Quote: "The excitement sowed by the experts has started [to spread] again around the left bank [of the Dnipro River] in Kherson Oblast. There is no reason for excitement. I've just returned from that place.
In order to land there and not be destroyed, and even to gain a foothold, we need to clear up the territory and push back the enemy. We take care of [our] people, so we deliver counter-battery [fire].
Yes, certain units have completed a certain task there. This is predictable, because our goal is to reclaim all the temporarily occupied territories, so we are using this opportunity everywhere ."
Background: On 9 August, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said Ukrainian forces probably carried out a limited raid across the Dnipro River and landed on Kherson Oblast’s eastern bank. However, it is currently unclear whether the Ukrainian military managed to gain any ground on the river’s left bank.
Hanna Maliar did not confirm it.
