It would appear that the Russian troops, poorly supplied with no reliable escape routes on the Kherson bridgehead are a sizable prize for the Ukrainian military if they are capable. Also Russian aviation will be very vulnerable trying to support those hard pressed troops. IMHO this s a unique opportunity for the Ukrainians to deliver such a hard blow to the Russians that will have huge political implications and just might end this war. Imagine photos of hundreds or even thousands of Russian POWs and the effect on the Russian military and politicians. In your opinion are the Ukrainians capable of seizing this unique opportunity and winning a crucial battle?

One analyst speculates (https://twitter.com/LanguageIearner/status/1564440944782573570?cxt=HHwWhIC8nYSwgbYrAAAA), that it is not a coincidence that this offensive and the bridge cuts coincide with Russian unit rotations - when new and old units are both on the wrong side of the River, conducting their handover.

Not only more to catch, but more to burn through their supplies quicker.
