Brilliant news!
Happy new year >

Holy shit! It’s widely been believed that Ukraine would prefer to not push across the Dniper and move south back towards Mariupol. If anything this means Russia isn’t capable as the West believed at holding off any river crossings. (Even if this is a small one). >

Ukraine has done a number of successful river crossing already, in the Kharkiv offensive 
This probably does not prelude a full scale push across the Dniper tho, logistical challenges would be intense. Makes more sense to push south to Melitopol and cut the Russian force in two >

Hell, the Russians had issues supplying the front north of the river. And there was a partial bridge, a pontoon bridge, and various tugs.
Now there is no bridge, the pontoons were sunk, and I'm assuming the tugs are gone too.
