On October 2, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched another offensive in the Kherson region. The attacks were carried out from several directions in an attempt to cut off the Russian grouping and advance deep into the region.
So far, the AFU managed to advance for about 30 kilometers along the right bank of the Kakhovsky water reservoir. The also control the Vysokopolie-Osokorovka road.
The villages of Khreshenovka, Shevchenkovka, Zolotaya Balka, Mikhailovka and Ukrainka came under Ukrainian control. The AFU took a foothold along the Lyubimovka — Belyaevka — Novoaleksandrovka line. Amid the ongoing offensive, they are transferring their reserves to the area.
In turn, the Russian military are holding their military positions in the villages of Novaya Kamenka and Dudchany. On the morning of October 4, Ukrainian forces resumed their offensive near Dudchany. So far, without any successes.

The AFU attempted to attack with T-72M1 tanks, followed by light armored vehicles BMP—1 and American-Dutch armored personnel carriers YPR-765. The movement of the AFU was detected by Russian UAVs and then shelled by Russian artillery:
At the same time, the AFU continue their attempts to break through Russian defences near Davidov Brod. The Russian military sources report that at night, the AFU once again attempted to attack. As a result, at least 3 Ukrainian tanks 2 Kozak armored vehicles were destroyed. Clashes continue in the area of Bruskinskoe. The AFU are trying to expand the bridgehead on the left bank of the Ingulets River in the area.
At night, another AFU assault group was destroyed in the area of Malaya Alexandrovka, located north of Davydov Ford.
Ukrainian forces have reportedly approached the Russian military positions in Snigirevka from the right bank of the Ingulets River. The Russian bridgehead which is of strategic importance may become another target for the Ukrainian offensive.
Ukrainian military equipment destroyed in the Kherson region:
So far, the Ukrainian military managed to advance in the north of the Kherson region, along the Kakhovsky reservoir. Despite heavy losses inflicted by Russian artillery and aircraft, they are transferring reserves to the area and are expected to continue their attempts to break through Russian defences towards the town of Novaya Kakhovka, where the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station is located. At the same time, the AFU are expected to develop their offensive to the west and attack Russian forces defending Novovoskresenskoe in an attempt to cut off the Russian grouping deployed in the north of the Kherson region.
On the western front lines of the Kherson region, the AFU are likely preparing for another large offensive, carrying out rotation of the troops and continuing reconnaissance operations by small assault groups. If the Ukrainian military succeed to break through Russian defences in Dudchany, Davidov Brod and Snigirevka before the reinforcement of Russian forces with the recently mobilized servicemen, the security of the whole Kherson region which has recently entered the Russian Federation will be threatened.
Have we won yet and why not?
you just don’t understand.. it’s a russian strategy … they advance very slowly for 5 months.. then retreat really fast for 1 month … to bait the ukies into a trap … and then … pff , just you wait for those untrained , 50 years old recruits to come to the front …. you will see . Russia stronk …
Russia is fighting whole NATO. It is already a miracle that it has lasted so long and taken so much territory. Technological, economic superiority and motivation are the crux of the matter in a modern warfare. Ukraine beats Russia in everything, plus she is the defender so she is motivated (see Afghanistan)
Nato is not doing any actual fighting. Russia would not stand a week against the full force of Nato.
That was exactly what I was going to write….
Only you forget to mention that NATO forces would not stand a week against the full force of Ukropizdan, also.
The RF is frighting alone the whole of NATO since February 2022. And got 4 new territories.
Yeah I’m tired of hearing about Russia is Fighting NATO alone to justify their piss poor performance in Battle! And the Four Territories the Russians Gained they didn’t win Militarily so don’t act like the Russians are Tough, those territories got Voted in! And as soon as they did hours later the Ukrainians captured one of the Towns that was Russian!
I’m going to die from Laughing at seeing the Piss Poor Performance of the Russians in Ukraine and how the US Navy Seals blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline, that will take a Decade & Billions of Dollars for Russia to Rebuild
And guess what the Pathetic Russians didn’t do anything about it, soon we will invade Russia and turn it into a Heap of Ruins!
Wrong ,your contry will be invaded 100%
are you saying that Ukraine are the defenders?
Interesting…so Russia’s retreat from Kyiv, Irpin, Bucha, Chernihiv, Hostomel etc. was also just a “trap” I guess…tempting the Ukrainian “Nazis” to be fooled into a well planned maskirovka. But when will that happen? Just curious.
Sorry “M from Romania” I failed to see the irony in your post :)
Given Russias decision to “strategically withdraw” was not intended as a future “trap.” It was a withdrawal due to not being able to defend held areas with the small number of troops with depleted supplies. Also the shift in strategy to give the four regions the vote to join the RF required pulling back and let the people decide their future. Well they chose to join the RF, the Duma ratified the results, and now we will see justification for Putin’s strategy in stronger military means, which I hope brings an end to this war by next summer.
There is no Plan or Strategy you Idiot! Why is it so hard for you Pro Putin Cockroaches to understand that the Russian Military is being defeated! You just have to come to grips, that we all have been mislead and duped, including myself, about the capabilities of the Russian Military!
Just admit that the Russian Army is nothing like what we have been led to believe!
When the ukro sodliers advance, their death rate and tank death rate is phenomenal. Russia values human lives, in fect they would prefer a negotiated settlement and like the ukros to surrender. The mercenaries, foreigners, NATO and Nazis are an exception but even they are of help in getting captured Russians back.
War is complicated
it’s also cruel. Peace with development is beautiful and justified.
Because stupid Russian don’t know how to copy US military tactics. Simple, first you have to bomb the country to zero. China would not be so bad at war with Taiwan. The Chinese know how to copy good tactics.
So if US had another civil war, they would just carpetbomb each other?
Why would you copy those tactic, did they work in Vietnam?
Iraqi in the long run failed.
Doesn’t really win over the people
The US don’t want to “win over” anyone, they just want to make sure nobody can stand on their own feet, and that they can keep “selling” their stuff and preferably, also looting the occupied country. From that angle, Iraq is a big success.
They have almost free oil. Is that not enough for the uranium destroyed Iraqi children?
Hearts cannot be won. They will hate them as long as they live. But there is a solution. As long as they live. If they don’t live anymore and their wives and daughters sell sex in Düsseldorf or London…
USA does not want to conquer long term, just to obliterate, plunder and go away. Russia wanted to take back Ukraine so destroying the country was not an option first… Maybe they will take it into consideration, eventually.
Because he does not accept the help of his friend Kim. Friend Kim would send him 100,000 North Korean troops.
Soon. General Winter, and Marshal Time have yet to be consulted.

Ukranie will win this war! because russian army all gay and uneducated. Russia is over. There is no army like Stalin’s time!.
for sure the ukrops are dying in droves
in Kherson there are just losing men to advance some km and then losing it the next day
in Bakhmut they are retreating very fast ( at least they have understood that retiring is better than dying )
so no, it isn’t like in Kharkov, not even similar
and the Russians finally have decided to start a real war, with true soldiers ( not conscripts from the LDPR and “volunteers” 50+ years old )
Yes the Ukrainians are suffering Casualties but they are still Winning the War and that’s the only thing that matters!
Yes !! …..Now send more Mercenaries. The new recruits need shooting practice !!
let’s invade Ukraine they said… it will be easy they said, it will all be over in 3 days they said. 6 months later, russians are fleeing Russia out of fear of mobilisation and russian troops in the field are running away losing badly on all fronts and you just lost Nordstream 1 and Nordstream 2 that you spent many years and billions building… what is next? use all available nukes to defeat ukraine? Yes , we have high energy price in Europe, but we were under communists for a long time, we are used to it. (thanks to Russia also ) .
Fuck off 6th column shill.
MSM claimed 3 days, not Russia
Where has this three day bullshit come from?the only people i hear talking about three days are the whores in the MSM and you Nazi bitches,i never heard any Russian talk about three days.
Well Cromwell…of a Russian would speak of the “three days” he would probably fall out of a window…or just disappear.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Mark Milley, told congressmen that Kiev could fall within 72 hours in the event of a “full-scale Russian invasion” of Ukraine. The corresponding statements are cited by Fox News channel, citing Congressional sources.
But their wasn’t a full scale invasion putin went in soft to not destroy infrastructure and keep the civilians onside but it has worked out badly for him
He should have done what was done in grozny blitz everything
Bomb all airports bridges transport hubs and all roads leading into Ukraine from the west any lorry or train that moved across the borders
It was enough to secure the entire western border to block the flow of men and armaments from Europe. 100,000 men were enough for this task. Instead in February they went to Kiev …
The US believes that Russia has accelerated preparations for an invasion that could lead to the death of 50,000 civilians, 5 million refugees and the fall of Kiev in 2 days, sources told @washingtonpost.
Correct. Russian leaders and mostly the military decision ones are utterly incompetent and corrupt. They even told Putin what he wanted to hear, only to please him and to be good for theirs warm chairs. Exactly how it was In Romania during Ceaucesco regime and his PCR (Romanian Comunist party). They lied him daily and he, as an imbecile, believed all those idiocies. So, who was the most guilty back than ? The liars or the recipient of these lies ? I think finally it’s the recipient who is an imbecile because he don’t VERIFY all stupid things that arrived to him. So, here is the same. The deeply incompetent and corrupt russian military leaders lied and continue to lie for own sake with catastrophic results. Putin instead, should have been arrested Shoigu and half of the all HQ staff in march.
Because they didn’t destroy the infrastructure. It was a tactical error that the Chinese or the US would never make. Never.
The US electoral situation is getting desperate
They US government needs a victory -any victory no matter how small- to justify the economic damage they’ve done
And they’ll sacrifice every Ukrainian if they have to
And zelensky and his regime doesn’t care as long as the globalist money keeps flowing into his pocket to but 8 million dollar vacation homes
dude they spent 2000 BILLIONS in afganistan for no result, do you think USA cares about 20 BILLIONS sent to Ukraine? and if that is the price to put out Russia on the international theatre? it’s peanuts money …
Correct. And not to mention that the factory of the paper toilet fiat money DOLLAR is running non-stop.
Why don’t they use more precise weapons? Mines fall everywhere but the target…
errrr … what precise weapons? it’s seems war is not like in the Tom Cruise movies :)
“In turn, the Russian military are holding their military positions in the villages of Novaya Kamenka and Dudchany. On the morning of October 4, Ukrainian forces resumed their offensive near Dudchany. So far, without any successes.”

It’s bad if you’re a racist and don’t even want to enlist those who served in the North Korean army neither Eritrean and FARC volunteers.
“On the western front lines of the Kherson region, the AFU are likely preparing for another large offensive … the whole Kherson region which has recently entered the Russian Federation will be threatened.”
If all these things are known, why does Russia not take action and instead keep withdrawing?
I suspect last Friday’s ceremony was purely political for internal electoral purposes only. No more progress has been seen since July! The Russian army continues to withdraw.
Why don’t they want FARC, Eritrean private soldiers and North Korean soldiers with them?
So when these offensives of Ukraine fail… What then?
Manpower gone, war machines gone… Southern Ukraine gone.
One name, Cutis LeMay, USAF general, the guy who developed Battlefield Air Interdiction. Stupid Russian command hasn’t decided to fight war by the military books. First of all destroy all bridges across Dnieper, next all bridges, railways, roads, viaducts behind the front lines. Destroy mobile phone network, tanks with fuel, every single train, airport…. Then they might expect some progress. In present situation UAF can replace troops, bring reserves, supply with weapons east Ukraine and has constant offensive. Someone in Russian command is stupid or traitor or both.
Ukraine is being bled white of man power, if you read military history, you’d see that German high command did the same in the latter days of WW1, they drafted and used up all available civilian man power for one last big push, after initial minor success it failed, Ukraine is doing the same, and Russia hasn’t even gone up a gear yet.
The Russians want the Ukrainians to come to them, come into their territory. Russia didn’t win WW2 in Berlin, it won in it deep inside Russia
Iranian Army commander is angry because of Mohajar 6 drone captured by Ukraine.
The commander believes, a Russian working for Ukraine (a mole) piloted the drone intact into the sea for Ukraine.
Russian military is full of traitors. And NO measures whatsoever. It is very true the good old saying: ‘the strongest enemy of the russian peoples are…..themselves’.
Run. Russians, run!
Is Russian preparing something to let Ukro have an advance so much? will they come back with larger troops and equipment?
Russia is simply losing ground. They cannot even maintain their current positions in defence. The American strategy is clearly working. At this point, I don’t even believe that Ukraine has suffered so many losses, otherwise its soldiers would not be so motivated. The Ukrainians use all the manpower at their disposal and are well armed and supplied. At this point I think it is almost over for Russia. At the strategic level it has achieved nothing because Ukraine has effectively become a NATO country and the Americans have destroyed any economic ties between Russia and Europe.
Ukraine has lost 90,000 men to death.
Russia has lost roughly 10,000 men.
And the DPR, LPR and militias have lost toughly 40,000 men
Russia hasnt even started this war yet. All russia is doing is shelling from behind.
shelling from behind Moscow, soon!
Ukraine soldiers are not motivated at all, NATO mercenaries are. They are high on Captagon, heavy metal and are having the fun of their lives, some kind of extreme sports…
The goal is to accumulate 100% of Western armaments in Ukraine, then appropriate them! ;)
It is now clear that the annexation of Ukrainian territories was purely a political move to appease domestic public opinion. The reality is that Russia militarily and politically is almost defeated. The Americans will arm the Ukrainians and supply mercenaries until they take back the territories and drive Russia to surrender. The whole thing will probably end with a treaty in which Russia will perhaps only get Crimea and nothing more.
you couldn’t be further from the truth if you tried lmao. Take a break from western propaganda and seek the truth!
There’s no need of western propaganda. The reality is in front of you.
Russia can not even maintain its current positions. Kharkov is lost and they are losing ground also in the annexed Kherson (in just 1 month).
Donbass is not fully liberated after 8 months and a quarter of Zaporozhie is still in Ukrainians hand.
Ukraine army is not demotivated and it is well supplied and armed.
The rest of Ukraine is living almost in normal mode.
USA has destroyed North Stream and Russia did nothing.
USA has destroyed any economic relation between Russia and Europe. In the long term it will badly impact Russian economy.
At a strategical level Russia is not gaining anything.
everything you just said is western propaganda lmao
Everything I wrote is a fact
From Pamfil Military Academy you earn today the virtual medal for the extremely accurate and non biased analysis.
Conjecture combined with wishful thinking.
Russia has not even air superiority. Elsewhere it would be impossible for Ukraine to do such counterattacks
Conjecture or not, Russia is loosing in an accelerate rate on all fronts. The ukrop freight train of 500 wagon cars fully loaded is smashing abything in it’s path. And the stupid incompetent, corrupt and treacherous military leaders still not arrested. Russian peoples are INDEED …STUPID. Stupid with the connotation of stupidity, not foolishness.
I agree with your analysis except for Crimea which will also be liberated.
not even Crimea!

“…the security of the whole Kherson region which has recently entered the Russian Federation will be threatened.” Well I would rather say that the security of the whole Kherson region was threatened the day Russian forces invaded the territory against all international conventions. Don’t forget that Russia signed the Budapest memorandum in 1994 meaning that they promised to respect the sovereignty of Ukraine in return for Ukraine giving its nuclear arsenal to Russia (something Ukraine deeply regrets now).
Here I don’t agree at all. Budapesta memorandum don’t keep you warm when you’re neo-nazi criminals are killing my ethnics on a daily basis.
ahahaha fucking noob russian army! all of gay and uneducated army.
https://twitter.com/vaziyetcomtr/status/1577052806166433793 see !
The truth is that ukrop nazis are breaking the front almost everywhere. In Kharkov area they already reach Svatovo-Kremenaya supply highway by advanced mercenary DRG’s, and use the same tactic of enveloping the russian fortified towns by probing all along the front and assaulting with many forces where the defense is most scarce and weak. In Kerson, same thing, russians lost in 3 days more than 30 km’s and are retreating from the left bank of the Dnieper causing a dangerous situation for the forves in Davidov Brod to be encircled.
Only now it is to see the reality of the military-politically russian status. What told Strelkov for 8 years, and for what others paid with theirs life, like Motorola, Zackarchenco, Givi, etc, real patriots and excellent army commanders, is show now. A very potent army full of nepotism, corruption, stolen funds, very insufficient equipped, insufficient funded, incompetent staff, full of traitors inside army decision centers, etc, etc…….Just read the yesterday Strelkov interview and he spoke about all of that. The bottom line is that despite there was 8 years good for war preparation, russians done almost nothing in direction to win the coming war. The general opinion amongst russian ethnics inside nazi banderastan is that they were perceived as a very heavy millstone for Russia and Russia didn’t know for 8 years how to discard that issue. Only after other things entered the ecuation, like the secret ameriscum biological laboratories, Russia finally take the action. But, because of the above mentioned, with no proper preparations. I’m confident as even Strelkov is, that if Russia will change its military leaders soon, a clear and utterly destroy of the ukrop hohola neohitlerists could happen in a max. of 12-18 months by now.
So much losing!
Who is the officer behind these Ukranian operations? Which military academy? Politics aside, but militarily wise it must be someone extremely gifted, Louis Davout, Eugen de Savoy, etc. Incredible..
Tactical nukes will be used shortly.
So the Russians watch all those endless columns of Ukrainian troops and equipment and use artillery fire to hit one tank here and there while the rest just move on. What happened to the Russians having complete air superiority? Where’s the Russian aviation? NATO would have decimated every single one of those vehicles with their airpower. Is that the new Russian strategy – let’s watch as the Ukrainians are taking back all the territories? It took Russia 8 months to gain that territory and at this pace Ukraine will occupy half of Russia by the end of 8 months.
Tun off the gas pipes supplying ukraine
If they did not do that at the invasion time, they are not taking this war seriously, it is a joke just like the covid war.
The RF is frighting alone the whole of NATO since February 2022. And got 4 new territories. 300k soldiers are coming. And some tactical nukes. Cope.
The whole NATO? I don’t see any NATO army on the ukrainian territory. Nato is just supplying arms and intelligence. 20 Himars were enough to turn the tables on the ground. I know…it’s incredible to believe. I thought that Russia was a superpower but it is not
lol you moron.
you can see hundrets of vids showing thousands of mercs from usa, gb, poland and many other western countries fighting for ukros or leading ukro soldiers.
Should be blowing up all infrastructure and all transport crossin the border
Nazis are good in ‘being transformed in ashes’. https://t.me/intelslava/38321
so the DC paid trolls are manipulating the likes again, you are so embarrassing
KHERSON, October 4. “The Neo-Nazi Ukrainian battlegroup that moved forward towards the village of Dudchany in the Kherson Region ended up trapped in a fire pocket set up by Russian forces, Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the regional military-civilian administration, said on Tuesday.
“In the Dudchany area, the advance by Ukrainian Neo-Nazis has practically stopped and now aircraft and artillery are finishing crushing in the fire pocket all those who intruded into the sovereign territory of the Russian Federation,” he said in a video posted on his Telegram channel.
Head of the Kherson regional military-civilian administration Vladimir Saldo said on Monday that two Neo-Nazi Ukrainian battalions, which had attempted to break through in the Dudchany area towards the Kakhovka hydro power plant were routed.”
