The Armed Forces explain why Russians in Kherson Oblast are doomed: explosions inbound:

Details: According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian occupiers are accumulating their forces and resources in Kherson Oblast to deter the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to prepare for an offensive on the Kryvyi Rih and Mykolaiv fronts.

Russian troops have placed their ammunition depots either on the left side of the Dnipro or on the right side – squeezed tightly into the river bank so that they are not reached by Ukrainian weapons.

StratСom has noted that the positions of the Russians are 30-40 km away, which places their warehouses within reach of Ukrainian M-142 HIMARS.

Also, the Armed Forces of Ukraine stressed the importance of the Russian Federation not having a single large depot that would provide advanced units with ammunition and fuel at a distance of less than 10-15 km. Most Russian warehouses are at a distance of roughly 30 km from their advanced positions. —>READ MORE HERE

The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation has accused the USA of participating in the war on Ukraine’s side, claiming that Ukraine allegedly coordinates targets which are hit with HIMARS [high mobility artillery rocket systems – ed.] with Washington.

This coordination “allows Washington to stop any attacks if it isn’t satisfied with the target.”

Quote: “All of this proves beyond any doubt that Washington, despite claims of the White House and the Pentagon, is directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine.” —>READ MORE HERE
