🧵Kherson
Some people seems confused about the Ukrainian victory in Kherson.

It is important to understand the strategy and the goals.

The goal was to liberate the area, not to kill as many Russians as possible or to destroy as much infrastructure as possible.

Statement regarding the first hits on the Antonivsky Bridge
-----------
@KyivIndependent:
The strike didn't aim to destroy the bridge, but to make it impossible for the Russian military to use it, according to Natalya Humenyuk, the spokesperson of the Operational Command South.

Video published by Ukraine's Armed Forces allegedly shows the bridge after the strike.

The liberation of Kherson is the result of 3 months of attrition warfare. Continued attacks on the Russian ground lines of communications was at the end too much for Russia. To succeed this this, you also need them to spend ammo and fuel. They spend ammo and fuel during combat.

This has not been smooth, Ukraine have had high losses in Kherson and it has been a very difficult area to advance in. The terrain is not optimal and the RuAF in Kherson had actually done a good job digging in.

This is some RU positions I have mapped about a week ago.
Green = Vehicle revetment
Black = Concrete covered vehicle revetment
Red = RU Mil vehicles
Yellow = Unidentified position
Orange = Trench

This is far from complete, I skipped about 200 vehicle revetment add a lot of trenches around Chornobaivka.

It almost seems like some people are disappointed this did not end with a huge Hollywood style battle. But I think the Russian retreat was the optimal solution.

Taking all those entrenched lines meter for meter with ground combat would have been extremely costly for both sides. Ukraine would have lost soldiers lives, equipment, ammo and civilian lives.

Some think Ukraine just let the Russians leave. This is wrong. The barges have been hammers with GMLRS and artillery for the last 3 months.
Most of us remember this video.

Ukraine can now relocate a lot the offensive equipment to other areas where it is needed. Especially the artillery will do a huge difference in the east. They will of course still have to leave a blocking force, but it can be a lot smaller than what they needed for an offensive.

I don't see any reason for the AFU to try to cross the Dinpro at this point. If they would do that, they would be in the same positions as the Russians just were on the right bank of Dinpro. Why cross the river if you can just go around it?

Def Mon (Twitter)

The only time I think it would make sense to try to cross the river, is if the AFU are advancing on Mariupol.

There is also a political aspect to the liberation of Kherson. Ukraine stated their goal was to liberate the south. They have now showed the west they are are capable of achieving their goals.

This is very important to ensure continued support from the west during the winter.
