The Russians want to defend Kherson, which they have controlled since early March, against kyiv’s counter-offensive. The coming days and weeks are going to be essential.
Ukraine continues its counter-offensive on the city of Kherson, which began at the end of August. The coming days and weeks are going to be essential, because afterwards there will be bad weather, mud and the big maneuvers will be more complicated. On both sides, the communication is very locked, It is difficult to know exactly what is happening on the ground. On the Russian side, the position is difficult to hold, because the Kremlin army is cornered to a river, the Dnieper.
Russians declared that they wanted to make this city a fortress. So far, there are no tangible signs that their army look for to retreat. The Russians are now receiving reinforcements from the men they have mobilized. This can help them defend, but it seems insufficient to help them regain significant ground via an offensive, explains France Télévisions journalist Luc Lacroix.
