Ukraine has claimed some success in its offensive in the south, which began during the weekend. The General Staff said, "the enemy suffered losses and withdrew from the village of Mykolaivka, Kherson region, which led to panic among servicemen of other units of the armed forces of the Russian Federation."

If Russian forces have withdrawn from Mykolaivka, it would represent a gain of several kilometers for Ukrainian units.

Mykolaivka sits near one of the two major river crossings for the lower Dnipro. This now means any transit must come from Kherson and potentially puts Kherson at risk of being cut off.

This amounts to a push of 30+ km in a week by UKR forces.

UA should continue to push on...

They will win. At some point RuZZia will tire of the losses. Total casualties probably above 75K now (KIA,WIA,MIA,POW). Maybe 100k.
