'Ukrainian maneuvers would likely try to encircle the city to eliminate the possibility of those Russian forces in the city leaving,' a military expert said.
For months, Ukrainian officials have been signaling their intention to launch a counteroffensive aimed at liberating the Russian-occupied city of Kherson. As the war in Ukraine approaches the six-month mark, it finally appears that an operation aimed at pushing Russian forces back across the Dnieper River has begun.
There are three major bridges across the Dnieper River connecting Russian-occupied territory on the east and west banks. One, the Antonovsky bridge into the city of Kherson, has been hit repeatedly by Ukrainian HIMARS rocket strikes and is reportedly unfit for heavy traffic. The second, the Antonovsky railroad bridge, has also been hit by Ukrainian attacks.
"The Ukrainians aren't actually going to conduct a decisive ground maneuver at this time against a reinforced Russian position," Barros said."Instead, I think what we will see is something closer to a protracted siege." The ultimate success of this operation will have significant strategic implications for the Ukrainian war effort. The city of Kherson is the only major Ukrainian population center under Russian occupation on the right bank of the Dnieper River.

The return of 'rasputitsa' and what it means for Russia's war in UkraineFor centuries, Russia has depended on its harsh winter weather to help turn back invaders.
