After Kots, also Romanov confirms the Ukrainian presence. "The enemy controls the Dacha's near Oleshki. Yesterday a company (second image) was sent to assault them but this attempt, to put it mildly, failed. The shores near Hola Prystan went further into the gray zone."

Russians launched a counterattack from Oleshky against the Ukrainian bridge head at the destroyed Antonovsky Bridge, but a remotely placed mine eliminated the BMD-2 almost immediately after the Russin IFV crossed the Konka Bridge.

Interesting report from Sky (you’ll have to go to the original article to see the tweets they reference).
She suggests we might learn more when Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko conducts his Q&A with journalists later today.
As always, Mr Putin's remarks have been picked through by every journalist and commentator that focuses on this conflict - with many agreeing with Magnay that something significant may have remained unsaid.
Michael McFaul, a professor of political science and former US ambassador to Russia, says the Russian president appears to be "preparing for a big fight" - click through to read his thread below.
Kyiv Post correspondent Jason Jay Smart suggests something was omitted from Mr Putin's speech - and like Magnay, he thinks we could learn more later today.
"It looked pre-recorded and as if it cut-off before it was finished…" he tweeted.
"What is the second, 'urgent', part of the speech that we have not yet seen?
"Tomorrow [now today] Lukashenko is to also give a 'historic' speech.
"HYPOTHESIS: Following Putin's meeting with his National Security Council (RIGHT NOW), Part II of Putin's will appear - and it really will be important.
"Putin is at his weakest point ever. He knows that if he does not create a significant paradigm shift, as soon as possible, he can lose control of Russia."
Meanwhile, R.Politik, which offers independent analysis of Russian politics, is not convinced Mr Putin has done with Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin just yet - and suggests the mindset of the Russian elite may have shifted after Saturday's mutiny.
"Although Prigozhin has retreated, he is now a figure of a completely different scale," they write.
"Putin will need to address this, weighing all the risks of a possible negative reaction from Prigozhin's sympathisers among the nation at large.
"The elites may have exhaled a sigh of relief, but they remain in a state of silent shock. Many are grappling with how fragile the entire 'construction' has proven to be.
"Asking themselves the question, how was it possible to get out of such mutiny unpunished, many come to realise that much more is now allowed than might have seemed."
Finally, Max Seddon, Moscow bureau chief for the FT, has this analysis of Prigozhin's standing following his actions at the weekend...

Something 'significant' to come from Putin
We have heard the thoughts of Moscow correspondent Diana Magnay on Vladimir Putin's speech last night - she described it as "a strange halfway house, saying lots and nothing at all".She suggests we might learn more when Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko conducts his Q&A with journalists later today.
As always, Mr Putin's remarks have been picked through by every journalist and commentator that focuses on this conflict - with many agreeing with Magnay that something significant may have remained unsaid.

WESTERN THEATER /27 JUN/ Ukrainian ‘crossing attempts’ along the Dnipro will necessarily force Russia to divert units from covering the major axes of advance to the Sea of Azov– namely the M-18 HWY to Melitopol and the H-30 HWY to Tokmak. Ukraine will dictate the pace of battle.
