Arestovych said that Ukrainian forces organized three crossings of the river and created a bridgehead from where they targeted Russian forces, who lost dozens of pieces of equipment and at least a hundred troops. He said that there were Ukrainian losses but the Russian BTG was wiped out.
Kherson was seized by Russian troops early in the war and its liberation would be gradual, according to Arestovych, who said Kyiv's forces would not storm the region's main city.
The Russian Ministry of Defense, which Newsweek contacted for comment, did not mention the Kherson region in its daily update on Thursday although it rarely acknowledges military setbacks.
Arestovych didn't specify when the attack took place. However, his comments chime [?] with those made by the head of the Kherson regional military association, Hennadiy Lahuta, who said on Thursday that Ukrainian forces were progressing in the Kherson region and had "liberated" 20 small towns and villages.
The Kherson region forms part of a strip of land Russia occupies between Crimea and the Donbas and is strategically important for Moscow. Controlling the coast has allowed Russia to block Ukraine from exporting grain and other products from its Black Sea ports...
Meanwhile, in its daily assessment on the 100th day since the start of President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, British defense officials said that Russia "is now achieving tactical success in the Donbas," although it pointed out that "none of the strategic objectives" that Putin intended "have been achieved."
The U.K. Ministry of Defence said that Russian forces "appear to hold the initiative over Ukrainian opposition" in the region. It now controls over 90 percent of the Luhansk region over which it is likely to have "complete control over in the next two weeks," the defense ministry added.

Puts new meaning on the phrase “tickling the keys”...
Yeah, but for every Ukrainian win of a battle, Russia wins 100. What’s there to celebrate?
(Just thinking like the pro-Russia bots here on FR).
Projecting again Zelensky...
The Anti-Russia Bellingcat James Bond Christopher Steele Crowd have been doing bang up business for more than three months now.
Their Bot Machine Is Bigger But Russia is trying to fight back a torrent on Tass in the last 24 hours that’s for sure.
An d here all along the putards have been telling me the Ukes are surrounded, cut off and starving for months now..All that is left is “mopping up”
LOL!
😲
I’ve seen it before but is that him on the left?
Guess I’ve never really paid attention to that.
A couple homos. Zelensky is supposed to be one of them.
Yeah its called silly acting.
Of course the putards actually believe he is playing with his wang....par for the course for them I guess.
The Russians seem okay with some losses as they play the long game.
(actually believe he is playing with his)
OK I’m now officially confused.
What IS going on there?
(I probably don’t really want to know)
Russia has taken most of what they want. Over the next few months they will have everything they need. The oil, the gas and the black sea. After that you can expect the cease fire agreement. Russia does not need building in their part of Ukraine. They just need the oil and the shore line. Buildings just provide targets. They are happy to flatten the whole thing.

Ukrainian forces there were annihilated. This is Baghdad Bob level crap being posted by Ukie Nazi fans.
😲
Smart analysts have been since at least the Maidan coup in 2014 that base case scenario for Russia is to permanently dismember and neutralize Ukraine so that it is not a strategic threat.
Imagine if an independent Texas was pushed into military alliance with Mexico and China, while an internal war was launched on Anglos and english speakers in Texas? What would Americans think?
Stupid neocons in DC in their cynicism and arrogance thought they could overcome this. If not, they are perfectly have to kill tens of thousands of Ukrainians keeping Russia occupied.
Sorry, I lost interest because I never knew who was making big gains. Everyday there was another story to contradict the previous.
At one point I thought Russia was about to collapse.
If the Ukrainians push the Russians east of the Dnieper, the water supply to Crimea will be imperiled.
It’s like watching a tennis match.
