• Invasion of Ukraine Ukraine's 'shopping list' so as not to lose the war against Russia

  • Invasion of Ukraine One hundred days surviving in Kharkov without water or electricity and among corpses

This Saturday, a poster with a white background appeared hanging on walls and trees in the occupied city of Kherson.

"

Russia: 626 kilometers. Ukrainian Army: 10 kilometers

."

It was a message in Russian addressed to the Moscow military who invaded the city in the first days of the war and who can now feel, in the distance, that the war returns to them three months later.

While everyone was looking at Donbas, where

the Russians have been advancing half a kilometer on average

, Ukraine has made remarkable progress on the southern front, where it does not have its best troops, far from it.

The offensive launched a month ago

has pierced the Russian defense lines at various points on the Inhulets River

, which Ukraine has successfully crossed and created bridgeheads.

This offensive is supported by the action

of partisan groups

that have been destroying any possibility of launching a pseudo referendum to unite the territory with Russia.

So far they have eliminated collaborationist mayors, Russian soldiers and Russian officials like Yevhen Soboliev, the guy Moscow put in charge of the prison.

Yesterday his car was blown up, creating a feeling among the occupants

that they will not be able to sleep peacefully in Kherson

.

The Ukrainians, pushing the front line, have positioned themselves about 10 kilometers from the city, that is, within artillery fire.

If the Russians do not reinforce the garrison with more troops, the Ukrainians could try to take it in the next few days, which would mean another heavy blow to the "Special Military Operation" that had already had to

redefine objectives after a dire first part and that remains muddy in the Donbas

.

If Kherson is liberated, she would put Ukraine as the gateway to the Crimean peninsula to try to cut off that land corridor that Moscow has worked so hard to conquer.

In the carnage of Severodonetsk, high casualties continue on both sides.

Yesterday a group of Chechen soldiers of Satrap Kadyrov tried to enter the industrial zone controlled by Ukraine.

They were repulsed by the foreign members of the Legion, with many killed on both sides

.

In addition, Russia again tried to cross the Siverskyi River to close one of its pincers on the Ukrainian defenders, again with dire consequences, as happened in May, with the loss of 70 armored vehicles and some 500 soldiers killed.

This time, the images offered from a drone showed the Ukrainian artillery

destroying several tanks camouflaged on the shore

.

That river has become a natural defense for Ukraine.

Although kyiv is reluctant to admit it, long-range weapons are beginning to trickle in and its defenders breathe a little easier.
