Ukrainian forces crossed into the Russian-occupied east bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region and took positions there, the region's Russian-installed governor said Friday. // He said Ukrainian "sabotage groups" had managed to hide out on the outskirts of the Russian-controlled town of Kozachi Lageri, near the river, but that they were later "cleared out" by Moscow's forces./.../ Saldo's comments come after Ukraine's deputy defence minister Ganna Malyar this week confirmed that "certain (Ukrainian) units performed certain tasks", on the left bank of the Dnipro river in Kherson.
