Throughout the day, videos and images have shown that Ukrainian forces have been sweeping through Kherson oblast with very little in the way of opposition. However, it’s become clear that many of the videos being released are at least 24 hours old. Ukraine has been moving toward Kherson for the last two days.
And now it’s there. Sources on both sides have confirmed that Ukrainian forces have full control of Bilozerka west of Kherson, as well as Chornobaivka on the immediate northern edge of the town. Both of these places have been, in the recent past, areas with high concentrations of Russian forces and equipment.
It’s now clear that Russia no longer really controls any area west of the Dnipro River. Whatever plans they had for a fallback defensive line appear to have fallen apart. It’s well after dark in Kherson right now, and Ukrainian forces appear to be still advancing under a nearly full moon.
Russian control west of the Dnipro has collapsed. Every point in dispute. Open image in another tab for a closer look.
The blue locations are those where multiple sources report they have been liberated by Ukraine. Those still yellow are simply locations for which I don’t have any news, or where they’ve only appeared in unofficial lists. The actual location of Ukrainian forces should be expected to be much different from the area in blue here. That’s especially true in the north, where fighting is reported very near Beryslav.
There are reports that Ukraine is chiefly acting to keep anyone from escaping across the river. They want to bag these guys where they are, so they never have to fight them again, and so that Russia is delivered a crushing blow to morale.
