Yeah, sure.
Those Ukies have one helluva army.
Its more effective if you post multiple articles less than five minutes apart per their timestamps.
Great news!
Not to worry USA Marshall Plan 2.0 will rush in and rebuild them even though our own are self destructing as we speak.
Who is Yanushevich?
Also, how much ammunition you expend in defense is generally determined by how intense the attacks are. I don't believe Ukraine has the offensive combat power at Kherson that the Russians did at Mariupol, so it is going to take longer for the Russians to exhaust their munitions.
I'm not saying the Ukrainians won't retake Kherson, because I believe they will eventually. I'm just saying that it isn't a magic bullet that can necessarily force a quick victory. A lot will depend on how determined the Russians will be to hold it despite the unfavorable geographic and logistic situation.
Related info I posted earlier:
The big chatter (unconfirmed rumors) for today is as follows:
The Russian 3rd Army Corps is being partially deployed to Ukraine right now.
Average estimates of 8,000 troops on the move would appear to be reliable.
The 3rd Army Corps is deploying with thirty to forty year old equipment that has been recently serviced and made adequate for action.
Indications of exactly how the 3rd will be deployed are apparently the source of much conflict between the Red Army leadership and the Kremlin.
Leadership on the ground in Ukraine wants these new and inexperienced forces deployed as replacements who will take up positions with more experienced troops.
Leadership on the ground in Ukraine also covets the fresh equipment of the 3rd Army Corps to replace losses for front-line units.
Kremlin leadership wants the 3rd Army Corps to deploy as cohesive units to prevent the low morale of veteran combat units from affecting the new troops. This move will lead to degraded veteran units eventually being combined or subsumed into other units with deleterious impacts on the careers of the officers whose units are disbanded.
3rd Army Corps is composed of troops with a reported average age of 36. Some troops are reportedly in their sixties.
NATO analysis of the 3rd Army Corps is that if it deploys as a cohesive entity it will likely be used to hold and defend positions which will free up veteran combat units for offensive operations.
He also confirmed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have launched an offensive in all directions in southern Ukraine, but added that the authorities can only provide official information from the military.

I’ve got one word for what’s going to happen to the Ukraine army, “cauldron”.
He also confirmed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have launched an offensive in all directions in southern Ukraine, but added that the authorities can only provide official information from the military. “We must remain calm and not interfere with our military,” Yanushevich stated.

Hey, let’s give them yet another tranche of money and material,
