i dunno bout the whole him and his daughter thing, i usually don't believe anything that comes out of the Federation, and personally i think it was a ruse, the RA wanted to get her off the air, and hide. Dugin is the culprit you want, he's putin's ear, he's the one that caused Chech wars, he's also the one who instigated the Georgia war, and he's also the one that instigate this war, all because of his ideology the Great Russian Empire.....that guy needs 2 taps......
and we should use this small leveled clearing to expand.
Once the war in Ukraine ends without a peace treaty, another will begin in Belarus or Georgia to keep the Russian's busy and under sanctions, unless they sign a peace the war will move on, and the next and last domino will fall at Vlad's doorstep in Belarus. If the assholes keep launching drones and missiles at Ukraine, they will freeze in the dark and have severely disrupted rail service in their future and they won't be able to repair their grid like Ukraine can with European help, equipment and supplies.
It's pretty obvious and a lot of those troops I saw in Kherson appeared to be territorials, they were not far behind the army this time, and many were locals who escaped early in the war. This might allow the Tip of the spear some R&R and allow them to move on to the next objective. They need to cut off southern Ukraine and Crimea by winter so they can soften them up for spring, so it seems logical. It will also draw the guns away from across Kherson and to the east as they fight to prevent getting cut off and trapped. It would also draw the Russians out from behind their prepared defenses in the east onto open ground where they can be destroyed.
Meanwhile, moving artillery in position on the opposite side of the river, as well as anti aircraft, and drone downing..
These guys are pros now with experience and know what they are doing, we and the Russians can only guess what it would be. However, trapping and cutting off the Russians in the south and in Crimea is kinda obvious and would fuck them pretty quick allowing all the forces to be concentrated on the Donbas to finish them off in Ukraine. They left lots of equipment in Kherson, enough to replace any Ukrainian loses and perhaps much more, we will soon see.
