Kherson is on the 'wrong' side of the Dnipro river. (The west side, their backs are pinned with limited routes out.)

As Ukraine approaches the city of Kherson their artillery will start to take out the pontoon bridges and any remaining bridges to the East.

Knowing they are about to be trapped in a murder box Russian units will start to panic and rush to get out on the last access out.


How would you like to be stationed in front of that river with the Ukranians advancing?

All the reports are good for Ukraine and very bad for Russia. Too bad pootie is insane. Otherwise, Russia could admit defeat and go home. Save a bunch of new Russian soldier's lives.
