Russian forces cling to west bank of Dnipro ‘against military logic,’ trapped by Kremlin’s annexation claims:

Ukrainian forces are gaining ground in Kherson Oblast.

They are liberating villages and pushing towards the western bank of the Dnipro River, to squeeze the Russian forces against it. The Russian lines in the region are collapsing as their position west of the river gets less tenable by the day.

Months of HIMARS missiles taking out their command and control centers have left the Russians struggling to coordinate their units west of the Dnipro. The crippled bridges across the river make it very slow and difficult to resupply them.

Military analysts who spoke to the Kyiv Independent agreed that the most effective thing for Russia to do would be to move to the eastern side of the river and establish their defenses there.

“If they were smart, they’d pull back to the east bank of the Dnipro,” said Phillips O’Brien, a professor of strategic studies at St. Andrew’s University in the U.K. “They’re stuck on the west bank, they’re having real trouble getting supplies across. So they’re trying to maintain a modern army with very weak supply lines.”

SEE IT: Map shows collapse of Russian forces in Ukraine:

A new map highlights how much ground Russian forces have lost as they weather a string of setbacks on the battlefield in parts of Ukraine.

Ukrainian forces embarked on a major counteroffensive against Russia in recent days and appear to have successfully expelled Russian forces from significant areas of land, according to a map released by Oleksii Reznikov, the minister of defense of Ukraine.

“#UAarmy’s autumn offensive, day by day. While the ‘russian parliament’ is intoxicated from the futile attempts at annexation, our soldiers continue moving forward. This is the best answer to any and all ‘referenda,’ ‘decrees,’ ‘treaties,’ and pathetic speeches,” Reznikov tweeted.
