1. The Ukrainian marine corps has launched an offensive in southern Ukraine’s Kherson Oblast, crossing the Dnipro River and securing a bridgehead in the settlement of Krynky on the Russian-dominated left bank.
2. The operation began months before the crossing, involving the use of powerful radio-jammers to create a zone where Russian explosive drones cannot reliably operate, allowing Ukrainian drones to function.
3. A parallel electronic counterair campaign targeted Russian jammers, while Ukrainian forces worked to interdict Russian supply lines into southern Kherson Oblast.
4. Russian logistics on the left bank of the Dnipro are under pressure, with a narrowing logistics corridor that may worsen as winter approaches.
5. Ukrainian marines from the 35th, 36th, and 38th Brigades redeployed to Krynky, and despite potential Russian counterattacks, the Ukrainians controlled the air, preventing successful Russian advances.
6. The Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kherson is expanding and accelerating, with reports of marines crossing the river at new locations.
7. Winter and muddy conditions may affect mechanized battles in other parts of Ukraine, but the marines in Krynky, advancing mostly on foot, could sustain the counteroffensive despite adverse weather conditions.
