Ukraine gains ground across key river in face of Russian attacks.

Ukrainian troops have established positions on the east bank of the Dnipro river, indicating that Russia's defensive positions are weakening, according to The Institute for Study of War. The Ukrainian positions have been established north of Oleshky, a town across the river from Kherson. The reports suggest a lack of Russian control of the area, as Ukrainian forces have maintained positions on the east bank, established stable supply lines, and are regularly conducting sorties in the area.
