Ukraine war: Insolence of Russian troops in Kherson appears to confirm officers have fled

Russia has been trying to change the southern Ukraine city of Kherson into one of its own, but strikes by US-supplied HIMARS missiles have helped cut off the city from its supply lines. Insiders say the signs are that a Ukrainian counterattack is imminent.

The city of Kherson, on the banks of the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine, was taken by Russian forces without much fight in early March, days after the invasion started.

It remains Russia‘s biggest victory in the war and still one of the only major cities that its forces have managed to capture.

In recent weeks, however, Ukrainian forces have struck three key bridges over the river, making them virtually impassable for heavy vehicles – the aim being to slowly strangle Russian supply lines and cut off thousands of soldiers in the city.
