(joke) Russia's upcoming announcement: "Kherson region historically only extends to the Dnipro river. This was always the plan".

Yet it's a sensible decision because getting stuff across that river is a logistical nightmare for them with Himars hitting the barges every other day

Giving up this bridgehead really does bring it home to the Russians that they are going backwards - that plan to link up with Transnistria, not looking likely now.

Chairborne division reporting :) It's what I'd do. Tbh I would even go into Kherson at all. Just keep the supplies cut across occupied territory and let em freeze over winter

Yep with the supply route cut behind them, and Crimea bridge still broken, that seems the most likely way of kicking them out of Kherson properly.
 
I wonder if the Russians will just flatten the city from their side of the river now? Or will they pull back far away enough they can’t do that easily? Can’t see that happening as they’d want to stop Ukraine repairing bridges themselves.
Also how will it work around the dam?!
 
I imagine that they can now hold the city hostage with threats to blow the dam.

Can't see any other reason to give up their only meaningful prize so far.

HIMARS says hello.

Can't see them wasting the ammo or logistic effort - save it for where it might do them some good.
 
That is a HUGE win (if true) and the Russians putting it down to supply issues even better. Well played Ukraine. The future of the war effort won’t be easy, but who would have thought Ukraine could do this back when it first kicked off.

The river of course provides a huge future barrier for Ukraine, one that so far has been to their advantage, but not for pushing on, but that’s not to say it can’t be done with the right support.

Doesn’t this now effectively put Crimea and the bridge in easy artillery distance for Ukraine?
