The Institute of War Research (ISW) has reported on "large-scale" military operations spearheaded by Ukraine, which are believed to be taking place on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region. The report identifies occurrences of assaults on Russian positions and defensive clashes. Furthermore, it suggests that Russian forces were successfully repelled to a distance of nearly 26 feet.

The Ukrainian Pravda portal published an analysis of the data collected by the ISW. The data points towards more significant operations than usual occurring on the eastern bank of the Dnieper, in the Kherson region. Allegedly, Ukrainian soldiers launched attacks near the towns of Poima and Pishanivka, which are located several miles east of Kherson.

Ukrainian forces push back Russian troops

In recent clashes, Ukrainian forces have reportedly been able to push Russian soldiers back between two to five miles in the region mentioned above. This victory was announced by Natalia Humeniuk, the head of the Joint Press Center of the South Operational Command.

Concurrently, Ukrainian Pravda has relayed Russian reports asserting that Ukrainian forces were blocked from evacuating wounded troops and introducing additional personnel on the eastern bank near Antonovsky Bridge.

Ukrainian positions attacked by Russians

Based on expert analysis, the Russian forces attacked areas occupied by Ukrainians on the eastern coast of the Kherson region on Wednesday, November 15. This activity was indicated by geographical materials obtained a day earlier - showing Russian forces advancing toward Krynek. Russia asserts that Ukrainians had withdrawn from some areas south of Krynek, near the town of Cossacks Lager and Antonovsky Bridge. This information, however, has not been confirmed by the ISW.

According to Ukrainian military observer, Konstantyn Mashovets, Russia is strategizing to oust Ukrainian forces from the Kherson region with the aid of three tactical groups.
