The Russian forces have stopped Kiev’s troops from crossing the Dnieper River in the Kherson region and shot down one of the two Su-25 strike fighters providing air cover for the Ukrainian landing operation, RIA Novosti reported on Monday, citing a source “familiar with the situation.”
“Another attempted … landing operation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has failed " the source told the news agency, adding that Kiev’s troops sought to cross the river near the village of Babino, some 124 kilometers away from the strategic town of Novaya Kakhovka, which had a dam on Dnieper that also served as a bridge before being seriously damaged in the Ukrainian strikes.
