The images underline the difficulty of Russian troops in consolidating their advances in the Dnipro region, where attempts to cross the river have led to heavy losses.
According to military analysts, Russian forces have repeatedly tried to establish bridgeheads on the western bank of the Dnipro, securing small positions on islands and marshy areas.
