According to one Russian military blogger quoted by the UK MOD, Ukrainians have destroyed almost 90% of Russian military hardware in one village located on the east bank of the river. It's impossible to move equipment there," Ukrainian soldier Oleksiy told The New York Times in December. Meanwhile, an unnamed soldier told the BBC that some of the marines sent to help defend recent Ukrainian advances on the Dnipro "can't even swim."

The Russian defence ministry published a video which it said showed marines from the 810th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade defeating Ukrainian forces. It said Ukrainian forces were suffering heavy casualties and losing equipment in unsuccessful attempts to land on islands in the Dnipro. It is still unclear how significant the Ukrainian attempt to gain a foothold on the eastern bank of the Dnipro is. A Ukrainian counter-offensive has failed to make any significant gains this year against Russian forces. According to unverified reports by pro-Russian bloggers, Russia has been harrying Ukrainian forces near the village Krynky, near marshes on the eastern bank upriver from Kherson, from which Russia withdrew its forces in autumn 2022.

The seizure earlier this month of oil platforms in the Black Sea by Ukrainian commandos has given them another jumping-off point and affected the Russian Black Sea fleet’s freedom of navigation. The Russian Black Sea Fleet has been involved in hundreds of cruise missile attacks against Ukraine and threatens merchant shipping using Ukrainian ports. This image taken from UGC video, uploaded to Telegram with a watermark, shows smoke rising from the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet. The Black Sea Fleet is still a powerful element of Russia’s offensive capability, but becoming less so by the week. “The Black Sea Fleet is more than its naval assets, and the Ukrainian attacks on the Black Sea Fleet will likely achieve effects beyond the degradation of Russian naval capabilities,” concludes the ISW.
