The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to repulse the enemy in the Kherson direction. The President of Russia understands the difficulty of his soldiers, but forbids them to retreat.
From the first weeks of the war, Kherson has been under fire and under the control of the Russians. However, in September 2022, the situation changes – it is increasingly difficult for the invaders to hold the line.
How Putin forbade his army to retreat
According to the American edition of The New York Times, in recent weeks, the Russian president has been actively involved in planning a strategy for the war against Ukraine. The leader of the terrorist country rejected the request of his commanders to leave Kherson.
Leaving Kherson would allow the Russian military to retreat across the Dnieper in an organized manner, preserving equipment and saving the lives of soldiers. writes an American newspaper.
“Surrender of the city” by the Russians would mean the complete defeat of the Kremlin in this war, so Putin holds out to the last for the opportunity to control Kherson. However, his order “to be to the end” only demoralizes and demotivates the army of invaders.
There are not enough soldiers in Russia – mobilization is the last hope
On September 21, the President of Russia announced a partial mobilization throughout the territory of his state . 300 thousand citizens of the aggressor state should be called up for service.
The New York Times notes that the Kremlin does not have enough troops to continue the offensive. Also, the enemy army lacks weapons and high-tech equipment.
American General Mark Milli said that the “strategic initiative” is on the side of Ukraine. But, obviously, it's too early to relax.
The area around Kherson is a critical theater of war that has profound strategic implications for Kyiv and Moscow. – writes The New York Times.
The aggressor is pinned to the wall – what is Putin's plan
Let us remind you that because Putin is driven into a dead end, he can use nuclear weapons. An ex-employee of the Security Service of Ukraine analyzed this issue.
In his opinion, the Russian president is resorting to the destruction of civilian infrastructure. The use of nuclear weapons will be if the other plan of the dictator does not work.
The leader of the terrorist country is still planning to make Ukrainians freeze this winter and take to rallies against the Zelensky authorities. That is why, in fact, it attacks critical infrastructure.
