on Kherson is still impossible to assess, but the main obstacle for the Armed Forces may be the cohesion of the Russian command, which has undergone certain changes after the failed operation in southern Ukraine, according to British intelligence analysts.
“Ukrainian long-range high-precision strikes continue to prevent the replenishment of Russian stocks. So far, it is impossible to confirm the scale of Ukrainian achievements. However, since the beginning of August, Russia has made significant efforts to strengthen its forces on the western bank of the Dnieper around Kherson,” the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain notes. after all, reinforced by components of the 35th Combined Arms Army of the Eastern Military District (SVO).
However, most of the units around Kherson are probably undermanned and rely on fragile supply lines via ferry and pontoon bridges across the Dnipro.
“This integration of air defense and air defense units indicates a significant reorganization of Russian forces in Ukraine. There is a realistic possibility that Russia has taken steps to rationalize the several semi-independent operational commands that caused it to suffer defeats at the start of the invasion,” the intelligence said.
It is the cohesion of this untested structure that is likely to be a key factor in resilience of the Russian defense in the south during the offensive of the Armed Forces.
