After Kherson, Ukraine’s military ponders new push south and east

But for all the logical speculation, the roads and military positions near the front line show little evidence of a buildup of troops, and there are no indications that the Ukrainians are looking to mount an offensive in Zaporizhzhia region anytime soon, Muzyka and other analysts said.

It was the coldest day yet for the Ukrainian soldiers stationed here, and the first day Dadak noticed the ground begin to harden, he said. But the dirt was still slick enough for military vehicles to slide and get stuck. Dadak said he hoped that in the next couple of weeks their vehicles would gain more traction.

But the immediate challenges are fierce. The ground is even muddier than in the Kherson region, Dadak said. And, after abandoning Kherson city, Russia redistributed its troops to the east, boosting its presence in Zaporizhzhia. Shelling has intensified ever since, Dadak and his soldiers said. The Russian military has been preparing for a Ukrainian offensive in Zaporizhzhia since summer, Kofman said. The Ukrainians, however, carried out offensives in Kharkiv and Kherson, west of the Dnieper River.

The Ukrainian towns closest to the front line appear nearly abandoned for most of the day, with residentsin the morning, when Russian shelling briefly pauses. In the town of Huliaipole, famous for being the birthplace of Ukrainian anarchist revolutionary Nestor Makhno, a missile strike on city hall about a month and a half ago killed the town’s deputy mayor and one of his aides. Another recent strike destroyed a large public library, leaving a mountain of rubble.

Excellent! I expect the Ukrainians to have Russia completely on the run by mid summer at this rate. Does the NYT want to put their reputation where their mouth is or will they just ignore the Russian counter when it comes?

I’m here to see if any of your “journalists” have anything on the Twitter/Musk bombshells yesterdays. So…nothing? Do y’all see now why America has no respect for the major media services anymore? What you are doing isn’t journalism. It’s manipulation and deflection.

Why aren’t you covering the Twitter Files story? Biggest news story of the decade.

How about that DNC collusion with Twitter

Seek peace.

WP is in the way. You don't overdo it.

Kherson wasn’t captured militarily. There was a pull back. Or wasn’t there?

Peace Ukraine 🕊️🕊️🕊️

They can't though. Their victory was symbolic. Had they actually overcome the enemy, sure. But Russia wasn't weakened in the slightest while Ukraine stretched itself thin for this offensive. They'd get dusted if they pushed further. Better off holding this ground and reinforcing

Is any of this true? We will never know.

Good luck.God bless

Hopefully Melitopol can be liberated soon

Украина встретит ожесточенное сопротивление 💪 💪 💪 🇷🇺

But it was a withdrawal, not captured in a push. How long can ukraine even maintain operational manpower?

Free Crimea.
