In another stunning victory, Ukraine has liberated Kherson after the surge in Russian troops failed to stem the flow of losses. Ukrainian tactics have targeted Russian supply chains, the Russian forces were exposed on the western bank of the Dnipro River. The Russian leadership were aware they were unable to supply troops on the west bank of the Dnipro River and withdrew forces brought about by the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

The sight of President Zelensky walking the streets of Kherson just days after liberation is one of the great military victories. Likewise, this defeat after announcing their partial mobilisation adds further humiliation to Russian President Putin’s failed special military operation. Yeah, this is a special military operation alright, this invasion of Ukraine will be studied by military strategists for generations to come. The case studies of this conflict will form the basis of how to lose a war. There will be further speculation whether these stunning failures will bring on Putin’s demise and the collapse of Russia on a scale of the 1991 failure of the USSR.
