be part of a larger plan. According to analysts, Russian troops believe that Ukraine wants to "expand the bridgehead" for a larger offensive. The command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation involved more units from the Kherson region to support defense in Zaporizhzhia region.
"It is noteworthy that the prominent and generally reliable Russian sources discuss Ukraine's actions on the eastern coast as more large -scale than previously documented tactical raids of Ukrainian forces across the river," the report reads. We will remind that on October 18 Russian propagandists began to argue that the forces of Ukraine's defense allegedly forced the Dnieper in the Kherson region. Peschans and Poza are important settlements that are located near the bridges.
