Kherson: Operational and tactical situation as of October 26.
🔺 The final decision—to defend the city of Kherson—has been made, largely thanks to General Surovikin and his strategic talent. It is no longer up for discussion. Surovikin and his command staff will be directly in charge of the Kherson operation.
The grouping of the Russian Armed Forces around Kherson has been significantly increased and reinforced in line with the current combat situation. All power structures in the city are in place.
All strategic directions and transport arteries leading to Kherson—on the Nikolayev, Krivoy Rog and Nikopol routes—are fully controlled by the RF Armed Forces.
🔷 During the past 24 hours, the enemy made several attempts at reconnaissance-in-force using battalion-tactical grouping (BTGs) and each time suffered significant losses and retreated.
It is known with certainty that, according to the strategy of the Ukrainian General Staff, the Ukrainian army plans to gather a grouping of forces numbering up to 45,000 people along the directions of the coming offensive, conducting a simultaneous strike in three directions.
The implementation of this plan is complicated by poor mobilization results, i.e. lack of personnel, complete demoralization of the existing mobilized troops from the AFU reserve, lack of supply of new weapons and insufficient complement of existing equipment, and weather conditions.
Under current weather conditions, the terrain on the outskirts of Kherson turns into mud traps. At the same time, it is very difficult for the AFU and its logistics units to move along the roads [because of Russian artillery]. And the farther into winter, the harder the logistics become.
All the so-called "tactical plans" of the General Staff of the AFU today involve the usual stalling for time. A simulacrum of an offensive is being carried out, into which untrained mobilized people freshly recruited from the streets are thrown in.
The enemy is heavily stretched along the front, forced to use foreign mercenaries on the main lines, which mercenaries in turn refuse to fight as infantry, causing many conflicts between them and the national battalions—in disputes over the right to hide behind the backs of untrained AFU soldiers of the 50+ age category.
Although the general picture on the line of contact near Kherson suggests that an offensive by the AFU is imminent, the operational and tactical situation today is generally stable. The enemy wants to take Kherson, this is currently the only real and tangible goal of the AFU General Staff, and it has less and less time to siphon financial aid from Western partners.
The Russian Army, in turn, is ready to defend the city of Kherson and to further develop tactical success, if appropriate—to counter-attack in the direction of Nikolayev-Odessa.
