Russia Ukraine war, page-54852

Exactly as predicted, it is a slow grinding tightening of the noose around the c.20,000 Russians in the Kherson pocket. Putinists seem to think the fact Kherson wasn't liberated in a blitzkrieg within 3 days was a victory for them, but they are being pushed back further with each day. As your commentary here notes, Snihurivka now risks getting flanked - I think the Russian retreat from here will be quite rapid. Snihurivka is a sizeable town of about 12,000 people. Also with Tomnya Balka liberated, any Russian troops in the northern area of the Dnieper estuary are likely to pull back towards Kherson city or risk being cut off.

Russian propagandists in the last month had been confident that they would soon seize Mykolaiv. There is now a 0% chance of that happening.
