KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine’s troops secured multiple bridgeheads on the eastern bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson region in fighting that the country’s marine corps described Friday as having left nearly 3,500 Russians killed or wounded and dozens of ammunition depots, tanks, armored vehicles and other weaponry destroyed.

I know it isn’t but the headline seems like something out of WW2.

Sort of the wrong direction, but I suspect you knew that.

Brietbart needs to keep on the war. This is old news. They crossed the Dnieper River about two weeks ago.

Both sides are exerting pressure on the front lines in different places. The Russians are pressing hard around Aavdivka and Ukraine has found that the Russians have not left enough troops in southern Kherson to defend well against river crossings. The Ukrainian longer range artillery and drone strikes are also causing the Russians logistics problems and problems assembling men and materiel for assaults on Ukrainian positions around both Aavdivka and Kherson. For example, their are no longer any safe bases for Russian attack helicopters in Donetsk. Better use of artillery and drones also make Aavdivka easier to defend without the losses suffered by Ukraine around Bakhmut.
Some pro-Russian commentators here seem to think that capturing Aavdivka will prove decisive, but I doubt that would be the case even if they can capture it. The Ukrainians know just as well as the Russians how to build new defensive fortifications with minefields behind Aavdivka and the losses suffered attacking Aavdivka will leave insufficient Russian reserves to press the assault. The Ukrainians have also found a few weak points near Donetsk where the Russians have withdrawn units to assault Aavdivka and are pressing the Russians there. Right now it looks like the Russians have to either divert troops to southern Kherson or risk having Crimea once again cut off from their other occupied territory.

I know you mean it sarcastically.
But you need to give them credit for “thinking big.”
Moscow?
Crimea?
Illusions of grandeur.
