Russian army unlikely to push Ukrainian troops back beyond the Dnipro River - Estonian intelligence

Estonian intelligence has expressed doubt that the Russian occupiers will be able to push the Defense Forces, which have managed to gain a foothold on the left bank of the Kherson region, beyond the Dnipro River. Currently, the defenders are holding the de-occupied territories in the southern part of the front.

This was stated by the head of the Estonian Defense Forces Intelligence Center, Ants Kiviselg, ERR reports. It is noted that the Defense Forces have two main goals in the region:

- to control over the areas on the left bank of the Dnipro River;

- to push the Russian invaders to the south, which will protect Kherson from shelling.

Kiviselg emphasized that he currently sees no prerequisites and does not believe that Ukrainians will be thrown back to the right bank. Unless it is the decision of the defenders themselves.

In general, according to the Estonian intelligence officer, the intensity of fighting in Ukraine has decreased due to the deteriorating weather. The only exception is the frontline near Avdiivka, where the number of attacks by the occupiers has increased.
