"Today, another attempt was made by Ukrainian troops to cross the Dnieper in the Kherson region in order to gain a foothold on the left bank. It was repulsed. The enemy's attempt was not successful," Vasilenko said.

Kherson region became Russia's region following a referendum held there. At the same time, the Ukrainian side does not recognize its legitimacy and continues to shell the territory of the region.
