Russian Army Retreats, Moves HQ Across Dnipro River After Ukraine Bombs Bridges

Knowing that their commanders ave fled to the safer eastern bank of the Dnieper River at Kherson is likely to have a demoralizing affect on the several thousand Russian troops left on the western bank now that all the bridges between the two have been blown by the Ukrainians and that those forces are preparing to attack.

Kateryna Tyschenko reports in Yahoo News:

Military leadership of the Russian occupying forces in southern Ukraine have moved their posts to the left [eastern] bank of the Dnipro river, leaving the personnel on the right bank cut off by the strikes of the Ukrainian armed forces. The Russians cannot transport enough weapons and equipment across the Dnipro River in the Kherson region. British intelligence believes resupply for the several thousand Russian troops on the western [right] bank of Dnipro is a key vulnerability: "With their supply chain constrained, the size of any stockpiles Russia has managed to establish on the West Bank is likely to be a key factor in the force’s endurance".Military leadership of the Russian occupying forces in southern Ukraine have moved their posts to the left [eastern] bank of the Dnipro river.
In #Russia|n-occupied areas of #Kherson region, south #Ukraine, the Russian military leadership is reportedly moving across the Dnieper River, leaving the personnel on the right bank cut off by the strikes of the Ukrainian armed forces.
  • On 10 August, the Armed Forces of Ukraine damaged the Kakhovka bridge in the Kherson region. Kakhovka Bridge was the last transport artery for the occupiers. Now the Russians cannot transport enough weapons and equipment across the Dnipro River in the Kherson region.

  • Earlier, the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully hit two more bridges in the area.

  • British intelligence believes that ground resupply for the several thousand Russian troops on the western [right] bank of Dnipro is a key vulnerability: "With their supply chain constrained, the size of any stockpiles Russia has managed to establish on the West Bank is likely to be a key factor in the force’s endurance".

    Quote: "I feel just a bit sorry – but not much – for the stupid orcs [derogatory naming for the Russian forces in Ukraine, - ed.] who had been abandoned on the right bank of Dnipro.

    All of the commanders are moving to the other side of Dnipro."
