Ukraine war: Kyiv secures bridgehead across key Dnipro River - reports

Ukrainian troops have Set Up positions on The East Bank of the Dnipro River in southern Kherson region, reports say.

The region is partially Russian-held and crossing The River could be significant in future offensives.

The US-based Institute for the Study of War says Russian military bloggers have posted " enough geolocated footage and text reports to confirm" the Advance .

BBC Ukraine says its military sources have reported a " certain movement across [the] Dnipro" near Kherson city.

Ukraine's military has not confirmed The Movement , while Russia has denied the reports.

But if the reports that Ukraine has secured a bridgehead on The East Bank are correct, it could be significant in helping Kyiv drive Russian troops back.

A Ukrainian Advance in the Area could, in The Future , even cut The Land corridor to Ukraine's Crimea peninsula, annexed by Russia in 2014.

However, military experts say any Ukrainian troop movements in the bridgehead Area - which is crisscrossed by floodplains, irrigation canals and other water obstacles - would be a tough task.

And Ukrainian advances would be further complicated by Russia's significant advantage in the air.

Ukraine's military has for some time publicly spoken about preparations for a major counter-offensive, without specifying where and when it could be launched.

Until Now , all of the Kherson region on The East Bank of the Dnipro has been under Russian control, with the wide river serving as a natural barrier.

The regional Capital - sitting on the West Bank - was liberated by Ukrainian forces last November.

In Sunday's report, The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said " geolocated footage published on 23 April indicates that Ukrainian forces are operating in areas north-west of Oleshky on The East " Bank of Dnipro.

The ISW added there was not enough information to analyse the scale of the reported Ukrainian Advance - or the further intentions of the Ukrainian military.

On Monday, Russia's WarGonzo military blogger reported that Ukrainian troops were " trying to gain a foothold on Bolshoi Potemkin [Velykyi Potyomkin - Ukrainian] island" which is located between the new and old channels of the Dnipro.

Nataliya Humenyuk, a spokeswoman for Ukraine's South Command, neither confirmed nor denied reports that Ukrainian forces have secured a bridgehead on The East Bank .

She told Ukraine's TV channels that " difficult work is continuing".

A military operation requires " informational silence until it is safe enough for our military" the spokeswoman stressed.

Meanwhile, the Russian-installed head of the Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo , said on Sunday " there were no bridgeheads on the Left Bank near Oleshky, or any other places" on that side of The River .
