Good map of Ukraine's advance in the Kherson region.

This is from yesterday. Before the advance there was no bulge.. There are some reports, unconfirmed, that Snihuvrika has been captured too, or perhaps besieged.

Be careful guys; thats a very small bulge. Don't let them close it behind you. oldsoftie May 2022 #3
That was my immediate thought too Sanity Claws May 2022 #5
Looks like the Ukrainians could do just that to the Russians just west of them. panader0 May 2022 #6
Yes it does look like they could move West & cut off a significant area. oldsoftie May 2022 #7

I would rather have seen a counter offensive further SW towards Odesa, but I'm no strategist either.

Perhaps the terrain provides some cover to the Ukraine Army, or so I hope.

And as the other response to my post said, maybe the topography is a factor too

logistically it creates complete headaches for Putin's goal, and I don't many truths to the chatter recently from Russia's arm forces but apparently many will be ending their tenure and returning home at the "end of May".
