Over the last weeks of October 2023, Ukrainian forces established a foothold on the left bank of the Dnipro River near Krynky. They are now building a bridgehead in Krynky to bring in armored vehicles, air defense, and other military equipment to establish the base on the left bank to push the enemy from shelling Kherson and conduct a large-scale military operation at a later date.

The Ukrainian 38th Marine Brigade units remain dangerously exposed. Although Russian units also lack the equipment and manpower in the area due to employing troops in the ongoing clashes in Avdiyvka and Robotyne, Russians still have time and capability to push back the bridgehead in the near time.

Will Ukraine manage to establish the beachhead along the left bank of the Dnipro River at or near Krynky before December 2023?

This will be resolved by via ISW determination that such beachhead has been established by AFU. As of November 13, several milbroggers on both sides claimed that Ukraine managed to establish three bridgeheads in Krynky, Poima, and Antonivka and connect them. Russians are currently reported to run an attempt to destroy the Krynky bridgehead. No official confirmation or denial has been issued by either side.

UPD: 1. "Base" has been changed to "beachhead". A beachhead(also a bridgehead) is a secure and fortified area that has been captured by military forces during an amphibious assault. It serves as a landing point for troops and equipment, providing a secure foothold from which further military operations can be conducted.

2. A method to resolve the market has been added.
