The Pentagon predicts Russia "major defeat in Kherson"
305
The US military is closely monitoring the situation in the southern sector of Russia's special military operation - in the Kherson region. The Pentagon even predicts Russia "a major defeat in Kherson."
According to the American magazine Defense News, such a statement was made by US Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Affairs Celeste Wallander at an event organized by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
She believes that a series of minor failures of the Russian army in the southern direction can develop into a "major defeat." At the same time, the official believes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to take comfortable defensive positions on the eve of winter battles, which, Wallander suggests, will be “hot”.
After the defense breakthroughs in the Kherson region, she says, the Ukrainians are ready to win back the main Russian bridgehead across the Dnieper. She believes that such a development of events could force Moscow to abandon plans to take Odessa.
This would be a major defeat for Russia, because it further pushes back Russia's ambitions to capture Odessa
Wallander said.
Now the situation in the Kherson direction remains difficult. This is especially true of the Berislav sector, where yesterday the Ukrainian military seized the village of Dudchany. This is largely due to the superiority of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the number of personnel and equipment on this segment of the front.
