Ukrainian troops have taken four villages back from Russian occupation in the south near the city of Kherson, a Ukrainian military source tells CNN. Their main “target” is Kherson, the source added.
“The operation began at night with massive shelling of Russian positions and the rear,” the source, who CNN is not naming for security reasons, said.
“The main direction of the attack was on Pravdyne. We hit their infantry from the DNR (Donetsk People's Republic) and LNR (Luhansk People's Republic), and they fled. The Russian landing force fled after them," the source told CNN.
“We have now liberated four villages. Their first line of defense has been broken through in three places,” the military source said.
The source said the village names are Nova Dmytrivka, Arkhanhel's'ke, Tomyna Balka and Pravdyne.
“Many of them were killed and captured, and a lot of [Russian] military vehicles [were destroyed].”
“We'll see how it goes from here. Our target is Kherson," according to the source.

I’m going to need a source other than fake news CNN before I even waste my time with this
It actually went very very poorly for Ukraine.
Someone with some sense needs to help them negotiate a peace. Enough Ukrainians have died, this is ridiculous.
The irony is the folks in the DNR and LNR are from those villages and they don’t want to be “liberated.”
“We hit their infantry from the DNR (Donetsk People’s Republic) and LNR (Luhansk People’s Republic), and they fled. The Russian landing force fled after them,” the source told CNN.
“We have now liberated four villages.”
All of these reports, from both sides, have to be taken with a massive grain of salt. But I do think Ukraine will eventually recover Kherson.
Is there anything left to take back?

If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
Ukraine did take back one village but were not successful at surrounding the Russians.
They had one successful punch, everywhere else were taking devasting losses. Air will be available now as well. It’s a shame. Nobody seems interested in preserving life.
You are triggering the Little Pukin Butt Lickers!
From where, Comrade Bulwyf?

I’m sorry. You keep supporting wef and Soros. Good day.

This would indicate a large salient driven west of Kherson in the direction of the Gulf where the Dnipro and Bug Rivers meet the Black Sea.
Possibly some Russian forces are now isolated further west along the Bug River.
On the other hand the salient may also be vulnerable to attacks from the east or towards Mykolaiv.
No, that is someone named Max Seddon who is saying that Igor Strelkov said that.
True, but I have my doubts about whether the Russians are capable of counter-counter-attacking at this point.
These are small residential, non-industrial villages in flat, open, treeless agricultural countries.
