Ukrainian Troops Face Deadly Mission on Dnipro River

Ukrainian soldiers and marines on the Dnipro river front have contradicted official reports of gaining a foothold on the eastern bank, stating that the claims are misleading and that the situation is a "suicide mission." They describe brutal fighting, high casualties, and poor preparation and logistics. The soldiers criticize the lack of psychological preparation and inadequate equipment and reinforcements. The difficult landscape and intense shelling make it challenging to collect bodies, and soldiers often have to step on fallen comrades. Despite the grim conditions, Ukrainian forces continue to fight, prioritizing eliminating Russian soldiers and artillery.
