My thoughts on the crossing at Dnipro are that it was either a diversion to try and move Russian forces away from other areas of the front to prevent a potential river crossing (which would never come) or if the Russian’s never reinforced the area to maybe attempt an actual river crossing/build up for a break through. Like you said, there isn’t a whole lot of strategic value in holding this position if it’s not going to be used for something and if the Ukrainian’s are flexible enough I think that’s why they are still dedicating resources for this. See how the Russian’s react to it and then adapt their strategy accordingly.
Solid points. Does seem like RU has slightly shifted reinforcements there, just enough to plug the gap but not enough to really push UA back across. Guess we’ll have to wait and see
