Kherson occupation: The Ukrainian city living in fear



Kherson, in southern Ukraine, has been under Russian occupation for almost six months. Information about what is happening there is limited as Russian occupation forces continue to tighten their grip.

Sky News spoke to people still inside and others who have recently escaped to understand whatโ€™s going on. All described a city, a region, living in fear.

  1. Russia and their allies are shelling daily along the 1500 km Ukrainian front around 60,000 to 70,000 rounds at key strategic locations. Strategic locations are where advancements allow the Russians and their allies to cut roads, bridges, and rail to stop supplies and troops being shipped to existing major buildups of the Ukrainian army. Higher altitude locations and fortified positions are of significance for military advantage. Also, key stratigic locations are where captured roads and rail will allow the Russians to improve their own logistics.

    When the Ukrainian defenses look weak along their very long front line (called the "zero line") due to massive Russian shelling, the Russians probe with troops. If these probes find weakness of Ukrainian resistance, the Russian troops and their allies pour in and start taking over. This process is being repeated along the entire 1500 km front where weakness is found. The object is not so much to take territory as it is to decimate the Ukrainian army and to take strategic positions.

    When Ukraine starts to move troops to strenghten where they are weak along the zero line, the Russians begin air operations to take out the moving troops. The more Ukraine moves its troop around, the more likely they get noticed and then missiled and bombed. Russia is taking out the Ukrainian troops on the zero line as well as anywhere they notice larger troop movements within Ukraine. Russia has the missiles and bombs to do so in abundance. The daily Ukrainian losses or horrific.

    Every day the Russians and their allies continue to grind down the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine). The grinding has ramped up significantly before colder weather comes. The colder weather means that dirt roads and fields turn to mud after rains since they don't dry out quickly. Also, got rumor via Hal Turner Radio show that Russia is going to yet again ramp up its "Special Military Operation" after August 24th.

    The grind is taking out so many Ukrainian troops. This was one of Putins stated goals for the Russian "Special Military Operation", that is to de-militarize Ukraine.

    The Ukrainian military and negotiation options are fading with each day's losses.

  2. Ukraine is now acting like a bad guy then a good guy. Attacking civilians in their home while Russian are eating good meals and taking a break. Ukraine should fight the Russian line. Russia got the right to do the same thing. Ukraine government is going down

  4. Russia should send Russian people to Kherson in order to keep kherson in russians hands a couple of S300 to protect the city from Ukrainian shelling, displace remaining ukrainians, it's not about controlling only the city but people too.
