00:00 Ukraine`s military says its troops have now managed to secure multiple bridgeheads on
00:04 the eastern bank of the Dnipro River. It`s a small but potentially significant strategic
00:09 advance in the midst of a war that`s largely at a standstill.
00:13 Ukraine`s president tweeted simply, "The Herson region`s left bank. Our warriors."
00:19 The Russian military has a different version. It says the Ukrainian forces have tried to
00:23 occupy islands in the river, but lost hundreds of soldiers in the attempt and remain on the
00:28 western bank.
