Krynky (Ukrainian: Кринки; Russian: Крынки) is a village in Oleshky urban hromada, Kherson Raion, Kherson Oblast.[2] It is located on the east bank of the Dnieper river.[3][4]

History[edit]

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Krynky came under Russian control.[5]

As a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in June 2023, Krynky was almost completely submerged, according to Tetiana Hasanenko, head of the Ukrainian military administration of the hromada.[5] Most of its residents fled to neighboring Kozachi Laheri, which was also largely flooded. Ukrainian authorities lost contact with the population of the community, as electricity and internet were completely lost for days.[3]

On 30 October 2023, during an incursion across the Dnieper, elements of the Ukrainian 37th and 38th separate Marine brigades had advanced to and recaptured Krynky.[6] Although no heavy equipment has been brought across the River, the Marines are supported by MRLs and artillery from the right bank. Supplies to the Ukrainian troops are maintained by small boats. Despite the reinforcements from the Russian 382nd, 337th airborne regiment at the end of 2023, Ukrainian marines are still holding a part of the village as of March 2024, and Intense fighting has continued for months.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]

Demographics[edit]

As of the 2001 Ukrainian census, the settlement had 991 inhabitants. Their native languages were 90.21% Ukrainian and 9.28% Russian.[1]
