I want to say that raising the flag over Vysokopolye and taking three more villages (by the way, which ones?) is too thin a result for a week of suicidal attacks on an open field as part of a counteroffensive that has been prepared since the beginning of summer.
LOL that's really weak sauce for someone who was boasting about capturing some villages in Donbas, didn't get any new talking points?
The "open field" is just a tiny part of the counteroffensive. All those bavovna also mean something. The disappearing of bridges and daily attacks on ferries basically makes the invaders surrounded. Ukrainians don't need to go guns blazing into Kherson, they can slowly squeeze them until the inevitable "good will gesture". Or if the brilliant Russian military strategists decide to send more
reinforcements cannon fodder - that can work out well for Ukrainians too, meaning less pressure elsewhere.
Twist it as you want, but the momentum is clearly shifting. Capture Kyiv in 3 days -> capture some villages in Donbas -> try to hold on to some villages in Donbas -> ah shit, lost some villages near Kherson, no big deal -> next I suppose will be a retreat from Kherson and some desperate attempt to reinforce the land corridor through Melitopol because that's being himarsed daily too.
When their 98th and 45th SF brigades are wiped out south of Vysokopillya, they will 'strategically withdraw' from Kherson to 'secure' the land bridge to Crimea.
The talking heads on RTV (and be.open) will be saying that it is all according to Putin's master plan to defend Russian speakers in Donbas.
Kherson front will be forgotten, just like the fronts on Kyiv and Sumy.
The only way to deal with the occupiers and their
collaborators is to physically eliminate them.
There is no other way.
So partial population of Kherson, Zaporizhia, Donetsk and everyone in Luhansk and Crimea?
. So how many millions are you expecting to physically eliminate exactly? Guessing priority for you would be eliminating the elderly as they were born in USSR and the most prone to collaborate? Kids too? Up to what age if any, do you feel they can be reeducated in the camps?
