Krynky, question of expediency !

Recently, I have repeatedly encountered the
opinion that the events that are taking place

on the left bank of the Kherson region near Krynky
are not worth the effort and resources that are

being expended on them. However, none of the
authors of these messages has been able to make

an elementary comparison between the resources
spent by the AFU and those used by Russian troops.

Not so long ago, the "Dnieper" group
of troops operating on the left bank

of the river was considered one of the
least combat-ready, only the "Defense of

Crimea" was worse. However, very quickly
it significantly increased its potential,

primarily due to quantitative growth. In 3 months,
the personnel grew from 60000 to 72000 people.

As of today, the "Dnieper" troop group also
has 400 tanks, 900 Armored fighting vehicles,

500 barrel-armor and about
100 Multiple rocket launchers.

This increase occurred through the
redeployment of a number of units

from the groups "Zaporozhye" and "Defense of
Crimea". That is, according to the principle,

somewhere arrived, somewhere
decreased, and thus weakened.

A grouping of more than 72,000 people with a
full range of forces and means at its disposal,

suffering huge losses, is unable to cope
with small Ukrainian company-level units

with limited functionality, with only artillery
and drones from the right bank as support? At

the same time, the command of the group is
urgently and hastily increasing its number

at the expense of other groups of troops,
clearly unable to cope with the situation.

The left bank of the Kherson region, it would
seem, has a more favorable position than the

right, because there is no full-flowing
river, which is an obstacle to retreat,

but there is a nuance. The left bank has
rather limited logistics. There are not

so many full-fledged arteries, highways
here, and those providing the first line

of the left bank are concentrated
very close to the coast itself.

For example, Oleshki is dependent on the P57 and
E97, which just south of the Floodplain splits

into 2206. In other words, physically cutting one
or both of them will isolate Oleshki. As for 2206,

it is not only the main artery on
the left bank to Nova Kakhovka,

but also with the transition to
M14 leads directly to Melitopol.

In fact, as of today, we can already note
the lack of control by enemy forces over

the first-line road. And the movement of enemy
equipment along the section south of Krynky,

which is about 20 kilometers long, is extremely

dangerous. Now this section is literally
strewn with various Russian scrap metal.

The expediency of such actions and the purpose
of the Ukrainian defense forces is obvious,

and the command of the "Dnieper" group
understands it perfectly well, but they cannot

prevent this process in any way, with all their
quantitative and overall resource superiority.

The most important thing to realize is that
the processes taking place on the left bank

are slow by definition. On the other
hand, when they reach their catharsis,

everything will accelerate, and
we will be left guessing which

line will become the main one for the
retreating enemy forces to consolidate.
