Day 270: November 20
The Ukrainian Head of the Luhansk region stated that Russian forces are transferring the remnants of the Russian airborne units from the west bank of the Kherson region to the Luhansk region. Ukrainian General Staff already reported the increased concentration of Russian personnel in Luhansk, and many analysts agree that these forces will be allocated to the area where the Russians are suffering the highest losses in this region – the Kuzemivka area.
Here, the Ukrainians are assuming their positions in Novoselivka, while the Russians are still maintaining substantial control over Kuzemivka. Taking control over this small and seemingly insignificant village allowed the Ukrainians to change the situation in this region almost completely.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Novoselivske is one of the highest points in this region. What makes the situation for the Russians even worse is that the drop-off in altitude when you step into Kuzemivka is tremendous. The altitude decreases by around 50 meters every 500 meters. So, the central part of Kuzemivka is only 1 km away from the Ukrainian positions and 100 meters below them. If we look at the 3D map, we can get a sense of how significant is the change in elevation. This is the main reason why all Russian attempts to retake Novoselivka ended up with devastating defeats and losses.

Of all the mental aberrations in the world, chutzpah is the hardest for normal people to sympathize with. All but the stupidest Europeans are past the point of having had their fill of it coming from MicroPerv (zelenski) and “ukraine”...
Maybe if they tried a drive south towards Vasylivka and a landing at Enerhodar. But even that's pretty risky.
From what I’ve seen, that spit is very small, very flat, and wide-open. It would be suicide by artillery if they did anything more than just do a photo op and then leave.
The Russians artillery doesn’t have to be on the Spit to hit whatever is there.
