Ukrainian forces withdrew from a strategic position south of the Dnipro River that they held for months, upending military aims to press ahead against Russian forces with a counteroffensive toward the Crimean peninsula.
Kyiv’s troops retreated from the village of Krynky on the left bank of the Dnipro in the southern Kherson region, the DeepState map service said in statement on Telegram Thursday. The service, which is maintained in cooperation with Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, said military engagements continued on nearby islands.
