He stated this during the telethon.

"The Russian army is making several attempts every day to cross to the islands controlled by the Ukrainian Defense Forces and to the right bank," Voloshyn said.

According to him, in this way, the Russians are trying to seize a certain bridgehead on the right bank, deploy firepower and use shelling on Kherson and other settlements on the right bank.

Voloshyn added that yesterday, December 20, during a massive attack on Kherson, a small group of Russians tried to force the Dnipro River near Antonivka bridge. However, according to him, the Defense Forces “worked proactively, and the enemy could not even reach the middle of the river.”

  • In the early morning hours of December 20, the Russian army conducted a massive shelling of Kherson. Residential buildings were hit, resulting in at least two deaths and injuries.
  • On the same day, Russian subversive reconnaissance groups attempted to advance toward Kherson.
