Russian army retreating. It’s really happening. I thought they were bluffing. Ukraine says a new military push is underway and has broken through front-line Russian defenses in the south Ukraine said Monday that its forces launched a military offensive in multiple directions in the south. It said an offensive push broke through some front-line Russian defenses near the occupied city Kherson. The move possibly signals the start of a long-awaited Ukrainian counteroffensive. Monday's reports signal the start of Ukraine's long-awaited counteroffensive along the war's southern front near Kherson, which was the first major city to fall to Russian forces in early March. Ukraine has been inferring such a move for months, but it hasn't materialized. [link to www.businessinsider.com (secure)] |

Russian army retreating. On Monday, Ukraine's Kakhovka operational group in the south said that one regiment of Russian-backed forces had left its positions in the Kherson region. It added that Russian paratroopers providing the back-up had fled the battlefield. Ukraine's Hromadske TV said three of its sources in Ukraine's military confirmed that the first line of defence had been broken. Meanwhile, Ukrainian army spokeswoman Natalia Humeniuk said "any military operation requires 'silence' regime", urging Ukrainians to be patient. "Our main efforts have been focused on destroying the enemy's ammunition storage bases. More than 10 of such bases were destroyed over the past week," she said. But Ms Humeniuk refused to give any further details. Ukrainian military also claimed on Monday to have struck multiple targets in the region, including a factory in Beryslav and a Russian army post by the North Crimean Canal. According to Western military sources, Kyiv's strikes on the river crossings are part of a targeted effort to isolate Russian troops on the right (western) bank of the river with the ultimate goal of recapturing the entire Kherson region. Moscow relied on the bridges to resupply their troops stationed west of the Dnipro river, who are now at risk of becoming isolated from the rest of Russia's occupying forces.
