That’s according to a war update delivered by the British intelligence, Ukrinform reports.
"In the Kherson area, Russian forces have likely established two pontoon bridges and a ferry system to compensate for the fact that nearby bridges have been damaged in recent strikes," the report said.
It is also noted that in the newly captured territories in southern Ukraine, the Russian-installed authorities are highly likely “under increasing pressure from Moscow” to consolidate their control over the region and prepare for referendums on joining Russia later in the year.
