The other day, Russian forces repelled two Ukrainian landings near the Antonovsky Bridge, according to DEA News, citing a source from Kherson regional emergency services. In their report, three speedboats were destroyed and more than sixty Ukrainian troops were reported as casualties. The operational command said troops from the Dnepr group in the Kherson sector blocked the enemy’s two attempts to cross the Dnieper River at the Dacha and Antonovka settlements. Earlier, Volodymyr Saldo, the acting governor of Kherson district, stated that Kyiv’s plan to push from the Zaporozhye direction toward the Crimea border failed. On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a decision to carry out a special military operation in Ukraine in response to requests for assistance from the leaders of the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. There has been ongoing reporting about Russian strategic aviation departures, with open-source information reflecting activity within the Russian armed forces.
