#1 "The fighting to take back Kherson would be some of the hardest for Ukrainian forces."

In a different metaverse, maybe. One side quit. That's not hard fought. The spoils of victory: The gains in Kherson are such that Ukraine has conscripted the males of the city and have ordered the city's evacuation.

Maybe the better decision was the housing voucher Russia was offering...

The end of this narrative arc we see both sides have deemed the City of Kherson as not being strategically important enough at this time in the war to garrison and occupy it.

You need to take a better look at the data from both sides. This was a modern WWI style slug. Lots of artillery with attacks over very flat and open terrain. The Ukrainians took pretty heavy losses compared to their other attacks. What they did is make the Russians use their artillery at such a rate they couldn't replace it over the damaged bridges fast enough. Food, replacements and ammo were all being rapidly drained from the constant attacks by Ukraine until the Russians had to pull back and quit before they ran out of everything.

Watch the video please.
