Despite the fact that the russian federation tried to misinform and create a false impression about the withdrawal of its forces from the bridgehead on the right bank of the Dnipro river near Kherson, the real intentions of the russians, at least, indicate a strengthening of defense. This has already been reported in the Pentagon.
According to the data of the "Information Resistance" community, published by its coordinator Kostyantyn Mashovets, over the past 5-6 days, russia has increased the number of battalion tactical groups by six units and brought their number to 39, of which 21-22 BTGr are on the bridgehead itself.

Also interesting are the data regarding the formations of which these forces are formed, in which a significant proportion of airborne troops remains. In particular, we are talking about the 7th, 76th, 98th airborne divisions and the 11th separate airborne assault brigade. At the same time, the core of the group consists of motorized rifle units from the combined armies, and artillery support is provided simultaneously by seven tactical artillery groups.
Also mobilized members of the 2nd Army Corps, including the 4th "rifle regiment of the mobilization reserve" were seen on the bridgehead. In addition eight combined tactical groups of the "Rosgvardiya" (the internal military force of Russia, comprising an independent agency that reports directly to the President of Russia Vladimir Putin) are stationed on the bridgehead.
Thus, the density of the grouping of the russian army near Kherson is more than high and allows for active regrouping, during which the occupiers turn off mobile communication stations and the Internet to prevent the transmission of information by the local population.
The enemy's forces allow him to allocate reserves. In particular, a reserve of three BTGr has already been formed, which have a high degree of manning and readiness for combat operations within a few hours. And all these measures, together with the recorded movement of units of the russian army, indicate that the enemy is preparing for counterattacks. According to "Information Resistance" community, one of the possible areas on which the russians can dominate and invade will be the Lyubomirivka - Novogrigorivka and/or Blagodatne - Partyzanske districts.
"Another area of the enemy's main efforts was the Chkalove-Kostromka-Schaslyve-Bruskinske area. It is not surprising that this area covers the enemy's tactical group concentrated in the northern part of the bridgehead from the left flank," the message states.
