Whoa. Wait for confirmation, though. As stated, nothing concrete. Taking this one with a pinch of salt, myself.

Things are intense, likely to be lots of incorrect reports coming through either by design or just simple error but jeez, that’s what we all thought a week ago. At the way things have gone none of these reports would surprise me at all. I think even Ukrainian command are surprised at what’s gone on and I personally think that targets of opportunity should be gone at hell for leather even if it maybe wasn’t targeted when planning for the initial operation. The Russian front seems to be collapsing completely so go while the going is good. There is always the risk of counterattack but I don’t think the Russians have the force or armour available to do so, their artillery has been compromised, their rear is in range of Ukrainian artillery and the area is likely to be saturated with MANPADS making CAS incredibly difficult. God fucking speed.

Amazing if thise reports are true. Let us treat it as rum-int for now though. It would be incredible, but if there is a collapse, then of course it’s the right time to strike !

Maybe it’s a double-bluff? Get the Russians all panicked about the north, and when their attention is diverted, hit hard on the south as well?
(I have no real idea what’s going on, just pure baseless speculation)

I don’t think Kherson was a feint, but it now appears it was never a major offensive - ‘shaping’ the battlefield knowing full well they had no intentions of launching a major attack, but sustaining enough offensive pressure to fix those Russian reserves in place. However, they may be planning to take advantage of any attempt to withdraw those reserves in turn, particularly because they bottleneck at the bridges so readily. The Dnipr is a far more significant obstacle than the Oskil River, and we already know the Russians are using ferries to get supplies across. The right bank of the Dnipr may be the next pocket they attempt to liquidate.

I have similar thoughts to Arminius. It’s about scale and focus.
