Ukrainian military establishes positions in Kherson's east bank.

The Ukrainian military has established positions on the east bank of the Dnipro in the Kherson region, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). The extent and intent of these positions remain unclear, but they may indicate that Russian forces do not control islands in the Kinka and Chaika rivers. Russian “war bloggers” say that Ukraine has not fully occupied the positions, but maintains an “episodic presence” in the area. Russia’s Ministry of Defense has not commented.
