AFU continues to recapture the settlements captured by Russian invaders. At the same time, in Kherson, the invaders will try to carry out Putin's order and will fight to the last.
About this Channel 24said military expert Oleg Zhdanov. He noted that the Russian occupiers are increasing the number of their group in the Kherson region.
There will be a tough battle in the Kherson region
Zhdanov noted that the occupiers are withdrawing from Kherson the FSB, the National Guard, collaborators and gauleiters. The same applies to the Kadyrovites, who are fighters of the National Guard. At the same time, the Russians are bringing in other battalion tactical groups from the reserve they had in the Melitopol area.
To date, the grouping of Russian troops on the right bank, unfortunately, is increasing. From a military point of view, I can assume that they will fight for Kherson. And this battle will be very difficult for us, – said the military expert.
He believes that the invaders are unlikely to find weapons that can surprise us. But the invaders are increasing the size of their group. This indicates that they will defend themselves and try to fulfill Putin's order without taking a step back.

Zhdanov also commented on the statements of Russian propagandists who claim that they have already repelled the offensive of our defenders in the Kherson region several times.
According to the military expert, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are probing the enemy’s defenses regarding his weak points.
There are counterattacks, but no counteroffensive. There are counterattacks in separate areas to test the strength of the enemy’s defense,” he explained.
Zhdanov added that Ukrainian soldiers are running out, trying to use remote methods of warfare – artillery, rocket artillery and aircraft. But they are not yet carrying out assault actions.
The counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region: the main thing
- Ukraine continues to liberate settlements in the Kherson region alone after another. According to Western military analysts, the Armed Forces of Ukraine can push the front to the Dnieper in the near future.
- At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine note that our military is not so far from Kherson. But you have to understand that they still have enough work ahead of them.
- Deputy of the Kherson Regional Council, serviceman of the TPO Sergey Khlan said that the Russians do not have the resources to keep the city in occupation for a long time. Due to logistical problems, there will be no street fighting for Kherson.
