Ukraine-Russia war – live: Kyiv breaks through Putin’s defences in ‘surprise raid’ across Dnipro River
Ukrainian forces broke through some of Russia’s defensive lines after launching a surprise raid across the Dnipro River as monitors of Moscow’s full-scale invasion reported clear signs of a major battle. The Dnipro River divides liberated Ukrainian territory on one bank and Russian-occupied land on the other, and for months it has served as part of the front line in southern Ukraine. Up to seven boats, each carrying up to six troops, arrived on the Russian-occupied bank, apparently under the cover of darkness, and advanced 800m, the Russian military bloggers said. Blogger Trinadtsatyi, posting on the Telegram messaging app to more than 150,000 followers, said a number of Russian soldiers were allegedly killed or taken captive during the raid. Images circulating on social media appeared to show captured soldiers. This latest surprise raid appears to be the most significant since the launch of a similar operation by Ukraine’s 73rd marine special operations unit.
