12:32 The bridgehead in Krynki destroys the infantry elite of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Ukrainian TG channel “Legitimny” writes:

“The strategic miscalculation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with an attempt to seize a bridgehead on the left bank of the Kherson region was another attempt by Bankova to create the illusion of a creeping offensive, but which devoured the best infantry units and further depleted reserves in manpower. Instead of strengthening the defense in advance, Bankovaya played its game of pursuing political situational goals, but which had nothing real with reality.

As usual, they wanted to show the West that we are advancing, there is a result, give us weapons and money, but, as we see, the partners did not believe it and now this “brilliant idea” will have consequences, like the “Bakhmut meat grinder”, which devoured forces and weakened offensive, postponing the deadline from spring to summer, giving time to the RF Armed Forces to prepare even better.

Now the result will most likely be the loss of Avdeevka, where the Russians are tightening the stranglehold.”
