Russian troops defending the city of Kherson are 'highly vulnerable' to attack after Ukraine destroyed or damaged bridges linking it with the rest of its occupied territory, British military intelligence says.
Putin's men are now relying on pontoon bridges and ferries to move troops, vehicles and supplies across the Dnipro River after Ukraine blew up Antonovsky Bridge, which is Russia's main road route into and out of the city.
Two other bridges - the Antonovsky Rail Bridge and Nova Khakokva hydroelectric dam bridge - have also been damaged in recent days, and are not fully operational.
The next-closest bridge spanning the Dnipro - Ukraine's main river which splits the country down the middle - is at Zaporizhzhia, some 130 miles from Kherson and in the middle of a city that Ukraine controls and has heavily defended.

'Russia's 49th Army is stationed on the west bank of the Dnipro River and now looks highly vulnerable.
'Similarly, Kherson city, the most politically significant population centre occupied by Russia, is now virtually cut off from the other occupied territories.
'Its loss would severely undermine Russia's attempts to paint the occupation as a success.'
Ukraine is also thought to have damaged or destroyed multiple bridges spanning the Inhulets River which flows north out of Kherson towards the city of Kryvyi Rih.
That means the Kherson region has been split in two: With the city on one side and an open and difficult-to-defend area of countryside to the east.
Kyiv's men are now pushing south from Kryvyi Rih into that area of countryside, with British intel suggesting they have established a toe-hold spanning the Inhulets.
Russian troops in the area now face the unenviable task of having to hold the countryside with no obvious route of retreat if they fail.

are we gonna give another $100 billion to the deep state for a bridge or we have to wait until Zelensky finishes his Vogue photoshoot?
good artillery provides a ring of steel around the infantry.
.. and from what we have recently read artillery is Russia’s strong suit.
JUst looking at your post history and you registered 2020 and all you post in ukrainian crap. How much is ukraine paying you to post here LOL
I thought this war was going to be over in 48 hours. Now I can see that it’s being perpetuated by both sides for money and propaganda.
All maxi pad does is post pro war crap.
The bright future of Ukraine after they have defeated the Russians:

You evidently missed my posts on the 50% collapse of Fox News ratings after their collaboration in The Steal as well as Tucker Carlson’s coverup of his bro-mance with Hunter Biden when the laptop from hell first appeared. LOL!
Can’t the Russians just hire some illegal aliens in this country to teach them how to swim across a river? Easy Peasy.
Note to the DM: Interesting photo credits in your Ukraine reporting.
Really inspires confidence in its accuracy.
NOT.
where in that glorious “future” will hunter biden snort coke, sit on the national gas company again and be the bank machine for the deep state?
Trump asks Putin to hand over dirt on Hunter Biden: Ex-President claims Russian leader ‘knows’ why ‘the mayor of Moscow’s wife gave Joe’s son $3.5million’
The Antonovsky bridge is strategically important for/to BOTH the Ukrainians and Russians. If the Russians need to learn to swim across a river, then the Ukrainians will need to likewise learn to swim across the same river.
Blow up Rus ammunition dumps. Blow up Antonofsky bridge. This sucks! For Rooskie invaders.
He first posted that the Russians are trapped in Kherson early in April.
And you posted in February that Kiev would fall within days.
I seem to remember at least one other time the Russian Army was trapped like rats, with a river to their back. I believe it was Stalingrad, didn’t work out to well for the Germans.
If Putin could just chop off Zelenskys head and send it to Biden in a cardboard box , this whole thing could be over already
Buryayts and Dagestani and Syrian contract fighters are going to swim the river to resupply Kherson? LOL!
GOOD!
RUSSIAN SCUM!
KILL ‘EM ALL!
