Make it so, number 1.

Normally, you wouldn't expect this much public discussion to preserve secrecy, but there's really nothing secret about this anyway. The Kherson salient across the Dnieper is just screaming to be the focus of a Ukrainian counterattack. And of course, the attacks on the bridges and attempt to isolate the area logistically are something of which the Russians are aware of anyway because they're on the receiving end.

From the "pro-Russian" perspective, you could spin this as setting things up for a ceasefire/peace settlement. The Ukrainian recovery of that territory enables them to claim enough success to negotiate a settlement over other territories. I'm not at all convinced that's Ukraine's intention, but Russia could easily afford to lose the territory north/west of the Dnieper if that was the price for keeping everything else.

U.S. personnel and weapons are most likely doing the “shaping” in hopes of extending and expanding the conflict.

[DesertRhino]

Our side has the best buzzwords. Looks like they are unable to attack, Now they are “shaping”. Sounds like a war college student.

[WMarshal]

Congratulations on showing some self-commenting restraint.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

Fake, like virtually everything else American media spews on this topic.

[joma89]

This reminds me of Baghdad Bob saying there were no Americans in downtown Baghdad.

Maybe in the shape of a circle of wagons.

Maybe you had better get informed by this instead of focus on worthless idiots shooting their mouths off for web site hits.

This will explain to you exactly what went on in the Donbass and what will come in the future.

It seems more likely that what is “shaping” the battlefield is Russian artillery. “Shaping something means moving its contours. Are the Ukes making the Russkis change their positions? No evidence is shown. Just more yakking.

“Today, during the day, on the direct instructions of V. Zelensky, Ukrainian troops attempted an offensive in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions in three directions.

As a result of the active defense of the grouping of Russian troops, the AFU units suffered heavy losses.

During the fighting, 26 Ukrainian tanks, 23 infantry fighting vehicles, nine other armored combat vehicles were destroyed, two Su-25 attack aircraft were shot down.

The enemy’s losses in manpower amounted to more than 560 servicemen. Another attempt at offensive actions of the enemy failed miserably.” - RuMoDsaid
