You have no idea what they are doing

I do know what they’re doing. They’re using a ferry instead of a bridge. You don’t do that when the bridge is ‘fine’ because it is horrendously inefficient.

I asked you a question but you dodged it. Let’s put an answer on the record from you so we can review it in the future:

To wit:

When the Russians retreat from the north bank and abandon Kherson, will you spin it as a Russian feint, a goodwill gesture, or will you recognize it as a Russian defeat?

Which will it be?

You “know” but you have offered no evidence that you do, so let me help you with a report that is probably pretty accurate:
“In general, on the counterattack on Kherson.

1. In the area of ​​Blagodatny, the enemy attacked, suffered losses, retreated to the starting points.
2. In the area of ​​​​Snigirevka, they attacked, suffered losses, retreated to the starting points.
3. In the area of ​​​​Andreevka, the situation is not completely clear, there are reports that the enemy advanced several kilometers to the village of Sukhoi Stavok and even took it. So far, without photo / video evidence, the fighting continues there.
4. In the Davydov Brod area, the front remains stable.
5. In the area of ​​Vysokopolye, Olgovka and Potemkino, the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were unsuccessful.

Accordingly, if the enemy fails to achieve some success and consolidate them in the area of ​​​​the village of Sukhoi Stavok, the “offensive” will turn out to be completely rotten.”

The Military Summary Channel will shortly give a report on events in very granular detail.

Not looking good, is it?

As for your fixation on ferries, as I pointed out, in addition to ferries there are pontoon bridges (and airlift), which are contingency measures. The bridges are not down and they get repaired by the Uzbeks with their cement mixer after the odd HIMARS strike. You obviously aren’t acquainted with engineering, but the MLRS systems they use currently aren’t close to powerful enough to structurally damage the bridges. So, contrary to the bogus stories planted in the media by the Biden administration/MI6/ and the Ukies, the Russians have use of the bridges with the occasional interruption and plenty of contingency resources.

If the UFA takes Kherson, it would be a defeat, but not the end of the war.

Now go troll people who think British sources and the US MSM are “news”.

Last I hear, the UFA has lost over 1,200 men and a lot of armor. Use Google Earth and look at what the UFA had to advance across. Then you might understand something...but, wait, trolls don’t care about understanding anything or the truth.
