Ukraine’s campaign to retake Russian-held territory in the south appeared to take a major step forward as officials on Monday announced the start of a long-awaited counter-offensive against Moscow’s forces.
As explosions were reported across the southern frontline, multiple officials confirmed Ukraine’s armed forces had “breached” Russia’s first line of defences around occupied Kherson in social media posts.
"The first line of Russian defences on the Kherson front has been breached,” Sergey Khlan, an aide to the ousted Ukrainian head of the Kherson region, said on the Telegram messaging app.
"Today there was a powerful artillery attack on enemy positions in... the entire territory of the occupied Kherson region," he said.
"This is the announcement of what we have been waiting for since the spring - it is the beginning of the de-occupation of Kherson region."

Its a trap Jim.
it’s third time you posted this today.
Breaking developments...
Keep em coming! Thanks!
But, it makes no difference how much false hope we give the Ukrainian or how many die so long as our political establishment can spending and laundering money in Ukraine and feeding the defense industry.
“Breaking developments...”
And it’s all GOOD NEWS!!!
“It’s time to put up or shut up — How much do you want to bet this “offensive” will fail...miserably?”
I want a piece of this action.
Here’s my wager: I say Ukraine forces Russia to quit Kherson by September 30th. If they do then you donate $100 to Free Republic.
If they don’t then I donate $100 to Free Republic.
Is it a bet?

Kiev announce it... that’s very nice of them.
Here’s what the Russians have to say:
“When the Khokhol is not cut for a very long time, he himself rushes to the knife.
Brief description of today’s Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Ukraine has suffered major casualties today”
I suspect this is far closer to the truth than the MI6/Zelensky spin on the day’s events. Attacking across the steppe? Likely suicidal..a meal for artillery and rockets. I will see what the Military Summary Channel has to say.
And will the stupid posts about bridges never end? The UFA hasn’t shown the fire power to do more than damage roadways, which are easily fixed since the Russians don’t have to do bogus environmental studies, engage in bidding, deal with unions, etc. Their engineers just show up and fix stuff. Structural damage would be more serious, but there’s no evidence that any has occurred, and HIMARS alone can’t do it. They aren’t designed for it...just a 23.5 kg warhead.
Excellent update. Thank you.
Sounds like the story found its way to the shill squad on FR...
"...Осторожно, лениво работает ЦИПсО ВСУ 😂
На фоне провала ВСУ на Криворожско-Николаевском направлении, украинские специальные службы создали и показали украинской общественности удачное "контрнаступление" ВСУ на Херсон...."
The Great Counter Attack is starting! The Victory of the unstoppable Ukraine Army has begun and the Russians now know they are finished. The hero army, backed up by American wonder weapons, can not be pushed back! Watch as the Russians try to dig in and hold—they will fail and fall back to Crimea—then Russia itself! The Victory March is starting. Someone should write a great concerto to honor this time and the crushing defeat of Russia as a “great Power” (Ha ha). Send more money to finish Putin’s misrule of Russia. Now is the time to send in advisors and troops to finish the work and rebuild the nation of Ukraine. It should be a NATO Member NOW! A Member of the EU Today! And a commonwealth of America! With the wise Zelenskyy in charge—How can they NOT win?
Someone counted that it took $70 million in ordnance to make holes in the bridge and a dozen Uzbeks and one concrete mixer to fix it.
Let us give credit where credit is due.
The Telegraph does outstanding propaganda.
As Winston Churchill said, the mass media must protect us with a bodyguard of lies!
Ukraine Situation Report: Russia Building Pontoon Bridge Into Kherson
Or barges and ferries?
Kazan should take you up ezpeeze:
“There is no Ukrainian Kherson offensive. There will be no Ukrainian Kherson offensive.

“Watch as the Russians try to dig in and hold”
34th Mechanized Brigade (based out of Storozhevaya, Karachay-Cherkess Republic) completed their withdrawal from Kherson last week.
The 34th had arrived in Kherson with 60+ BMP, 18 self propelled howitzers, and 12 mortars. They reported leaving all of their vehicles “in place” as of 23 Aug 2022 while their 1800+ troops returned to their base.
I won’t call this a ‘rout’.
At least not yet.
