Ukraine has made significant advances close to Kherson to the point of controlling the water supply in Crimea. Professor Michael Clarke, who specialises in defence studies, explained Ukraine is within striking distance of the supply. Speaking to Sky News, he said: "The Ukrainians are conducting quite a big offensive to take back Kherson. "They've opened up a 50-mile front to the northeast of Kherson and there are reports over the last 24 hours that the Ukrainians may have got as far as Kiselivka which is quite close to Kherson."They may be within striking distance of Nova Kakhovk which is a dam which controls the water supply in Crimea.
"Ukraine would love to retake that and be back in control of that supply.
"We're keeping a very close eye on those two areas because that battle is so far developing in Ukraine's favour as the days go on."

Russian point of view.
Unluckily for you shared by the majority of people in the liberated areas.
You release our grain, you will have water if not, Nova Kakhovk is a damn well busted?
Cover for what?
Russia has been accused of blowing up humanitarian aid convoys in the last 48 hours.
Don’t forget it practically left all of Mariupol without any drinking water for weeks after destroying the infrastructure there... And Russia’s answer to criticism was effectively to tell the 100,000 citizens to surrender or suck it up while the Red Cross itself says the Russian attacks were as much a part of the problem as Azov.
Ukraine should do what Russia is doing with the oil and gas. Turn the taps down to a trickle and hike the price up.
Depends upon how you define "separated" and how you define "military."
1. The economy of the U.S. is interwoven with that of the rest of the world (esp. First World countries). We cannot simply retreat to behind our borders and expect to thrive.
2. Rivals such as China have no need to resort to military means (except to threaten) when they can wage economic, psychological, biological, and cultural warfare upon us (catchwords: Fentanyl; Wuhan Virus).
Your other observations about suspicious posters are spot on! But what do you propose we do about it?
Regards,
Reading the bloodthirsty, ignorant comments under this article make me ashamed and embarrassed to be American.
Right! Putin needs to croak asap!
Lemme guess, you’re in the Azov battalion?
Yes, Russia was also accused in the Ukrainian shelling of its own city of Donetsk. I wonder why the mercs are put on death row but the knowingly lying reporters aren’t.
You’re maintaining an enemies list on Free Republic?
You have become what you hate, congratulations
You have become everything you complain about, congratulations
You think the Russians can destroy rivers?
Ukraine stopped sending electricity and water to Crimea in 2014. The Russians solved the electricity problem but Crimean agriculture has been dead since then.
And before you start crying about human rights just remember that Russia shut off gas supplies to Ukraine in the middle of winter and people died because of it.
While I am HONORED to be on your Nixon’s Enemies List, I do find it ‘interesting’ that your side is tracking specific FReepers.
What do you intend to do with that information, if I may ask?
Since you put me on your Russian bot list:
You people seem to be too thick to understand that some of us believe in America First.
I don’t give a dam about Ukraine. They are no better than Russia. And not worth billions of dollars or one US soldier’s live.
As I have said before if you are so concerned about Ukraine why don’t you grab a gun and go defend it.
You have a German flag on your profile. Are you even an American?
Were you a hallway monitor in junior high? How proud your rat parents must be.
Check those screen-names I've listed, and review their posting history, before you start holding a sermon to me.
I "hate" nefarious entities who adopt false personas (and who probably maintain multiple accounts) to propagate lies here on Free Republic, to disrupt "good-faith" discussions, to sow dissension and undermine the spirit of cooperation among conservatives. I "complain about" posters who seek to derail discussions and willfully disseminate disinformation.
I, myself, am NOT a nefarious entity. My postings reflect who I truly am (within the bounds of OpSec, I have included sufficient biographical information, when relevant, to underscore my positions). I post on a great variety of subjects. My screen-name speaks for itself. I have no secret agenda.
I realize that "calling out" individual posters may serve as a "wake-up call" for other, more-complacent FReepers. It is not my intent to myself sow discord - but I realize that it has reached a point where this has become unavoidable.
I stand by my position - but welcome any constructive criticism from other FReepers; if anyone can disprove my allegations, I would be more than happy to be convinced of the opposite!
Regards,
You sound nuttier than squirrel turds.
There was nothing outlandish about the points made to you.
You’re screaming about propaganda and filth because you were so traumatized by hearing an opinion you don’t like.
Put down the keyboard and get some fresh air.
Your behavior is disgusting.
You are mentally unwell.
I demand to be put on your enemies list.
