Russian troops are fleeing from Kherson

The Russian paratroopers' escape from Kherson will turn into a defeat as a result of strikes on access tracks and troop concentration zones in front of crossings on the right bank of the Dnipro River. They can save themselves only by leaving the equipment

Russian troops began to flee from Kherson. After the Russian forces blew up five bridges and crossings over the Inhulets and Dnipro rivers, further defense in this sector is no longer possible. Those crossings that are closest to the Ukrainian troops and should hinder their advance have been blown up. Obviously, the enemy is blowing up crossings to prevent Ukrainian troops from breaking through to Kherson at the expense of those who are retreating.

We have nowhere to rush, the enemy is retreating in an organized manner, the defenses are maintaining their integrity, but since huge masses of troops are retreating and there are few evacuation points, chaos and panic are very likely, and it is in our interests to increase this.

The key factor in defeating the Russian enemy was effective intelligence and a massive missile and artillery offensive, as well as huge losses of Russian troops. At the moment, the maximum losses to the Russian forces will be inflicted on the places of concentration of troops before the crossings. The Russian troops lack stable multi-channel communication and management, and the telephone connection in Kherson has been destroyed.  Therefore, columns of troops waiting for their turn will inevitably be concentrated at crossing points. Hitting these locations will cause panic and abandon a large amount of combat equipment.

We need congestion and traffic jams on the exit routes now.

We will not be able to cut off the Russian forces and surround them completely, but we can inflict heavy losses with missile and artillery strikes, and force them to make an obvious decision - leaving a large amount of military equipment in the area of ​​crossings. After all, Shoigu and Surovikin said: “the lives of Russian servicemen are the most important.” Nothing was said about the equipment, so there is no reason to regret it.

Russian soldiers must remember that the fathers-commanders will, as always, abandon the soldiers themselves. The Russian forces should use their experience of "regrouping" near Kyiv, Kharkiv, Balaklia, and retreat without anything. Standing in a column in front of the crossing is the most dangerous thing for the Russian troops in Kherson.

It is important for the Ukrainian troops to take into account the dense mining that the Russian enemy used in a number of areas. There is a possibility that the Russian forces will mine a number of large buildings in Kherson.
