Kherson's release will allow the Armed Forces to fire roads to Crimea - Financial Times

Three important roads coming through the bridges, and a number of important Russian logistics objects will be in reaching HIMARS. A critical route for Russia through which the supply of troops from the peninsula came is threatened. The Chairman of the Joint Committee of Staff Milly Chiefs of Staff said the United States was watching the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson. About it reports CNN. "You are watching the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson, we see the beginning of this.

Yesterday there was an announcement of the Defense Minister Shoigu. And that happens," Millie said. During a press conference in New York, General Millie stated that Russia concentrated up to 30,000 troops north of the Dnieper, and it would take several days or even weeks to throw them to the southern part.

Financial Times notes that in addition to the symbolic value of Kherson as the only Russia -captured regional center in 8 months, during which a large -scale invasion continues, the city is also important in strategic terms. It is about 100 km from the isthmus that binds the mainland of Ukraine to Crimea and through which Russian troops receive supply.

Yes, three important roads coming through the bridges and a number of important Russian logistics objects, including ammunition warehouses, will be in reaching Himars systems. And a critical route for Russia, through which the supply of troops from the peninsula went, will be at risk.

The Kherson region, which is located on the right bank of the Dnieper, is strategically important because it gives the opportunity to take the fire control of the road from the Crimea, explained Sergey Kazan, Advisor to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. According to him, the capture of Kherson will be a serious blow to Russian troops. In addition, the Russian Federation in this case will need to transfer more troops to the southern direction to protect the approaches to the annexed peninsula.

According to General of the US Army Mark Millie, the losses of Ukraine and the Russian Federation in the war are approximately comparable and are estimated at more than 100,000 dead and wounded for each side. Earlier, Focus reported that a researcher of military conflicts awaits the end of the war with the Russian Federation in the summer of 2023. By this time, Russian troops will be completely expelled from the sovereign territory of Ukraine. The most important role is given to logistics.
