Over the weekend, the Ukrainians recaptured the city of Kherson from the Russians. A huge strategic win for Ukraine and only the first of many humiliating retreats & defeats that the Russians will soon face. If there was one thing Russia's military complex needed, it was rail-support. Take that away and ~poof~ say bye-bye to Russia's supply chain - other than school buses and Scooby-Doo vans. So what does that mean? The remainder of Russia's forward operations will face similar fates - if not worse. This is Ukraine's first major opportunity to whittle away at Russian controlled territories at scale, and while the coming days, weeks and months will be pivotal for the Ukrainians, it is nowhere near the end of this war. |

| #1 "the Ukrainians recaptured the city of Kherson" Recaptured is a stretch. Nevertheless RUS isnt there and UKR is. For the minute, as you may be surprised to hear that UAF has issued an Evacuation Order for citizens to leave Kherson. |
