Russia-held Kherson ‘virtually Cut Off’ As Ukraine’s Counter-attack ‘gains Momen by Nobody: 1:06pm On Jul 28, 2022
Russian troops in Kherson have been "virtually cut off" from other occupied territory and left vulnerable after Ukraine scaled up its counter-offensive in the region, the UK’s military intelligence has said.

In an update on Thursday, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said Ukraine’s attacks on Russian-held Kherson were “gaining momentum” after its forces struck Antonivskyi Bridge, which it said was likely rendered unusable.

The strategic bridge, still standing but pierced with holes, is essential for Moscow to supply its occupying forces in the south.

The MoD said Ukrainian troops have used new long-range artillery to damage at least three bridges on the Dnipro river, which runs through the centre of Ukraine from Kherson in the south to Kyiv in the north.

It said: “Russia’s 49th Army, stationed on the west bank of the Dnipro River, now looks highly vulnerable.”

It added that Russia’s loss of control over Kherson would “severely undermine [its] attempts to paint the occupation as a success”.

Russian officials have said they would instead use floating bridges and ferries to get their soldiers across the river.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday in his nightly address: “We are doing everything to ensure that the occupying forces do not have any logistical opportunities in our country.”

One of Mr Zelensky’s advisers, Oleksiy Arestovych, said Russia was conducting a “massive redeployment” of forces from the east to the south to defend the Kherson region.

Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council, has tweeted that Russia was concentrating “the maximum number of troops” in the direction of the Kherson.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin’s forces have launched missile strikes on the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions, areas that have not been targeted in weeks. Shelling has also hit Kharkiv and Mykolaiv.

On Wednesday, Russian-backed forces said they had captured the coal-fired Vuhlehirsk power plant, Ukraine’s second-largest, in the eastern Donetsk region. It is reported to be Moscow’s first significant gain in more than three weeks.

Also in Donetsk, Moscow-backed separatists have accused Ukrainian forces of killing four civilians and injuring 11 amid shelling. The report could not be verified by the Reuters news.

Ukraine government have been saying Kherson offensive since over 3 months.
Last week they said they cut off 2K Russia troops then later said they were about to cut 2K Russia troops off then later said the fighting have not begun

Propaganda might be good for people at home but propaganda don’t work in frontline.
Ukraine kept losing lands every day and the more the war continues they more people will forget about it like Syria and Libya war.

Winter is coming, nobody will remember Ukraine again
Meanwhile Russia troops already surrounded Ukraine’s second-biggest power plant.

I don’t need your words neither do you need mine.
You are one of the people shouting Ghost Kyiv here on Nairaland.
I followed both Ukraine and Russia troops in FL on both Telegram and Twitter.

You need to understand my comment, Ukraine always said so and so in frontline and it always immediately on MSM yet the reality always came few hours later when Russia troops will take over.

Remember how they took a border pole and took a picture with it saying their troops reached Russia border and it became news but 2 days later, it was fake.
Remember how they risked their lives to take a picture on snake island and lost almost all the troops there due to Russia airstrikes.

Right now, Ukraine war is not even common as people are more concerned about high cost of living going on than Ukraine

Exactly. When winter kicks in it will be difficult for thos countries supporting Ukraine to continue their support cause people at home will be annoyed that they are suffering and their countries keep sending aid to Ukraine.

Germany already said two weeks ago that they can't plunder and empty their military arsenal because of Ukraine.

Spain have increased its LNG of Russia gas by almost X3 from June till now
Russia oil going to Italia island of Sicilia is over 500K barrels per day over X5 before the war.
Oman to start importing Russia and Iran oil and gas as Saudi and UAE imports almost 1M barrels each per day.

AFU confirmed in Evening Report start of an Russia offensive in whole Donetsk directions few hours after Russia MOD said it.

A Stupid person comments without knowing facts. Ukraine Goverment stated clearly that They don't intend to destroy the bridge, But to degrade it so Russia or Heavy Military vehicles can't supply weapons through it, But can still be use by light vehicles for humanitarian needs.

If Russia is pained as you claimed, why is the USA the one calling for talk with Russia not the other way around.

Why is France President calling Putin phones not the other way around.
Countries are inviting Russia officials and welcome them with red carpet.
Biden travelled all the way to Saudi only for Saudi to say NO at the same time announced that even they Saudi imports almost 1M barrels of Russia oil per day.
Egypt cancelled its wheat deal with Ukraine just 24 hrs after meeting with Russia FM.

Why are USA biggest allies in the Middle East making more deals with Russia.
Everyone is calling Moscow because now they have another option.
20 years ago, them no born anybody to do anyhow to whatever USA said but today it’s not so anymore.

USA need Saudi now more than Saudi need USA as this war now shows everyone.
