Lot's of screaming and dying on the coms in Kherson today. Ukraine have total of 60 000 men for the attack, and currently an entire tank division is rolling back the Russians well past Mylove towards Nova Kakhovka, with a second mechanised division pushing from Davydi Brih. Another Mech Div is standing by in reserve. In Kherson City direction a further Mech Div has taken position.
Note here the terminology change, I have not used the word division since the attack on Kyiv. This is a full army that is attacking.
Ukraine have in 8 months gone from Battalion, to Brigade, to Division and finally to full Armies.
During a war, under attack. This is insanely impressive.
At the same time Russia has gone in reverse and is now fighting in Company strength, or at Bakhmut in Battalion strength.
Only time I country under attack has reversed their strength like this was the Soviet Union during WWII.
In Kherson the civilian leadership have fled before the advancing Ukrainian Army.
The time for the Victory is currently only affected by the amount of rain falling/mud buildup.
The Ukrainians are doing their best to use roads to keep up their momentum.
Just as a pointer of the scale, yesterday just at the point towards Mylove Ukraine performed 110 artillery fire missions of around 100 shells each..."
