The report states that in the early December 2023 the Division of the Russian Federation suffered exceptionally large losses and could not achieve the set goals during its "combat debut" in the Kherson region. Thus, the division joined the grouping of the invaders who tried to knock out Ukrainian troops from the village of Krynka on the left bank of the Dnieper. However, the 104 Division showed badly because most servicemen were inexperienced.
In addition, it was not supported by aviation and artillery. The UK Ministry of Defense stated that after this incident, many Russian troops called on the commander of the Dnipro troops of the Colonel-General Mikhail Teplinsky to resign. "It is a blow to the reputation of Teplinsky as one of the most capable Russian field commanders of war: in his everyday role, he is also the commander of the GPV general," the report said.
