Russian invasion forces
are trying to deceive the Ukrainian military in the area of Krynky on the east
bank of Kherson Oblast with the help of dummy soldiers, a member of the
Ukrainian Defense Forces reported on his Telegram channel Hovoryat Snayper on
Dec. 21.
Strategic deception when probing or covering another advance.
Could also be a way to expend Ukrainian supplies, especially artillery that has limited ammo and could be tempted by a juicy vehicle.
