In its daily report, the American Institute for the Study of War writes that the battle for Kherson is still ongoing. Still, Russian troops have entered a new phase: they are not seeking to stop the Ukrainian counteroffensive completely. Still, they prioritize the orderly withdrawal of their forces across the Dnieper.
According to the institute's experts, the retreat of the Russian army from the west bank of the Dnieper is hardly a trap designed to trap Ukrainian troops in a heavy-loss battle near Kherson.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces have made territorial gains northeast of Kherson and are continuing their successful advance.
