The fighting for Kherson began, with Russian troops landing on the right bank of the Dnieper. Russian political scientist Sergei Markov in his commentary stated that the situation in the Kherson region has deteriorated.
According to him, Russian troops managed to inflict a powerful blow on a number of military installations in the city, which may indicate preparation for large-scale operations.
Markov also reported on the actions of Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups that landed on the right bank of the Dnieper.
According to the political scientist, the actions of the Russian units have caused concern among Ukrainian analysts, who estimate that the Russian army may soon launch an offensive on Kherson.
Such activity, in his opinion, may be part of Russia’s strategy aimed at regaining control over important territories in the context of the conflict.
The situation in Kherson remains tense
The Ukrainian side reports that artillery shelling of the city and nearby settlements continues.
At the same time, Russian sources claim that the strikes are aimed exclusively at military facilities used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
We recall that on November 9, 2022, the then Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu had approved the proposal of the commander of the Joint Group of Forces in the area of the special military operation, Army General Sergei Surovikin, to withdraw Russian troops to the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.
The operation to withdraw more than 30,000 Russian servicemen was carried out without loss of personnel and equipment.
After the withdrawal was completed, the Russian troops occupied prepared defensive lines and positions on the left bank of the Dnieper.
Now it’s time for the Russians to reclaim Kherson, who as long as Zelensky is not sitting at the negotiating table, they will advance into Ukrainian territory.
