Def Mon is one of the best and funniest commentators out there. He does a lot of maps but they are often focused on obscure villages and small areas so I don't always get their meaning. Anyway, he put this one out their yesterday:

What does it mean? Chornobaivka is next to Kherson, the major occupied city in the south of Ukraine. The Kherson airport is located there. The red fires mean Ukraine is giving some of their own back to the orcs. Ukraine is raining artillery down on orc positions prior to advancing. The Russians won't be able to stop Ukraine. They put everything they have in the Donbas. They don't have enough troops to hold the south. The Pentagon said so the other day. After Kherson there are no defensible positions until you reach Crimea.
To be continued......


Here's a topographical view of Kherson and Chernobaivka:

I'm no strategist but I don't think Ukraine will fight
In Kherson. I think they will cut the city off from resupply. Ukraine won't reduce their city to rubble and they have accurate artillery.
