russian forces are preparing an operation to cross the Dnipro River in the Kherson region, attempting to mirror Ukrainian tactics by establishing bridgeheads on the right bank, Ukrainian Colonel Vladyslav Selezniov stated in an interview with Antin Borkovskyi, host of the Studio West program.
Commanded by General Teplinsky, the russian Dnepr group includes over 120,000 troops, 2,000 assault forces, and 300 high-speed boats ready for action. Despite these preparations, Selezniov noted that previous attempts have been thwarted by Ukrainian artillery and drones, with russian troops often sabotaging their own boats to avoid certain death during crossings.

Selezniov emphasized that any successful russian landing would face swift destruction due to Ukraine's precise drone and artillery operations. He added that russian efforts to replicate Ukraine's success at bridgeheads near the Antonivka Bridge and Krynky have failed, with minimal chances of future success.
Although the russian strategy appears futile, Selezniov warned it poses ongoing challenges for Ukraine's Defense Forces defending Kherson.
