The war in Ukraine has now been going on for over five months and the Ukrainian counter-offensive has become stronger. Lieutenant Colonel Joakim Paasikivi gives his analysis of the situation in the country.
– They have taken back about ten smaller villages in the Russian-occupied city of Kherson. But the offensive has not started yet, but what you are doing is creating the conditions for success.
The city surrounded
In practice, Ukraine has Kherson cut off from other occupied areas of the country. Among other things, they have bombed three bridges, which means that the roads into and out of the city for the Russian military are closed.
