The Battle of Krynki was a Ukrainian counter-offensive operation during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The fighting began on October 19, 2023 in the village of Krynki.

Background

[edit]

On the first day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, February 24, 2022, the village of Krynky was occupied by Russian troops.

On June 6, 2023, as a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, the territory of the occupied village was very damaged and was temporarily flooded due to its proximity to the lower reaches of the Dnieper, during this period most of the local residents were able to leave, with the resumption of hostilities - there were no local residents left in the village at all.

On October 14, 2023, a Russian ammunition depot detonated near the village.
