Kherson region in the south of Ukraine will be “definitely releasedRussian forces until September, a local official said on Sunday. “It can be said that the Kherson region will be liberated forever by September, and all the plans of the occupiers will fail.“Sergey Khlan, adviser to the head of the Kherson regional military administration loyal to Kyiv, said in an interview with Ukrainian television.
In recent weeks, the Ukrainian army has begun to reassert its foothold in the region, helping to supply arms to the West. “We can talk about a turn on the ground. In recent operations, the armed forces of Ukraine had the upper handSergey Khlan assured. “Frankly speaking, our army is advancing, we are moving from the defensive phase to the counter-offensive“.
According to Sergey Khlan, the Ukrainian strikes, which targeted two strategic bridges, as well as ammunition depots and Russian command posts, served to prepare the ground for the ongoing ground offensive. He added that the occupying Russian forces could not continue the repair of the Antonivka bridge, so they faced difficulties in moving the heavy weapons to Kherson.
On March 3, the Russians took control of the main city of the region, Kherson. It was then the first major city to be attacked by Moscow since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24. A vital region for Ukrainian agriculture, it borders the Crimean peninsula, which was annexed by Moscow in 2014.
