A proposal for the Kherson offensive.
I don't know who Def Mon is but I know he speaks russian, is intimately familiar with Ukraine geography village by village and is followed by most of the experts I follow. His specialty seems to be following Russian social media to be able to determine where exactly battle lines are. Oh, and he hates the russians. Ex-military I assume.
Anyway, as far as I can figure, Ukraine's current offensive is an attempt to encircle russian troops north of the Dneiper River, just as he proposed. The Russians emptied out south Ukraine to re-enforce their failing Donbas offensive. So fingers crossed for what Ukraine is doing. When an army collapses it often happens quite rapidly. Just reading Marc Bloch's Strange Defeat on the fall of France in 1940.
And a little more good news this weekend. The Russian Popasna advance is starting to retreat.
