Frontline news
"Last 24 hours was sort of a lull on most parts of the frontline.
The Russians are mostly busy with moving troops, either to reinforce failing frontline sections, or to retage the bank of Dniepro in Kherson.
In the Polohy direction Russia has sent a few small groups to check out the situation at the zeroline.
These have been left alone for the time being in the hope that Russia will move in some major units.
Since the minefields infront of the zeroline are pretty much gone into the annals of history Ukraine is not overly in a hurry to move forward unless they get more troops to squish.
I heard that they may wait for up to a weak before pushing forward again.
After all, it is much more comfy and safe to kill entrenched Russian lacking a minefield infront of them.
Zavitne Bashannye
The village is now taken into a pocket both on the east and west side and fighting is ongoing.
Russia chose to fight for the place even though it is in a bad spot in the lowlands.
Ukraine on the other hand is currently more interested in spreading east-west to gain ground in the higher areas.
Remember here that the entire Ukrainian strategy is to gain the highland ridge between where they are and the sea.
And it is much easier to gain that if they follow the higher elevetion going there.
By taking the elevetions the lowlands will fall easier anyway.
Novodonet'ske
This is an important Russian fortification that so far has withstood the pressure, but yesterday Ukraine broke through East of the town taking it into a pocket.
They are now firing into the town from 3 sides and it is expected to fall in a few days.
From there Ukraine can go straight down and take Kermenchyk and the important crossroads that will take you into Staromlynivka from the East.
Going this route would shorten the battle for Staromlynivka with at least a week, if not more.
Kherson
At Kozachi Laheri Ukraine now has enough control to increase the number of shipments of troop and gear.
Daily between 100-150 troops arrive and slowly somewhat heavier gear like mortars and lighter howitzers are arriving before the battle with the VDV Lada-cavalry.
Ukraine now has very good territorial control around the landing and the river approach making it possible to almost safely cross the Dniepro.
Over at the Castle there's a fresh batch of Russians that have ambled in.
They are forlornly ambling about from there in the country side looking for bridges to cross into Kherson.
There is a lot of swearing as they discover that the Russians that have been there for a while was telling the truth about there being no bridges.
To get there they had sneakily repaired a bridge, but that was rapidly corrected.
What I find interesting is that they sent 150 mobiks with a few tanks to replace 300 dead Marines...
The remaining 300 marines seems to have thanked them for bringing food by taking it away from them and kicked them out into the country side where they make sad mobik noises.
The marines kept the tanks just to make their life more miserable."
