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?

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.

Ukraine have had 3 HUGE victories since September 1st, during the same time, the Russians captured Pisky.
The total liberated area since September 1 should end up around 17000 km2 with the area west of the Dnipro.

Every win like this is important for the increased morale among the UA forces, and to decrease the morale among the Russian forces. They all must wonder where the huge UA offensive force will go next. Will it come to their area?

It also have a huge impact on Russian public opinion, they are not happy on the RU telegrams today. The amount of vatnik tears harvested today would be enough to energize an entire continent for years.

This is a good point from @ralee85. While winter might slow things down, it will not stop the war. Ukraine has momentum and the initiative in this war - they are not going to waste it. 1/2 https://t.co/60pmxsAPjv
