It appears to me that Russia is baiting Ukraine to take territory and then face the task of trying to take a city Russia holds, such as Kherson. If Ukaine wishes to oust Russia from Kherson it will have to mass forces necessary to conduct the block to block fighting that Russia did when it captured Mariupol. Remember that?
Even if this is not a Russian plan (i.e., baiting the Ukrainians) the outcome will be the same. Ukraine will have to conduct a frontal assault on the city of Kherson and, in order to do this, will have to mass troops and equipment that will be easy targets for Russian artillery, missiles and bombs. Ukraine has no military power to counter what Russia can unleash. So, if your panties are in a knot over “Russia losing territory”, I suggest you take a nap on the fainting couch and calm down.
Mass drone attacks have replaced Moscow’s plans.
“If Ukaine wishes to oust Russia from Kherson it will have to mass forces necessary to conduct the block to block fighting that Russia did when it captured Mariupol.”
I’d just surround them and wait for them to starve. It’d only take a week or so. Once the conscripts have slaughtered the officers who are treating them this way they’ll gladly surrender.

You are incorrect. Ukraine has been gaining ground by double flanking Russian positions and shutting down Russian logistical support. With winter coming on Russia will have a hard time holding ground.
The Ukes haven’t had to fight those kinds of street battles for the most part. They just cut supply lines and keep moving.
You are correct, but since Ukies have their eyes in the sky, all that massed Russians and the recent massed Russian conscripts will do....
Will be seen in advance by NATO an US satellites and AWACS types and conveyed within 15 minutes (almost real time) to Ukraine command in Kiev.
Where are the Russian AWACS equivalent in Ukraine? Nowhere to be seen. Russia also has no good satellites that can effectively observe Ukraine. Kazan’s failure you are backing Rus losers.
