“Except that the Ukrainians liberated Kherson and retook the Kinburn Peninsula.”

the Russians withdrew and left them an empty city, town, open cow land.”
Why?
Because the Ukrainian military cut off Russias ability to supply its forces. It was a very smart Ukrainian stratgey that paid off.
The Kinburn split controls the Black Sea area at the mouth of the Dnieper and Bug Rivers. It’s a strategic part of Crimea.
Neither the Ukrainians nor the Russians are talking about it except for the Ukrainians admitting they have troops there.
