Brigade Commander Khodakovsky: In the near future, Sergei Surovikin will face serious tests, especially in the Kherson direction

The commander of the Vostok brigade continues to give a balanced assessment of what is happening and the prospects for the development of the situation in the zone of the special military operation. Just a few hours ago, in his Telegram channel, he spoke about the difficult situation in the Ugledar direction. There, our allied forces are advancing towards Pavlovka, but wet fields, in particular, which, moreover, are also located in a lowland in relation to the enemy’s fortified areas, prevent rapid progress.

And now a new publication of the brigade commander has been published, in which he analyzes the situation as a whole for the command of the Northern Military District, primarily for the commander of the Russian grouping of troops in the zone of the special military operation, General of the Army Sergei Surovikin. We are talking about another, no less, and maybe more important sector of the front - the Kherson direction.

Judging by the fact that the weather is improving, in the near future Sergey Surovikin will face serious tests, especially in the Kherson direction

Khodakovsky predicts.

The brigade commander did not, as is customary among military commentators, describe the details of the situation on the banks of the Dnieper and lament that in Kherson "everything is ambiguous and difficult." Khodakovsky, himself an active officer, is more likely to expect quick and correct decisions from the commander, which will finally be able to radically change the frozen situation at the front in our favor. What most Russians expect from Surovikin.

At the same time, Khodakovsky understands that in case of mistakes or failures that cannot be completely ruled out in such a difficult environment, it is Surovikin who will be held responsible. Moreover, “they will also “remember Lapin, in the struggle around whom he did not participate,” in order to win back at least someone. In this case, the brigade commander is sure that the defeat will be attributed exclusively to the commander-in-chief: "as is always the case with orphanage defeats."

I don't think he's ever been in a similar situation with responsibility of this level on his shoulders.

- the brigade commander argues.

In case of success, for which there are very good chances, the feat will be credited not only to Surovikin, but also to "his soldiers and officers, and to complete the composition to someone else."

Hold on, Commander

- Khodakovsky encourages the commander, understanding like no one else that the general's success is our common victory.

Meanwhile, information appears in Russian publics that Russian troops in Kherson are being withdrawn from the right bank of the Dnieper to the left. Deputy head of the administration of the Kherson region Kirill Stremousov said that in the next 1,5-2 weeks it is possible to intensify hostilities in the region, including battles in the administrative center. Everyone excited news the last hour that the Russian flag was removed from the building of the regional administration, although the tricolors remained on other administrative buildings.

Earlier, representatives of the Kherson administration have repeatedly stated that the city is ready for defense, they are not going to surrender it.

Comments

[Murmur 55]

What's going on interesting? Don't understand at all.

[neworange88]

The upcoming Battle of Kherson is a general battle akin to the Battle of Stalingrad in WWII. Preparations are underway for the general battle. By the way, in the Battle of Stalingrad, the main battles also took place northwest of Stalingrad in the steppes, as now in the steppes in the Kherson region, just northwest of Kherson, the main events are taking place. And also, the Dnieper River was behind our soldiers, and in WWII, the Volga River was behind them. Everything coincides to the smallest detail. The Battle of Stalingrad lasted from July-August 1942 to February 3, 1943. Everything coincides right down to the smallest detail. Directly some kind of metaphysics.

Russia has created a layered defense and is pulling up additional forces, so the Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing their numerical advantage. Probably, now they have retreated a little deeper into the controlled territory and are trying to replenish their reserves. This opinion was expressed by military analyst Mikhail Onufrienko in a conversation with the VZGLYAD newspaper, commenting on the military situation in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction. disappeared. Over the past XNUMX hours alone, the most active sorties were seen near Berislav, in the area of ​​the villages of Ishchenko, Bruskinskoye, Sukhanovo and Pyatikhatka,” military analyst Mikhail Onufrienko said. First of all, this was done precisely in the Kherson direction, as the most dangerous, ”the interlocutor argues.

Well, you shouldn't exaggerate that much.

I'm telling it like it is. I'm not exaggerating or minimizing.

[Asad]

Maybe you should not consider your opinion as the ultimate truth?

Quote: ASAD

Maybe you should not consider your opinion as the ultimate truth?

Opinion? All the main forces of the warring parties are focusing precisely on the Kherson direction, if you are not in the know.

[NKT]

Well, the events near Kherson do not correspond to Operation Uranus. Is the attack on Avdiivka and Marinka an operation Mars?

[Sedoy]

I tell it like it is

how do you know "as is"?

[neworange88]

Quote: Sedoy

I tell it like it is

how do you know "as is"?

I guessed on the coffee grounds. But seriously, what secrets can there be in the era of satellite intelligence, the media, telegrams and a lot of sources who can't keep their mouths shut? And whoever searches, as you know, will always find.

[Sedoy]

Yes, you are an osint-analyst...
I know who to contact...

[TIR]

Kherson is the only regional center occupied by us. At the 1st stage we lost Kyiv, Sumy, Chernihiv. At the 2nd stage, Kharkiv and the cities of the DPR lost. Stage 3 is the loss of Kherson. And that's it. SVO lost. Those who, in a jingoistic frenzy, do not see the facts, the more difficult it is to objectively look at the situation. We have lost the initiative in all areas. They went on the defensive. Now we are forced to respond to events, and not CREATE them ourselves

[storm]

Did Donetsk and Lugansk surrender to the Armed Forces of Ukraine?
You seem to be delirious, dear TIR ....

[TIR]

I'm talking about the NWO period! I do not affect the time until February 2022. And rightly so. The loss of Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea-it will be a complete capitulation. It is the significant thing that we took during the NWO that we lost. Exception Kherson

[barricade]

And that is why in Kherson they undermine all the boats that can swim? Vids already in TG

[Comrade_X]

In Kherson, there is a general panic evacuation - all polyclinics and the morgue were closed. turned off Russian television. The boats are destroyed on the orders of Saldo, so that the Armed Forces of Ukraine could not move to the left bank on them if the city is surrendered. The information is absolutely reliable.

[Sedoy]

Boats destroy

judging by the photo in the cart, no one "destroyed" them - they are all just flooded - get it and use it ...

[Comrade_X]

I live in Kherson and no photos in the TG are an argument for me. I saw with my own eyes boats shot through and blown up by grenades.

[Sedoy]

I believe they just look whole in the photo

[Comrade_X]

if they are shot in the underwater part, then this will not be visible in the photo

[mikh-korsakov]

By your analogy, on November 15-20, can we expect a breakthrough of the RF Armed Forces on the Kherson front? The question is, what are we going to surround?

[flicker]

The upcoming Battle of Kherson is a general battle akin to the Battle of Stalingrad

"The upcoming battle of Kherson" it doesn’t even come close to Stalingradskaya - neither in scale, nor even in significance.
---
Another thing, for the enemy, success and fatefulness can be so that the West does not stop funding the non-country - for us, the battle for our Russian city.
This is about the significance of the battle.

As for the surrender of the right-bank part of Kherson, the statements of various publics are more like nonsense

Meanwhile, information appears in Russian public pages that Russian troops in Kherson are being withdrawn from the right bank of the Dnieper to the left

What is the point for us to give up territories without a fight, especially fortified, especially urban ones?
No
Of course, the situation may develop in such a way (or may not develop) that it would be wiser to retreat to the city and take up defense there.
And, which is generally unlikely, after the fighting on the right bank of Kherson, retreat to the left bank. Maybe, of course, heavy artillery will be withdrawn, no more.
Once again, this is only in case of force majeure.

[former soldier]

Everything coincides right down to the smallest detail. Directly some kind of metaphysics.

But we don't need this at all. "One cannot enter the same river twice." "any analogy is lame"

[ramzay21]

The upcoming Battle of Kherson is a general battle akin to the Battle of Stalingrad in WWII.

What the hell is the Battle of Stalingrad? What do you all compare with the Second World War? We were then attacked by all of Europe and there were many more of them, plus Japan, ready for an attack, in the East of our country. There has never been such a war in the history of our country.

If you want to compare with the wars of that time, then compare it with the bloodless liberation of Moldova from Romania or with the war against Finland, which is considered Stalin's most unsuccessful war, but at the same time she had clear goals and they were achieved in four months.

And the battle for Kherson can go according to the scenario of a gesture of goodwill, when our army was ordered to withdraw from Kyiv and leave the Kyiv region, Sumy region, Chernihiv region and also the western part of the Kharkov region.

Quote: Murmur 55

Don't understand at all.

The "fog of war" and our command did a lot to unleash it... From the point of view of the military, it is impossible to leave a bridgehead on the right bank, it is now fettering not only our forces, but also a lot of Ukrainian ones, and now give them the opportunity to free them, which to use in other directions...it's not right. And besides, this is our excellent foothold, from which you can go both to Odessa, to the Romanian and Moldovan borders, and in general, start moving north along the Dnieper. The right bank is higher, much higher in some places than the left, which means that moving along it will make it possible to keep the space on the left bank under observation and fire to a greater depth, and it’s time to free the Zaporizhzhya NPP with Energodar from shelling

[Murmur 55]

svp67 , that’s why I’m writing that it’s not clear, it seems like it’s profitable for us to keep this part of our land already, and Stremousov says that they say the troops are preparing to cross to the left bank, what is it ??? Explain who can.

I agree here, everyone is waiting for something .. These exchanges of prisoners, etc. But still, I feel that something large-scale is being prepared at the end of November, 200 thousand mobilized are still being coordinated, the second T-62 was removed from storage and modernized (there are something like 1500 of them, easy to manage and at the same time powerful tanks)
So Good luck to you Commander-in-Chief, Russia is already tired of all this .. It's time to resolve the issue and be tough!

[Kronos]

T 62 even modernized trash is not suitable for modern combat operations, 200 thousand is enough for defense no more.

Are you writing from Kyiv along the way? Or from the fugitives ..?

[former soldier]

rubbish not suitable for modern warfare

If we have already mentioned modern hostilities, then any tanks are burning in them. Moreover, the Abrams and Merkavs do not seem to be visible on the horizon.

[Aviator_]

Abrams and Merkavs are not visible on the horizon.

Abrams burned well in Iraq, and Merkava cannot move beyond the Negev desert at all.

[filibuster]

On the other hand, now there is a risk that the grouping on the right bank will be left without supplies and will not be able to contain the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

[svp67]

Quote from: filibuster

On the other hand, now there is a risk that the grouping on the right bank will be left without supplies and will not be able to contain the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

During the Second World War, larger groups were supplied, but now, when there are a lot of special equipment, helicopters cannot supply that amount ... I don’t know, I don’t know

[filibuster]

During the Second World War, there were no such means of reconnaissance and the possibility of delivering high-precision strikes.
You can see for yourself if someone had said a year ago that our army would be where I would sit on the defensive in Ukraine and even retreat. But in fact, as I see it, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have the main advantage in intelligence and the ability to quickly deliver gifts at the identified coordinates, if it were possible to jam Western satellites (providing communications, reconnaissance, GPS), then the situation would be completely different.
There was no such thing before that, in fact, any headquarters, warehouse, just the location of a unit at a distance of up to 70 kilometers from the front line under the threat of a missile strike.

[Sedoy]

bridgehead on the right bank, it now fetters not only our forces, but also a lot of Ukrainian

yes, he doesn’t hold back the dill there - there simply aren’t those forces that could pose a threat to the dill ...
there can be no talk of any attack on Odessa, even in the direction of Nikolaev you can’t pull ...
so, to sit there, at best, in place, and God forbid that they sit ...
because if they surrender the right bank, then they will never take it again ...
However, the Kremlin does not need this ...
he has all the power to negotiate ...

[Thrifty]

Murmur55 - we are waiting for the next massive "gestures of goodwill with regroupings"! Is it really incomprehensible that 300 thousand conscripts will not save the situation, that this is a half-measure that had to be taken as soon as they were taken away in positional battles, about 5 months ago? And taking into account the fact that Peskov said that no more conscription is planned, it turns out very at least, a sad result!

[Murmur 55]

Thrifty , then I'm sorry, I do not understand (male sexual) at all. It seems that they created a line of defense, people were called up and are on the line, the authorities of almost all levels declared Kherson would not surrender, and then oops.

[Thrifty]

Murmur55-watched an interview with Stremousov, and the evil took more and more! After all, we cannot defend our own Russian lands! we just easily give them to the enemy !!!

After all, we can’t defend our Russian lands! It’s much easier to give away than to win back! To hand over Kherson, who will believe us after that?

Yes, they haven’t handed over anything yet, why are you simmering to raise it ahead of time? Yes, the battle is not weak, but it has not yet begun, and you have already passed everything. Now Surovikin will make public his plans and data on the main forces and reserves for everyone to use, so that the especially impressionable can sleep peacefully. Relax and listen to the news.

[Bayun]

are preparing for "eternal peace" with the wording: "Border along the Dnieper".

If you look broadly, they have bent us a lot, from the Mir cards to the "grain deal" ... The British are drowning our flagships and tearing up gas pipelines ... And we have a thinner gut than the Irish freedom fighters turned out to be.

One American from the Congress said that the Russian government has 500 billion of money in the West. And that's just the whites! This means that "chernushki" - through all sorts of shares-JV-dummy locals - every 10 times more. The West has already squeezed out 300 billion and, apparently, made it clear that it has found other "bins of the motherland."

PS: and this is still the "good" West did not turn off the Internet, Androids and Windows for us. And could!

Quote from Dartanyan

Pavlovka .... A city of a million people, a metropolitan area, a lot of factories, industrial zones ... It's not easy to take it .... It's been a week already ....

Because of the washed-out roads, it’s not easy, especially since from the high-rise buildings of Ugledar it is Pavlovka at a glance. Nevertheless, more than 60% of Pavlovka has already been cleared by the RF Armed Forces.

[Dartanian]

Haven't reached the Polinka hypermarket yet? There is one parking lot for 50.000 cars, take it for at least 2 months, especially since the asphalt is soaked .....

[Bayun]

Someone can clearly explain in a military way why "take" settlements at all, if they are so well - I believe - fortified. Is there a solid "Mannerheim line" between all the villages. BYPASS - absolutely nothing?

Breakthroughs should be between 3-5 nearby settlements AT THE SAME TIME. Then the adversary will not be able to concentrate the flanking fire of heavy weapons. Of course, if you try to encircle cities and villages one at a time, there will be powerful flanking fire, nullifying all efforts to encircle.

Although, if on both sides 100 people are fighting where 10 are needed, everything is clear. Even 000 against 10 can hold out for an hour or two. And in 100 hours - this is from a radius of 2-100 km to a hot section quickly hundreds of their own drive up. And already an attack of 200 people against 100, you won’t get through.

Here on the forum, uryakalki wrote yesterday that Odessa will soon be ours. And here, as it were, Kherson himself could not be left.

[Bayun]

It seems that in the 21st century it is "not customary" to WIN wars. So - entered, shat, left. And the reason is clear. The winner will not be "understood" if he slaughters the losers, as in the good old days. What if there is no genocide? Then the undefeated must be fed, and this is no longer interesting for the winner.

In fact, war today is a trap, because everyone, like hell at the official level, is even afraid of the word "war".

[Sandor Clegane]

the article says that our troops are being withdrawn from the right bank of the Dnieper .... at the same time, a layered defense has been created, somehow it does not fit together, although if the Wehrmacht destroys the dam above, it will not seem enough ..... little information

[Murmur 55]

Sandor Clegane , there is little information, it is contradictory in places, and the previous statements of our officials do not add optimism, so it remains to wish our warriors on the front line of stamina, commanders of wisdom, but for us patience and calmness in statements.

In the Kharkov region Turchak also said that "Russia is here forever." And then came the "regrouping".

[Skobaristan]

Do not give a reference to exactly where in the Kharkiv region Turchak said this phrase. Really curious.

[Boris Sergeev]

Difficulties in using the search engine?

"Russia will provide all-round assistance to the Kharkiv region," Secretary of the United Russia General Council Andrei Turchak said.

“Russia will provide all-round assistance to the liberated territories. Today, in Kupyansk, we agreed with Vitaly Ganchev, head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, that, taking into account the shortage of personnel, we will form a consolidated team of specialists from Russia in various areas,” Andrey Turchak wrote in his telegram channel.

He noted that a lot of work remains to be done in the economic and educational spheres of the region. Also, Turchak added, it is necessary to bring the roads in the Kharkiv region out of the "deplorable state", noting that their neglect was not caused by hostilities.

“I never get tired of repeating: Russia is here forever – this is already an indisputable fact. And we will do everything to ensure that peaceful life on this land comes as quickly as possible, ”summed up the Secretary of the General Council of United Russia.

[Boris Sergeev]

By the way, no apologies for this chatter.

[Skobaristan]

Apologies for what? Is Turchak responsible for our military unit?

[Boris Sergeev]

Are you suggesting that the words of officials, say the leader of the "ruling party", mean nothing?

[Skobaristan]

Personally, I think that you are a provocateur. And we will return to the Kharkiv region.

[Skobaristan]

Thank you .. I found only in the Kherson region his statement. Well, then Turchak will have to return to Kupyansk together with the Russian Federation.

[Ronrew]

People, don’t you really understand that our government will not seriously fight and is waiting for acceptable conditions for itself for a “negotiable” and is ready not only to return Kherson to Ukraine, but if necessary, to pay off its own territory. And yes, the Russian army and the "defense industry" are extremely weak compared to the leading countries - the consequences of the collapse of the USSR and the rule of Yeltsin and the "unnamed" are affecting.

[barricade]

And why then climbed, if you are not ready seriously? Rhetorical question

[Bayun]

The globalists FORCE for their own purposes. For example, under the threat of killing children in "America and Europe". And who would not "climb" for the sake of their own children?

Perhaps not at all right. But when the truth is not told, a person finds something that explains to him "logically" why this is so.

PS: The version is quite logical, even if some Russian Senators have children who are citizens of other countries.

[Skobaristan]

And here is the question. If our government is like that, then why did our government need Crimea in 14, why support Donbass? It wouldn’t have happened, and it wouldn’t have been necessary now to “wait to negotiate.”

[Third district]

Quote from Ronrew

People, don’t you really understand that our government will not seriously fight and is waiting for acceptable conditions for itself for an “agreement” and is ready not only to return Kherson to Ukraine, but if necessary, to pay off its own territory.

As one person wrote: Do you really not understand that we are not at war with Ukraine?

It does not reach you that we are not only with NATO, we are not at war with Ukraine either.
The "those in power" have no desire to win and sit as outcasts behind the Iron Curtain. Why a yacht the size of a cruiser and a villa in Italy, if
you will be forced to sit in Penza all the time, because everywhere you are on the international wanted list. ?
So they are testing the ground to make peace and pay less at the same time.

[Russian Patriot]

But nothing that a subordinate comments on the actions of his boss in the media? Or did the SBU officer Khodakovsky forget about unity of command?

[FoBoss_VM]

If they know that there is a concentration of enemy forces. If they know where. Why don't they strike a preemptive strike? Or is the goal as much Russian blood as possible? Explain to me who knows

[don-1500]

Now I am at the training camp (preparation, coordination), they said we will go to Kherson. In the classroom they talk about fields and forest belts, but it may happen that we are waiting for urban development and the Dnieper River behind us.

[solar]

If it comes to fighting in the city itself, in urban areas, then the situation is already hopeless. In the city itself there are no bridges to the other side, and a pontoon or ferry across a wide river cannot be organized under direct enemy fire.
I think this situation will be avoided as much as possible.

[Jean Baptiste]

Even from the point of view of the defense of the left bank, it is possible to surrender the right bank only if our forces are so insignificant that they are incomparable with the forces of the enemy, in this case we get a second Donetsk, and which, as if from a cornucopia, not only chimeras as it is now, but everything else down to mortars. Apparently, there are no ideas to go further across the river, but the bridgehead on the other side of the Dnieper, if necessary, will have to be filled with blood. The Black Sea coast is the only strategic global military target in Ukraine, but with the current forces it is clearly too tough for us.

[aleksr2005]

If again there is an advantage in manpower 1 to 5 or 1 to 9, as it was in the Kharkov region. then here at least resurrect Suvorov, unfortunately you can only hope for a miracle.

[Master 2030]

I don't think he's ever been in a similar situation with responsibility of this level on his shoulders.

Since 1945, responsibility of this level has not been placed on anyone's shoulders.

[Vladimir80]

It is necessary to look at this situation with a cool head, if we leave and retreat, then there is no strength and ability to hold on. And there is no point in throwing our soldiers to death for the sake of a city in which half of the population is against us and is waiting for the return of the Ukrainians.
ps autocorrect "ho...hlov" for "Ukrainians" works on the site, but I just noticed

[Thrifty]

Vladimir 80, can everything be much simpler? That someone's selfish ambitions and interests of the "friends of the Kremlin" are simply put above any promises to the people, above the lives of you and me, our military there, in the war? After all, the war is on the territory of Russia, why is the Kremlin afraid to call the war honestly, war?

[Vladimir80]

Maybe it's easier, maybe the "friends" have joined ...
I’m talking about something else - if we don’t have real victories from the beginning of ours, if the goals of protecting the inhabitants of Donetsk from shelling are not achieved - we can assume that none of the strategies of our rulers worked (neither the appeal to the military on February 24, nor the fight against Nazism, nor gestures goodwill, no referendums, no concerts, nothing), i.e. nowhere except Donetsk we are not needed at all, there is no universal support either on the outskirts or within the country. Here's what to do in such a situation? Even if they took Kyiv - what to do with it? The number of enemies at the borders has increased (Finns in NATO). But inside the country is full of enemies - thieves and liars. What would you do in the place of the supreme in such a situation ???

[Thrifty]

Vladimir 80'-since the war has begun, you need to clearly understand what real goals you need and can get as a result. The main task of the war is the collapse of the uk-roin, the return of the lands to Russia. It is necessary to clearly allocate forces and resources, to begin with, to take 5 regions in full, to wage a guerrilla war in the rest, using local patriots and their special forces. It is necessary to endure the infrastructure, destroy the enemy’s defense industry, it is necessary to use their tactics of "creeping offensives". But, according to anyone, everything that was the lands of the uk-royna in six months or a year, we need to take it away! The war must be waged tough and to the border with Poland for start!

[Vladimir80]

You are talking about the war, about the lands of the outskirts - I agree that on the primordially (!) Russian lands they formed a state and population hostile to us. Let's imagine the unthinkable - the outskirts capitulated, the Russian troops in separate units throughout the territory. What's next, restore their factories and power plants, build roads??? We need roads. Residents of a hostile territory for having taken away their dream of a "European life" will arrange terrorist attacks, and not there, but in real Russian cities. Here the situation is reminiscent of Kosovo - even if the Serbs were able to recapture it - and who will live there, the Kosovars, thanks to Tito's policy, overtook the number of Serbs back in the 50s.

[Thrifty]

Vladimir 80 - do we really have a choice? We have returned the land for ourselves, this is the gene pool, and farmland, and industry. So, most importantly, those who hesitate to show that we are here forever. To invest in the economy of new regions, the return will be more difficult with people, you will have to allow those who do not like us, who need Europe more, to leave for good. There, 300 Natsiks keep the whole country in fear, so you need to put an end to the nationalists first of all by all means and means. We will invest in the economy, in the social sphere, over time they will believe us if we fulfill our promises, because everything that is not done is done for ourselves for the future!

[faterdom]

When everything starts, then we will see everything.
And now, even being inside the process, like Khodakovsky, everything should not be visible to him, however, his comments are always extremely careful and he never threw hats on anyone.
Now the parties are preparing, and if the politicians don’t screw up, we will have all the trumps in our hands, and Surovikin of endurance and perseverance, and let him harass liars so that rose-colored glasses do not interfere with the fight.

I think that Kherson will not be handed over. The city is prepared for defense, but the Ukrainians will not storm - they will not have enough forces and means to completely encircle them. First of all, air defense to cover the circumvalence line in the form of strongholds located in a fire bundle.
First, encircling a large city without air superiority or a mobile air defense umbrella is an original way of committing suicide.
Second, the Schlieffen lever worked near Bakhmut and the Ukrainians were forced to plug the breakthrough with reserves. Will they decide on a major offensive under such conditions?
Thirdly, the war of cities continues - ukrov have big problems with logistics.

Thanks man for the kind opinion. And then here they were already going to drape in California.

[nobody75]

And thank you for your kind words!

Did his son Alexander take many fortresses in this way? How long did Port Arthur sold by Stessel last? Why did Belisarius fail to take Kyiv by "thieves' betrayal"?

Gazeta.ru:

The Russian army is likely to leave Kherson and go to the left bank of the Dnieper, said the deputy head of the Kherson region Kirill Stremousov. He urged civilians remaining in the city to leave as quickly as possible. The authorities of the Kherson region previously moved to Genichesk.

If this does happen, it will be interesting to look at the local trolls, how they will change their shoes in the air? After all, one of their agitations is that the enemies are first lured into a trap by a retreat, and then they will be crushed by a very terrible blow ...

What's going on interesting? Khodakovsky - he is a brigade commander or a media observer. How does he know what is happening on the banks of the Dnieper. His site Ugledar. It is better for him to cheer up in the Ugledar direction, otherwise he complains that he does not have enough artillery to develop the offensive and the mud is impassable. Of course you can't drive his Lexus there.

It is worth noting only that: 1 (the most important thing according to the general :)) Podolyak has been silent for a day.
2. Today (Friday - 04.11.2022) there is no Time will tell and the Great Game.
3. ......until it's enough.
4. Well, we are waiting for Monday to teach something (well, this is from Bulgaria, you can have some information at this moment).
5. Well, bye and see you tomorrow (this is always Podolyak to say at the end of his publication) :)

Only this is a test not for the surovikin, but for our government, and especially for the guarantor of everything and everything and the super-chief commander. He bears direct responsibility, he started the operation for him and finish it.

[Evgenijus]

... that Russian troops in Kherson are withdrawing from the right bank of the Dnieper to the left

You look at the map - where to take it? The left bank is a lowland, and along the coast - cottages and further to the sea - separate villages. From the right bank, the view to the left is a training ground for artillerymen.

[Fangaro]

It's a little strange that Khodakovsky is talking about what Surovikin will do.
Politically and militarily, people of different weight categories. Not?

[Vlad Gor]

After a series of surrenders, flight, gestures of goodwill and regroupings, one can expect another flight from the Kremlin. The oligarchs of the Russian Federation and the authorities do not need a victory in Ukraine. Victory is needed by the people and the military. It is sad if Kherson is surrendered.

Quote: Bayun

are preparing for "eternal peace" with the wording: "Border along the Dnieper".

It may very well be. To be honest, this is not the worst option. Let people stop killing each other.

[Maks1995]

And just now the media wrote that the Ukrainians canceled the battle for Kherson. They just didn't show up. Minor collisions disturb and all.

Apparently, there is confusion in the manuals about what to write. Nothing, IMHO, will quickly take a single point of view.

[acetophenone]

It looks like Kherson drain is being prepared.
The text of your comment is too short and in the opinion of the site administration does not carry useful information.

[Altmann]

I'm afraid of a simple solution. It is openly discussed where the fight will take place, I will not discuss it. There is one question. Ukraine forced the Russian troops to retreat to Kherson, there is a possibility that Ukraine will turn in a different direction. Perhaps the concentration of Russian troops will be destroyed by non-nuclear weapons of mass destruction. It seems to me that our troops are concentrated at the request of the Ukrainians. I do not want to tell the truth and I hope that the General Staff is as smart as the Ukrainian one.

Khodakovsky brigade commander or a journalist pouring information into the media?
