Russian forces 'are constantly replenished' no matter how many get taken out, Ukrainian commander says

• Ukrainian troops are trying to hold out on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River.
• They've been targeting Russian positions with drones, the UK's Defense Ministry said.

A Ukrainian commander said that regardless of how many times his unit hit enemy targets on a key battlefront, Russian forces were always being resupplied.

Tymur, a commander in Ukraine's 11th National Guard Brigade, told the BBC that his unit was using drones to target Russian positions across the Dnipro River from the city of Kherson.

But "no matter how many times we hit the same places, [the Russians] are constantly replenished," he said.

At the same time, Ukrainian drone attacks have proved increasingly vulnerable to Russia's jamming systems, the BBC reported.

A three-drone crossing observed by the outlet left two drones disabled, with only one making it to the other side of the river.

Ukraine's forces on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River have been using first-person-view drones loaded with munitions to strike Russian vehicles, the UK Defense Ministry reported earlier this month.

At the time, the ministry said that Russia was unable to counter the Ukrainian drone attacks, likely because of a shortage of Russian electronic-warfare capability in the area.

However, this no longer seems to be the case, the BBC said.

The latest news comes on top of other struggles reported by Ukrainian soldiers on the left bank of the river, including being heavily outnumbered, difficulties transporting equipment across the water, and a lack of training among some soldiers.

On Sunday, the Institute for the Study of War said that Ukrainian and Russian forces continued "positional" fighting on the eastern bank of the river, with no confirmed change to the front lines.
