Ukraine says scores of Russians killed in Kherson fighting
Reuters ^ | 7/30/2022 | Max Hunder and Pavel Polityuk

The Ukrainian military said on Saturday it had killed scores of Russian soldiers and destroyed two ammunition dumps in fighting in the Kherson region, the focus of Kyiv's counter-offensive in the south and a key link in Moscow's supply lines.

Rail traffic to Kherson over the Dnipro River had been cut, the military's southern command said, potentially further isolating Russian forces west of the river from supplies in occupied Crimea and the east.

Defence and intelligence officials from Britain, which has been one of Ukraine's staunchest allies in the West since Moscow's Feb. 24 invasion, portrayed Russian forces as struggling to maintain momentum.

Ukraine has used Western-supplied long-range missile systems to badly damage three bridges across the Dnipro in recent weeks, cutting off Kherson city and - in the assessment of British defence officials - leaving Russia's 49th Army stationed on the west bank of the river highly vulnerable.

The Uke cheerleading is done by those who have no idea what is going on, and just remember that Russia is bad because the 1980s movies said so.

1980s? Last week the Russian defense minister promised to recreate the USSR on Russian state TV. Then yesterday Russia murdered 50 POW in scenes reminiscent of Katyn. No genuine conservative will ever “cheer” that on.

Interesting the Uke army offensive is destroying the bridges they would need to cross if they really really expected to move East, eh?

Well, what Z is doing is recruiting Poles to come takeover police and security duties in Western Ukraine so more Uke men ( and women) can be hunted down and forcibly recruited into military fodder for the Eastern front

More Russian ammo dumps..... Up in smoke. Some nice nighttime pyrotechnics. The Russian are having a tough time with their ammo dumps. There is no concealment or hiding them because US intel sees them. Use you imagination how. Then forwards the targeting information to the Ukies

If Putin is getting hammered this bad from a 3rd world country, imagine his losses against NATO? He cannot cross rivers and there are many to cross going west.

More Russian ammo dumps in Kherson hit today. Ukraine confident to strike in daytime, not just night.

LOL, that's just as ridiculous as the RuZZian propaganda piece on how Poland was going to take all of western Ukraine.

RE: The Ukrainian military said on Saturday it had killed scores of Russian soldiers

Ok. Here’s the other question — how many Ukrainians were killed in the process?

Yes, it is hilariously ignorant. Only the dimmest bulbs are gaslit by such Putinist psywar. Poland has been Ukraine’s greatest supporter. And that was before in one week Shoigu promised USSR 2.0 and Kremlin filth murdered 50 POW in scenes Poles will equate with Katyn. Poland is boiling with rage at Putinist Russia and already executing plans to have the most powerful army in Europe. Surely, that is another “win” for Putin there. lol.

Wow! I figured only at night! _____ I think the Kherson railway bridge was hit at night.

No bridges, no ammo, it sucks to be in the Rus invading army. They must be stealing food and drink and vodka from the local populations.

It happened while Putin was in Sochi getting so much chemo and steroids that his hands turned gray and blue.
