Isn’t the 127th Division around Velyka Novosilka? I assumed the sector from Robotyne to the Dnipro River was the responsibility of the 19th Division. Before the start of the counteroffensive it was said the Mokri Yali River divided the areas of responsibility of EMD and SMD, although after the onset of the attacks there was definitely some mixing, e.g. elements of the 35th Army in Polohy. Also, I saw that elements of the 7th VDV Division were spotted in the Velyka Novosilka sector, a potential sign that the Russians are actually committing some new operational reserves in the frontline, after the 34th Brigade as you wrote, the 36th Army and the 136th Brigade in late June.

Barring any reinforcements in terms of mobilized regiments or BARS I think that now only the 205th Brigade + 61st and 80th Arctic Brigades remain in the rear in Kherson Oblast, although these formations together with the rest of the 7th VDV Division probably are needed to deter Ukrainian amphibious attempts.
